News 4's Myles Miller reports.
"Never even had a moment to defend himself or get away in any way," Sarquiz's sister, Christina, previously told NBC New York."Once he hit the ground, he was just beaten, kicked in the head senselessly until he was unconscious." Christina raced to the hospital to find her brother in a coma. On April 3, his family made the difficult decision to take him off the machine, and let him go.
