Erica Garner, the oldest daughter of Eric Garner and an activist against police brutality, was in a medically induced coma Monday after a heart attack, the New York Daily News reported. An asthma attack prompted the heart attack, Garner’s mother told the outlet. The 27-year-old mother of two remains on life support. “Right now, the family is just praying and asking for everyone to keep her in their prayers,” Esaw Snipes, her mother, told The New York Times. A message sent Christmas morning from Garner’s Twitter account said her family asks “that you take this holiday to enjoy your loved ones and for self care.”
