The report notes that Sicknick's cause of death is still not known, adding that the "findings from a medical examiner's review have not yet been released and authorities have not made any announcements about that ongoing process."
Investigators are reportedly looking into the possibility that Sicknick became violently ill after coming in contact with a chemical irritant such as pepper spray or bear spray. Medical examiners are also trying to determine if Sicknick possibly had a preexisting medical condition that negatively affected him during the Capitol riots on Jan. 6.
The report revealed that authorities are "struggling to build a federal murder case" in Sicknick's death because there is a "lack of evidence that could prove someone caused his death."
Law enforcement is said to have "reviewed video and photographs that show Sicknick engaging with rioters amid the siege but have yet to identify a moment in which he suffered his fatal injuries."
