The New York City Medical Examiner on Friday ruled that the death of Eric Garner was a homicide, caused by the aggressive tactics used by the New York Police Department, the Associated Press reported.
Medical examiner spokeswomenJulie Bolcer said Garner's death was caused "the compression of his chest and prone positioning during physical restraint by police."
Garner, who was a father of six, also suffered from asthma and heart disease which were contributing factors to his death, Bolcer said.
