Stroke?

From that same CNN piece:
More than 100 other police officers were injured in the melee last month, including at least 15 who required hospitalization, according to court documents.

I haven't seen anything contradicting the testimony, have you?

I've only read that he wasn't killed by blunt force trauma. I've not seen any source contradicting the testimony that he was hit.

From the article I cited:
In the hours after Officer Sicknick was rushed to the hospital, officials initially said that he had been struck with a fire extinguisher. They later said that there was no evidence to support that he had died from any blunt force trauma. More recently, F.B.I. officials homed in on the potential role of an irritant as a primary factor in his death.

His mother says he wasn't hit on the head. But I don't know if the original testimony was specific as to where he was hit.

You should start hitting the bear spray aspect, jon. It's of greater rhetorical value, and probably closer to the truth.

She saw him Jon. You going to discount a Mom’s account??? Maybe it nearly grazed him?

Why? So some Trump apologist can indignantly demand an apology if they find out it was 'only' pepper spray?
Because it's closer to the truth.
Btw "demanding an apology" from you is a funny concept.

The CNN report was no blunt force trauma. Not just to the head, anywhere. Arms, chest, legs, no indication...

I suspect that at best he was grazed by a fire extinguisher. (How great does "fire extinguisher" sound? What a fantastic thing to be able to relate to really drive home the point about how violent the mob was.)

Probably was grazed with a selfie stick.

But what if it turns out to be pepper spray? Then I’ll have to deal with triumphant posters here celebrating the crowd’s vindication.

Actually, bear spray is weaker than pepper spray and is legal in every state for self-defense whereas pepper spray is illegal in many places thanks to it's much higher concentration of capsicum. You would prefer to get sprayed with bear spray over pepper spray every day of the week...
