The officers were allegedly attacked by pro-Trump supporters.
RT reports: Officer Gunther Hashida was found dead in his home by suicide on July 29, the DC Metropolitan Police Department (MPD) told media outlets on Monday, adding “We are grieving as a Department as our thoughts and prayers are with Officer Hashida’s family and friends.” He died one week before his 44th birthday, according to his obituary.
The officer’s wife, Romelia, also spoke of his passing in a Facebook post on Sunday night.
US House Speaker Nancy Pelosi hailed Hashida as a “hero” who “risked his life to save our Capitol, the Congressional community and our very Democracy” in a written statement, adding “May Officer Hashida’s life be an inspiration to all.”
Just hours after the MPD confirmed Hashida’s death, the department told a local CBS affiliate that another officer, 26-year-old Kyle DeFreytag, had also taken his own life on July 10. The suicide was not reported until Monday.
“I am writing to share tragic news that Officer Kyle DeFreytag of the 5th District was found deceased last evening,” MPD chief Robert Contee wrote in a message to the department last month. “This is incredibly hard news for us all, and for those that knew him best.”
Hashida and DeFreytag, who joined the department in 2003 and 2016, respectively, are the third and fourth officers present for the incident on January 6 to die by their own hands. Capitol Police officer Howard Liebengood and MPD officer Jeffrey Smith also committed suicide in the days after the riot.
A fifth officer, Brian Sicknick, also died soon after the unrest. While media reports repeatedly suggested he succumbed to injuries inflicted by rioters, medical examiners later determined he died of natural causes following a pair of strokes.
Four others, all protesters, lost their lives during the riot, including two related to natural causes and one fatal drug overdose, while 35-year-old Ashli Babbitt was shot dead by police near the House chamber inside the Capitol.

Bull squat.
The Jeffrey Epstein syndrome eh?
witness protection?
This so reminds me of Steve Bing (millionaire Clinton donor who was, “depressed” and threw himself off his high rise, ex to Liz Hurley who the son said were involved in 3somes with Bill), the Frazzlegate video that was discovered on the Weiner laptop in the file, “Insurance” that Huma Abedin saved there along with every email HRC sent out as Sec. of State in the 20+ years they were “together” and how 10 of the 12 police officers who viewed it,
arkancidedsuicided themselves. Amazing coincidences, so many surrounding the Clintons too. Makes me wonder sometimes……..(sarcasm). I doubt they “killed” themselves. And Epstein is alive, he was seen on his island by drone and pictures online, Lin Wood even said it. That was a mossad rescue of one of their spies used to keep American politicians “sticking to the agenda” for a “certain country”. It’s so obvious.

The DC protester that ‘died of a drug overdose’… they have her on video of being beaten to death …she fell and was hit in the head by a DC cop several times while laying on the ground. And yes..im thinking those suicided cops might have been considered security risks on what the powers that be coordinated .
