Did a Rioter Taser Himself to Death? Viral Capitol Riot Post Explained

At least one part of the rumor is true: Kevin Greeson did die of a heart attack, according to a statement from his family to AL.com.

“Kevin had a history of high blood pressure, and in the midst of the excitement, suffered a heart attack,” the statement said. “Our family is devastated. We are thankful for all of the thoughts and prayers and appreciate privacy at this time as we grieve.”

The family also said that although Kevin was a Trump supporter who attended the rally outside the Capitol on Wendesday, he was “not there to participate in violence or rioting, nor did he condone such actions.”

However, Kevin also posted threatening messages on the conservative-skewing social media platform Parler in recent weeks, as an AL.comcomposite image shows. One of his messages read, “Maybe Nancy Pelosi will get it and die!” Another said, “Let’s give them a war. Democrats don’t have guns. We do. Bring your stick, I’m bringing my guns!”
