- ComputerGuru 5y agoSicknick died of a stroke the next day, apparently of natural causes. There are claims (originally presented by all media channels as foregone conclusions) that he was beat in the head with an extinguisher the day before, but the medical examiner’s report doesn’t corroborate that. https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/brian-sicknick-fire-extinguisher/ https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/brian-sicknick-fire-exting... Edit: used a hopefully unbiased source that includes criticism of both the right- and left-leaning media’s coverage.
