Excerpt:

Doctors have listed the daughter of police chokehold victim Eric Garner as brain dead with no chance of recovery — five days after the mother of two suffered a massive heart attack, the Daily News has learned.

Family members were being called early Thursday to Woodhull Hospital to say final goodbyes to Erica Garner, who became an outspoken critic of police brutality after her father’s death in 2014.

The 27-year-old firebrand remained on life support Thursday morning, her mother Esaw Snipes said.

1. What a tragedy!

Of all the cases of police brutality in recent years, Garner and Philando are the cases that touched me the most. I feel very sad about this young warrior's passing, but her legacy needs to live on. 😞

11. Farewell, Erica Garner

#EricaGarner died this morning after suffering a major heart attack several days ago. The 27 year old became a vocal advocate against #police brutality after her father #EricGarner died after he was put in a chokehold by a #NYPD officer. More this morning @NY1

12. We sometimes forget how deadly asthma can be

This was all set off by an asthma attack.

The saddest death I ever saw was a 15-year-old girl on vacation with her parents in Hawaii. She had an asthma attack and was rushed into the E.R. I'll never forget the sound of her sobbing father in the waiting room.

13. How tragic. She was so young and had so much to live for.

My condolences to her family and friends. RIP Erica, your voice will not be silenced.

14. Heartbreaking. I recently read "I Can't Breathe"

by Matt Taibbi (yes, despite the recent controversy about his past writing). It was an amazing book and much of the narrative centered around Erica, her relationship with her dad, and the amazing activist she became in the wake of his murder.

I'm a little choked up about this, actually. Taibbi is a great storyteller and I feel like I got to know her somehow.
