Eric Garner's death ruled a homicide by medical examiner

[hrmjustin]

TOTTENVILLE (WABC) -- The New York Medical Examiner has ruled Eric Garner died as a result of compression of neck, compression of chest and prone positioning during physical restraint by police.

The cause of death has been ruled a homicide.

Contributing factors include acute and chronic bronchial asthma, obesity, and hypertensive cardiovascular disease, the medical examiner said.

Garner's videotaped confrontation with police has caused widespread outcry, and Attorney General Eric Holder has said the Justice Department is "closely monitoring" the investigation into his death.
