The video is more for corroboration than anything, but fire extinguishers typically weigh like 30-35 pounds. That's about the weight of a cinder block, two average bowling balls, or 140 sticks of butter. Shit can do damage.
Aren’t riot helmets made to take that kind of force though? Like bricks and bottles and rocks and shit? Also it bounces off the helmet and hits a guy without a helmet who is still alive so once again, what?
I’m not ruling anything out but the whole event was sketchy af imo
I honestly don't have the knowledge to answer that, they definitely could be designed that way.
If the fire extinguisher story is true, I have a feeling this was probably a case of delayed traumatic intracranial hemorrhage. The back of the head is particularly vulnerable to this kind of injury, hence why rabbit punches and other strikes to the back of the head are banned in all fighting sports.

The way it bounced off the helmet says it was empty.

That thing definitely landed flush and entirely on one guy's head. Slow the video down.
