Three People, Including A Man Who Had A Heart Attack, Died Following Medical Emergencies At The Capi [View all]
They didn't have to die...
One of the people who died on Capitol grounds was Kevin Greeson. His wife told me he wanted to support Trump, wasn't there to participate in the violence & didn't condone it. His posts online show he has advocated for violence against Democrats in the past
Kevin Greeson, 50, of Alabama, who has advocated for violence online, had a history of high blood pressure and had a heart attack "in the midst of the excitement," his wife told BuzzFeed News.
Police have identified three people who died Wednesday on Capitol grounds, where a mob incited by President Trump stormed the building and attempted a coup, as Benjamin Phillips, 50, Roseanne Boyland, 34, and Kevin Greeson, 55.
All three died of medical emergencies, Metropolitan Police Chief Robert Contee said. The police did not specify what those medical emergencies were, but Greeson, who was from Athens, Alabama and had traveled to DC, to take part in what became an insurrection, died of a heart attack, his wife Kristi Greeson told BuzzFeed News.
"He was not there to participate in violence or rioting, nor did he condone such actions," she said. "Kevin had a history of high blood pressure, and in the midst of the excitement, suffered a heart attack."
On a pro-Trump social media website Parler, Greeson praised the Proud Boys and insulted high-ranking Democratic leaders, including President-elect Joe Biden, Vice President–elect Kamala Harris, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, and Stacey Abrams.
He also posted profanity-laden comments about Republican lawmakers who he claimed did not support Trump and advocated for violence against “communist motherfuckers.”
Greeson also supported Trump's baseless and disproven claims that a nationwide voter fraud conspiracy cost him the election, and he advocated for using firearms to "defend our country."
In one Parler post in mid-November, Greeson wrote, "All males over the age of 18 join a group.. be ready to defend our country!! Spend your money on guns and ammo... It’s time to stop this shit!!!!!"
