The daughter of Black Lives Matter icon Eric Garner has died after a weeklong hospital stay following a heart attack.
The Rev. Al Sharpton, in announcing Garners death Saturday, says she fought for justice and was a warrior to the end. She died in a New York hospital. She was 27.
Garners official Twitter account, run by her family and friends since she became ill, asked that she be remembered as a mother, daughter, sister and aunt with a heart bigger than the world.

27 and a heart attack?!
She must have been a big girl...
Did another cop prevented her from breathing?
“Erica Garner became a voice against police brutality after his death.”
Maybe she should have become an advocate for weight loss instead. Harsh, but not as harsh as dying at 27!
Or maybe a cigarette chain smoker.
Black lives matter is a farce, built upon the hands up, don’t shoot lie.
or other substance abuse.
That’s a shame.
But she is with her dad now.
R.I.P.
remembered as a mother, daughter, sister and aunt

Wife?
She had asthma real bad and that contributed according to what I read previously. So sad.
What do you call the daughter of an “Icon?”
Sounds like heart problems ran in her family.
Smoking “looseys”...
""People are dying. This is real. We need a president that will talk about it," Erica Garner says in the ad. "I believe Bernie Sanders is a protester. He's not scared to go up against the criminal justice system. He is not scared." - NY Daily News
" Asthma, heart disease, and obesity were cited as contributing factors...In an interview with CNN, Garner's daughter Erica felt that it was pride and not racism that led to the officer choking her father. She continued: "It was about the officer's pride. It was about my father being 6'4" and 350 pounds and he wants to be the top cop that brings a man down." - Wiki
Her Twitter timeline showed she was enthralled with the late Black Panther, Fred Hampton and the current dregs from BLM. What she called activism, I call urban communism.
RIP.
Her father also died of a heart attack. It may have as much or more to do with genetics as heart disease often has a genetic component.
Maybe genetic or substance issues.
