#BlackLivesMatter: Social justice activist & Eric Garner's daughter, Erica Garner dies this a.m aged 27

Activist Erica Garner has died, after suffering brain damage following a heart attack.
She was 27 years old. Her official Twitter account announced her death Saturday morning. She entered the public eye in July 2014 when her father, Eric Garner, died after being put in a chokehold by a New York City police officer. Eric Garner was seen on video saying, "I can't breathe" 11 times before he died.
 Erica Garner had been in a coma since Dec. 23, when she had an asthma attack that triggered a heart attack, according to the New York Daily News. "When her son was born in August, she named her newborn after her father," the newspaper reports. "Garner suffered her first heart attack shortly after the delivery, with doctors saying the pregnancy stressed her already enlarged heart."
May God rest her beautiful soul.... really very sad!
