Columbia District police have identified the three people who had medical emergencies and died during the raid on the Federal Capitol.
The people are Kevin Greeson, 55, of Athens, Alabama; Rosanne Boyland, 34, of Kennesaw, Georgia, and Benjamin Phillips, 50, of Ringtown, Pennsylvania.
Police Chief Robert Contee did not give details on the exact causes of the deaths of these people and did not say if any were directly involved in Wednesday’s raid on the Capitol.
Contee noted that all three “were on Capitol grounds when they experienced their medical emergencies.”
Greeson’s family said he suffered a heart attack. The family described Gresson as a supporter of President Donald Trump but denied he was a supporter of the violence.
Capitol police said a fourth person, identified as Ashli Babbitt, was shot by an element of Capitol police as the crowd headed to the House of Representatives. Babbitt died in a hospital.
The siege of the Capitol by Trump supporters occurred when Congress was certifying the victory of President-elect Joe Biden.
