Rep. Brecheen says an autopsy report shows a woman on Jan. 6 died of broken ribcage, not overdose

Congressman Josh Brecheen, R-Okla., said Tuesday that an autopsy shows that a Jan. 6 rally goer didn't die of a drug overdose, as originally reported, but a broken ribcage. 

On Monday, Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga., held a hearing titled "Unusually Cruel: A Continued Investigation Into the Treatment of J6 Political Prisoners."

"One of the other things that was so astounding, there was a woman, Roseanne Boyland, who [was] brought up in this hearing," Brecheen said on the "Just the News, No Noise" TV show. "She was beaten by Metro Police."

He explained that the autopsy of her death was kept from her family. 

"The family was given the narrative by the media that this was because of a drug overdose, and yet the autopsy was kept from the family by the District of Columbia's decision making," Brecheen said. "Yet, months after that reporting occurred, the autopsy comes out and says that the death of this woman was the result of a broken ribcage."

He said that Boyland also had gas in her lungs. 

"What Marjorie is doing [and] what we are trying to highlight is Congress, by the Constitution, has the authority to make sure there's good governance happening here," Brecheen said. "The incidents I just recited ... show the absence of that."
