No. There were no cameras in the DC station basement where he drew the short straw and was beat to death.

Turns out he was not beaten or beaten to death.

Can you provide evidence that he wasn't?

It all is a bit cloudy, I find it odd that when he texted his family he mentioned he had been pepper sprayed but not that he had been hit in the head. There is speculation that a guy in a pic holding what appears to be an extinguisher may have hit him. It seems a clot and subsequent stroke which proved inoperable was possibly the COD. I guess we will not know until autopsy results are published or part of a court case?

nope the guy with extinguisher is not the same per these reports we found:

"Sanford is accused of throwing a fire extinguisher at a police officer, officials confirmed to several sources." So I guess they want us to believe that there's a separate event of somebody else throwing a fire extinguisher at Sicknick - even though there's no tape of it and Sicknick didn't tell his brother anything like that. It says “The Inquirer reports Sanford was not the man who threw a fire extinguisher at Police Officer Brian Sicknick, who died from his injuries sustained during the unrest on Jan. 6.“ https://patch.com/pennsylvania/haverford/ex-delco-firefighter-arrested-attacking-officer-capitol

During the struggle at the Capitol, Sicknick, 42, was hit in the head with a fire extinguisher, two law enforcement officials said. The officials could not discuss the ongoing investigation publicly and spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity. https://www.inquirer.com/news/robert-sanford-capitol-riot-arrests-trump-chester-fire-department-delaware-county-fire-extinguisher-20210114.html

So the source of that fire extinguisher story is the police department itself or the news.

(NYT thus lied about this: “Then on Wednesday, pro-Trump rioters attacked that citadel of democracy, overpowered Mr. Sicknick, 42, and struck him in the head with a fire extinguisher, according to two law enforcement officials. With a bloody gash in his head, Mr. Sicknick was rushed to the hospital and placed on life support.”)

This doesn’t follow the police story. He wasn't taken to the hospital with a gash in his head, he supposedly collapsed in the department office later on, because if he was then how did he text his brother?
