You stated the man died Six days later!!? Wrong. He died the following day. However, you're correct about the lack of blunt force trauma. There's also evidence to suggest the medical examiner conclusion regarding death by natural causes he's been questioned. A stressful event can cause a stroke so the issue of the cause of death being "natural" has been called into question. "The medical examiner's release said Sicknick was sprayed with a chemical substance at about 2:20 pm. He collapsed at about 10 pm and was transported by D.C. Fire and Emergency Medical Services to a local hospital where he died the next evening around 9:30 pm." But also, "Sicknick had what the medical examiner called acute brainstem and cerebellar infarcts due to acute basilar artery thrombosis -- a specific type of blood clot in the brain. "Basil or artery occlusion is a specific type of stroke that happens in the posterior circulation. This is the blood flow that enters the brain and then in the backside of your head," said Dr. Robert Kowalski, a clinical instructor in neurology at the University of Colorado School of Medicine who does stroke research. This area of the brain is critical for cardiac function. It regulates heartbeat and breathing. "These are a terrible type of stroke because the mortality rate is close to 90% when it's not treated," Kowalski said. The medical examiner's declaration that the manner of death was "natural" after such events doesn't sit right with forensic pathologist Dr. Cyril Wecht. While Wecht has not examined the records directly, he said media accounts about the ruling puzzled him. He was "shocked, amazed -- hell, I don't know where the hell he's coming from," he said. The news release from the examiner's office said that the term "natural" is "used when a disease alone causes death. If death is hastened by an injury, the manner of death is not considered natural. "It's not a natural death because of the contributing factors that were quite significant in precipitating his death. They contributed in a real significant way," Wecht said. He said with a workers' compensation kind of case, for example, if someone experienced severe psychological stress that led to a compromise like a stroke, that would constitute a significant contributing factor. "That moves it out of the category of natural death," Wecht said. If he were to make a ruling, if there was a strong case against the people involved in causing that stress it "could well be a homicide." "If the circumstances are less definitive, then at the very least you will call it accidental. But no way do I agree this is a natural death," Wecht said. If the office wanted to "punt," he could at least have chosen "undetermined." "Natural does not seem like the right fit," Wecht said." https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.cnn.com/cnn/2021/04/20/health/sicknick-death-natural-strokes/index.html
