Stroke?
-
If it was a stroke the literature suggests 10 risk factors of which stress is only one. So one would assume extreme stress triggered the stroke but do we know if a stroke at some near term point was likely to happen if the 9 other risk factors weren’t actively mitigated?

Crawling out on a medical limb...the hormone dump of extreme stress most likely causes tachycardia and high blood pressure, causing extra pressure to be put on an arterial wall in the brain?

No question that a hypertensive crisis can cause a hemorrhagic stroke. But usually that's in older patients. I have no idea what Officer Sicknick's medical history is, but what you mention is possible. On a scale of likely (1-10), I'd give it about a 2, unless he popped a berry aneurysm.
But, it's all speculation without the autopsy, right?

So. Has anybody retracted their “beaten to death with a fire extinguisher” statements yet?

No.

I can provide links if anybody needs. Then they can make any retractions they feel is appropriate.

Don't hold your breath.

I’m not sure ‘the blow from the fire hydrant wasn’t what actually killed him’ is quite as exculpatory as some of you seem to think.

Who’s we? TNCR or investigators? As for the former I think all we know is that it was described by witnesses.

I'd say no blunt force trauma is pretty fucking exculpatory.

Investigators have determined any fire extinguisher episode is not relevant to his death . They said it is not true.
Now they are looking at bear spray. I heard it might not even be him who was hit.
How’s that for corroborated reporting at the time?
