Christopher Stanton Georgia, a man from the state of Georgia who was recently arrested for participating in last Wednesday's insurrection at the U.S. Capitol, died on Saturday by suicide after a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the chest.

Georgia had been charged with "entering certain property, that is, the United States Capitol Grounds, against the will of the United States Capitol Police" past the set Washington D.C. curfew of 6 p.m. local time. He was arrested with three other men in his group.

Georgia was just one of 70 of the arrestees who have been charged for their role in last Wednesday's riot when supporters of Donald Trump raided the Capitol to overturn the results of the November 2020 presidential election. Acting U.S. Attorney Michael Sherwin has promised "hundreds" more arrests are forthcoming.
