Reading back, best I can find is official Capitol Police statement said he died from “injuries sustained while on-duty,” “physically engaging” with protesters, so no specifics either way. But sure sounded like something physical as the proximate cause.
Gus Papathanasiou, the union chief, appears to be one who said he had a stroke (I think in an interview, vs official statement).

Edit: GA has investigated some of the ballot drops,.and they’ve been found nothing fraudulent. Even better, true the vote won’t provide evidence to GA it claims it has of voter fraud - even fighting a subpoena for the “data”!
Edit2:
Georgia election officials subpoena True the Vote over allegations
Was googling up True the Vote to see whatever happened to Georgia’s attempt to get the data to see what’s what… unsurprisingly, in court, True the Vote says they got nothin’. Looks to be a grift to part right wing conspiracy nuts with their money.
In the days and weeks leading up to January 6, the nation's highest-ranking military officer, then-Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff General Mark Milley, was moving in lockstep with the political anxieties of top Democratic leaders. These...
