Manhattan: To help set a sad record straight about deaths and injuries suffered by five police officers in connection with Jan. 6: One Capitol Police officer, Brian Sicknick, died of multiple strokes that occurred hours after his confrontation with the protesters. Coincidence? The medical examiner didn't think so, noting, "All that transpired played a role in his condition." Officer Jeffrey Smith of the Metropolitan Police Department, a mentally stable person who received a blow to his head during the riot, began exhibiting symptoms he never showed before and died by suicide nine days later. Another officer, Howard S. Liebengood of the Capitol Police, also died by suicide just three days after the attack.
Staten Island: Reading your article "EMTs chase down car as it rolled away carrying wounded gun victims" (May 24) reminded me of an old TV show's closing lines, "There are 8 million stories in the naked city. This has been one of them." Thank you for highlighting the uplifting work of these two FDNY Emergency Medical Services heroes. They are members of N.Y.'s Best, NYC's smallest first responder service performing an outsized role.
