A medical examiner announced U.S. Capitol police officer Brian Sicknick died of a stroke the day after the riot at the Capitol building.
Two men accused of assaulting U.S. Capitol Police officer Brian Sicknick, who later died, conspired to attack law enforcement during the Jan. 6 riot and used pepper spray to do so, despite earlier reports that they had been using bear spray, prosecutors alleged during a Tuesday morning bond hearing.
George Tanios, 39, of Morgantown, West Virginia, and Julian Khater, 32, of Pennsylvania, appeared for a virtual hearing in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia, where they face charges of assault on a federal officer with a dangerous weapon and conspiracy to injure an officer, among others, according to court papers and officials.

Capitol Police Officer Brian Sicknick died of natural causes a day after defending the Capitol during the January 6 assault, the D.C. medical examiner’s office announced Monday. Sicknick was previously believed to have died from injuries sustained during the riot.
Sicknick died from strokes, the chief medical examiner’s office said in a report summary, citing “acute brainstem and cerebellar infarcts due to acute basilar artery thrombosis.” In an interview with The Washington Post, chief medical examiner Francisco J. Diaz said Sicknick suffered two strokes at the base of his brainstem caused by a clot in an artery.
