According to the search results, Jamie Raskins son, Tommy, died by suicide on December 31, 2020, after years of fighting mental illness. The funeral was held on January 5, 2021, and just a day after, on January 6, 2021, a violent mob stormed the U.S. Capitol building in an attempt to overturn the results of the presidential election. Jamie Raskin was at work in the Capitol with his daughter and son-in-law when the attack happened. In his new memoir, "Unthinkable," Raskin reflects on his continuing efforts to understand those two traumatic events.
