It was ruled a HOMICIDE by the medical examiner. The medical examiner report states that the neck and chest compression as well as how Garner placed was on the sidewalk caused his death. The other health conditions were contributing factors.
Wait to see what happens with aFederal grand jury on a violation of his civil rights issues. This is far from over.
