*For the past week or so, people have been wondering when going home services would be held for LA radio legend Cliff Winston. We now have the details.
But first, we’ve have grave news about Erica Garner.
Erica, the daughter of Eric Garner, whose death helped spark the #BlackLivesMatter movement after an NYPD officer choked him to death, is brain dead with no chance of recovery, according to reports.
Ms. Garner, 27, slipped into a coma after her brain was starved of oxygen following a heart attack on Saturday, just days before Christmas, the New York Daily News reported.
Garner’s mother revealed the extent of her condition Thursday.
“She’s not gone; she’s brain dead,” Esaw Snipes said. “Physically she is still with us.”
A person who identified themselves as a co-worker took over her Twitter account to keep the young activists 35,000 followers updated with new developments. On Wednesday, the co-worker announced Garner suffered severe brain damage.
“Cat scan shows Erica suffered major brain damage from a lack of oxygen while in cardiac arrest,” the tweet read.
News of her condition carried the tragic connection of her father’s death. Garner emerged as a fiery critic of the NYPD and police brutality after Police Officer Daniel Pantaleo killed her father in July 2014 using a chokehold—a technique the department had banned.
