The District of Columbia’s chief medical examiner has released the causes and manners of death for four of the five people who died during the attack at the U.S. Capitol on January 6.
The office released the information on Wednesday afternoon. Dr. Francisco J. Diaz determined that two of the four people, Kevin Greeson and Benjamin Phillips, died of natural causes. Both men, who were in their 50s, were reported to have had hypertensive atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease.
Diaz also ruled that the manner of death of Ashli Babbitt was a homicide. The 35-year-old Air Force veteran from Southern California was shot by a law enforcement officer while entering the Speaker’s Lobby inside the Capitol.
Roseanne Boyland’s death was ruled an accident. The chief medical examiner’s report said the cause of death of the 34-year-old Georgia native was acute amphetamine intoxication.
The medical examiner’s office did not release the manner or cause of death of Capitol Police officer Brian Sicknick, who was the fifth person to die at the riot.
This is a developing story and will be updated with more information as it becomes available.
