A US Capitol Police officer on duty during Wednesday's coup attempt by Trump supporters died by suicide on Saturday, his family has announced.
Howard Liebengood, a United States Capitol Police officer who responded to Wednesday's violent riots in Washington D.C., died by suicide, a family spokesman said Monday.
He was 51 years old.
Liebengood had been assigned to the Senate Division and joined the department in 2005.
Barry Pollack, a lawyer for Liebengood's family, told BuzzFeed News the officer had been at the Capitol during the insurrection.
"His death is a tragedy that has deprived all of us a dedicated public servant," Pollack said.
"His family has suffered a devastating loss and asks that they be given space to grieve in private."
According to CBS News, several Capitol Police officers have threatened self-harm in the days following the riot.
