Federal murder probe opened for Capitol Police officer Brian Sicknick who died following riots

The U.S. attorney's office in Washington has opened a federal murder investigation into the death of Capitol Police officer Brian Sicknick, who died Thursday night after suffering injuries in the violent siege on Capitol Hill, three law enforcement sources confirmed to ABC News.

The investigation is being conducted jointly between the FBI and the D.C. Metropolitan Police Department, with cooperation from U.S. Capitol Police.

Acting Attorney General Jeffrey Rosen said in a statement that the Department of Justice "will spare no resources in investigating and holding accountable those responsible."

So presumably some type of intracranial bleeding/swelling.

But I don't have a source on that, just something I recall seeing here or on reddit.
