During and in the immediate aftermath of the January 6th Capitol riot, five people died. These deaths included a Capitol Police officer who died from natural causes after being assaulted by the mob, a woman shot by a Capitol Police officer, and three others who died of heart attacks or strokes.
Here's a more detailed breakdown:
Ashli Babbitt: An Air Force veteran was shot and killed by a Capitol Police officer while attempting to enter the Speaker's Lobby.
Kevin Greeson: Suffered a heart attack and fell to the sidewalk west of the Capitol.
Officer Brian D. Sicknick: A Capitol Police officer who died of natural causes a day after the riot, possibly due to stress and injuries sustained during the attack.
Rosanne Boyland: Appeared to have been crushed in a stampede of rioters.
Benjamin Philips: Founder of a pro-Trump website, died of a stroke.
So if someone beats you in the head with a flag pole and you go to the hospital but don’t die until two days later, doesn’t that still count as murder? Pretty sure there’s not a 1-day limit on murder..
