An official cause and manner of death has been released for Thomas Matthew Crooks, the individual who attempted to assassinate former President Trump. Crooks died of a gunshot wound to the head, with the Butler County Coroner's Office ruling his death as a homicide.
The 20-year-old fired five rounds at a Trump rally on July 13 in Butler County, ultimately nicking the former president in the ear before being 'neutralized' by authorities 26 seconds later. A post-mortem examination was conducted in Allegheny County, where Crooks resided in Bethel Park.
