“Or is Eric Garner the only person in history to have been killed by a 14 second “chokehold”?
No one said he died from the Jimmy Superfly Snuka chokehold.
He died after the successful takedown. But the results weren’t WWE; they’re permanent.
Over selling a couple of loosies.
“The doctor who performed an autopsy on Eric Garner testified on Wednesday that a police officer choked him with enough force that it triggered a “lethal cascade” of events, ending in a fatal asthma attack.
The doctor, Floriana Persechino, said the officer’s chokehold and the compression of Mr. Garner’s chest during his arrest on Staten Island in 2014 “set into motion a lethal sequence.”
Though Mr. Garner had high blood pressure and chronic asthma, Dr. Persechino, a veteran city medical examiner, stood by her finding that his death was a homicide caused by the officer’s use of force. “The chokehold is a significant initial factor of the cascade,” she said.”
Yes, someone did say that.
