He was taken to a hospital, where he died at 9:30 p.m. Thursday, police said.
According to sources familiar with the matter, authorities believe Sicknick's death was driven by a medical condition. They're also investigating reports that he was attacked with a fire extinguisher or another item at the Capitol, sources said. So far, reports of an attack haven't been confirmed and authorities are hoping to locate video or other imagery from the scene.
Sicknick's family said in a statement, "Many details regarding Wednesday's events and the direct causes of Brian's injuries remain unknown and our family asks the public and the press to respect our wishes in not making Brian's passing a political issue."
But look at the HEADLINE:
Federal murder probe opened for Capitol Police officer Brian Sicknick who died following riots
This is what I have told people from day one. No one yet knows the exact circumstances of his death.
Some ass hat nobody was screaming on NBC that he quote "had his brains bashed out", something that was not true. The NBC talking head just nodded and agreed with them.
He collapsed back at the station some time later.
Everyone should spread this far and wide. The whole thing was a lie and a setup.
4 unarmed Americans are dead from a peaceful protest. And officers allowed people into the Capitol, led by Antifa. Unfortunately, some protesters also took the bait but they casually strolled the capitol. It was not violent.
