Appearance
On January 9, 2021, one week after the riot, Capital Police officer and former race car driver Howard Liebengood died by suicide.[1][2] He is reported as being on duty when a mob breached the Capitol.[1][2] Former police chief Terrance Gainer described Liebengood’s death as a “line of duty casualty” in an interview because “it was no different than the death of fellow officer Brian Sicknick, who died Thursday night from injuries sustained while protecting the Capitol complex”.[1][2]
