The family of a Capitol rioter said that he died of a broken heart last week and blamed the justice system for ending his life.

Matthew Perna died on February 25, according to an obituary written by his family.

The obituary did not include an official cause of death for Perna, but his family wrote that he was killed by the justice system and his community.

In the obituary, Perna's family said he was at the January 6, 2021, Capitol riot in Washington DC.

According to his family, he stood up for his country.

His family wrote in the obituary that he did not break in or steal anything. He stayed within the velvet ropes and took pictures.

According to a statement of facts from the FBI, Perna told investigators that he walked into the Capitol on January 6, 2021.

Daily Motion obtained a video of the riot that shows Perna wearing a hoodie and holding up a cellphone inside the Capitol, and taking photos or videos of the scene.

Perna claimed that he was inside the Capitol building for less than 10 minutes.

The FBI said in a statement of facts that investigators later found posts on Perna's account showing support for former President Donald Trump.

Perna was charged with obstruction of an official proceeding and aiding and abetting, entering and remaining in a restricted building or grounds, disorderly and disruptive conduct in a restricted building or grounds, and disorderly conduct in a Capitol building.

The Justice Department said he pleaded guilty to all counts. He hadn't been sentenced yet.

Perna's family said that he was "persecuted by many members of his community, friends, relatives, and people who had never met him" because of his participation in the riot.

Many people were quietly supportive, and Matt was truly grateful for them. Matt's heart broke and his spirit died because of this.

His family said that Matt did not have a bad bone in his body.
