A Senate report on the events at the U.S. Capitol on Jan.6 in which protesters broke into the building and then vandalized some parts of it blames the deaths of three police officers on the day’s mayhem. Even though one of the officers died of natural causes and the other two committed suicide. The Washington Examiner reported on the newly released bipartisan assessment that „contends“ that a total of seven people „lost their lives“ as a result of the siege. Three other members of the public died of natural health issues during the day’s events, and one woman, unarmed, was shot and killed by a police officer whose name has been concealed by federal authorities. The investigation also concluded there were security breakdowns in all components of the protection assembled for the Capitol: the police, intelligence agencies and the National Guard. Regarding the deaths, the 99-page „Examining the U.S. Capitol Attack: A Review of the Security, Planning, and Response Failures on January 6,“ said Capitol Police officer Brian Sicknick,42, died after he was attacked with bear spray. However, the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner, led by Francisco Diaz, told the Washington Examiner in April that Sicknick died of „acute brainstem and cerebellar infarcts due to acute basilar artery thrombosis“ (a stroke), and the “manner of death” was „natural.“ Then Metropolitan Police officer Jeffrey Smith and Capitol Police officer Howard Liebengood both committed suicide.
