The daughter of police chokehold victim Eric Garner is close to death but still showing her fighting spirit after a massive heart attack nearly a week ago, family members told the Daily News Thursday.
Relatives and friends rushed to Woodhull Hospital Thursday to visit Erica Garner, who became an outspoken critic of police brutality after her father’s death in 2013.
The 27-year-old firebrand remained in grave condition on life support Thursday, her mother Esaw Snipes said.
“She’s not gone, she’s brain dead,” Garner’s heartbroken mother explained early Thursday. “Physically she is still with us.”
Later in the day, Snipes said her family was clinging to “a glimpse of hope.”
"We just ask that y'all give her time to heal,” she said. “Keep praying for her."
Other visitors claimed Garner was showing a minimal amount of brain activity in her most recent scans.
