The New York Times retracted their Sicknick story because it was false. All current indications are that Sicknick died of a heart attack, perhaps the stress and anxiety he felt that day aggravated his pre-existing issues but calling that murder is an impossible stretch.

No, it is well within the established caselaw surrounding ‘homicide by heart attack’, where other factors (such as the felony murder rule) establish that if the death was homicide, it would be murder.
