But it was too late for Browder, who hung himself with an air-condition chord, reportedly telling his mother, Ma, I cant take it anymore, the night before his suicide. Now, the New York Daily News reports that his 63-year-old mother has literally died of a broken heart. Browder suffered a fatal heart attack, and the familys lawyer told the Daily News shed died from stress.
She was a woman of incredible grace and compassion who tirelessly fought for justice for her son Kalief and who championed the civil rights of others in our city, the lawyer, Paul Prestia, told the Daily News. But the stress from this crusade coupled with the strain of the pending lawsuits against the city and the pain from the death were too much to for her to bear. In my opinion she literally died of a broken heart.
