Three people died yesterday in “medical emergencies” related to the insurgency. Who are the people, what are the medical emergencies, how are they related to the insurgency, and why don’t we know.
OK got it: Benjamin Phillips, 50, Roseanne Boyland, 34, and Kevin Greeson, 55.
Greeson, who seems to be a longtime advocate of seditious violence, is said to have had a heart attack in the excitement of the day.

Boyland was from Kennesaw, Georgia, an avid consumer of conspiracy theories and superfan of Kelly Loeffler. She seems to have died in the crush.
Philips ran a pro-Trump website that sold animal toys that look like Trump. He had been excited to travel to the attempted coup from Pennsylvania but had a stroke before the bus for DC even left. He died in the hospital.
Here’s a good wrap-up. These deaths seem arguably to be diseases of despair.
A relative of the woman who was crushed says he believes Trump killed four of his supporters in the insurrection he incited and should be removed from office. https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/clarissajanlim/police-three-dead-medical-emergency-capitol-riots
