    No, I do not. Hell, there's in the very least video of him recovering from the chemical attacks against him.

    Gee if I have a hard day of coding and wake up the next day with a stroke, do I get a medal? This dude died of natural causes completely unrelated to the riot. Exactly what is the medal for? For the all the political points the left were able to mine his death for? I wonder how many progressives even know how and why he died.

    You code bro?

    To say his stroke was "completely unrelated" seems perhaps a conclusion you, or I, are not qualified to make.

    You’re entitled to your opinion, however wrong it might be.

    but the other poster just said he had a blood clot in the neck, how could they miss that?

    They didn't "miss" it. The medical examiner found it, and correctly identified stroke as the cause of death.

    This seems to be the detail you are missing: The blood clot in his neck was not caused by an injury. You are apparently unaware that people can get blood clots from causes other than through injuries. Here, read this, as just one example: Atrial Fibrillation and Blood Clots: Symptoms, Risks, and Prevention (webmd.com)

    due to a blood clot breaking up and part of it entering his brain and getting stuck - that seems to be the detail you are missing

    What point do you imagine you're making? Wherever the blood clot formed, and whenever it happened, and whether it broke free and moved within Sicknick's body or was present in his neck right from the beginning (and we don't have a definitive answer to any of those things), what we do know is that the medical examiner examined his body in great detail and found no signs of either external or internal injuries, which is where your whole house of cards theory that the protesters killed him falls to pieces.

    Some people are so hard on their knees for Trump until they're stuck to the floor.

    blood clots in the neck do not cause brain strokes, blood clots breaking off and going to the brain cause strokes

    you keep saying that, but if he had a neck injury, then the doctor missed it

    not sure why you want to fight this so hard, what is the point?

    I like it when the left justifies taking the low road because they always say it's different when they do it.

    I'm not a doctor, but even I know you're wrong about that. Here's a term for you to Google: thrombotic stroke

    Here's a couple of pictures, in case that's too challenging:

    because the truth matters, and the truth is that Sicknick died of natural causes, not any internal or external injury caused by protesters.

    I am objectively correct, you are wrong. But yes you are entitled to your opinion.

    Why should you shake hands with someone you don't respect?

    When a caller said "let's go brandon" to Biden on a phone call during Christmas, I bet some of you on here cheered it even though you have the gall to talk about class.

    You aren’t in favour of those risk their lives in protecting others receiving recognition….?

    You must squirm in horror when soldiers, returning from the battlefield, are awarded medals and citations…

    Maybe you should think about the best way to mount a convincing argument…?

    You might want to buy a dictionary and look up the word “objectively”. It has a much different meaning than the way you use it.

    Nope…

    “Medical examiner Francisco J. Diaz explained to The Washington Post that Sicknick suffered two strokes that had been caused by a blood clot. He added that "all that transpired" on the day of the insurrection "played a role in his condition."
