To Care
-
The NYT (unless they shadow edited their article) implies that the fire extinguisher blow contributed to his death, but doesn't go so far as to assert it.
Then on Wednesday, pro-Trump rioters attacked that citadel of democracy, overpowered Mr. Sicknick, 42, and struck him in the head with a fire extinguisher, according to two law enforcement officials. With a bloody gash in his head, Mr. Sicknick was rushed to the hospital and placed on life support. He died on Thursday evening.
I did also hear that he was bludgeoned to death (from here probably, not reading it from a news article.)
Does the distinction matter that much though? Is it in dispute he was hit by a fire extinguisher? (I don't know).
Is it reasonable to assume he died from injuries sustained during this mob action? Does the fire extinguisher being the medical cause of death matter much? The mob did something to him, unless this was some sort of crazy coincidence.
There's plenty to criticize about NYT, but this seems pretty minor.

Actually, it's pretty major.
Getting the facts wrong on a murder is not good for the legal process. Or the political one.
