Activist Erica Garner Fights For Her Life While In Medically-Induced Coma After Heart Attack

The 27-year-old became a vocal advocate against police brutality after the death of her father, Eric Garner, in 2014.

Erica Garner, daughter of Eric Garner, is holding on to dear life after suffering a heart attack over the holiday weekend.
