FORT WORTH, Texas — Amber Carr, one of Atatiana Jefferson’s sisters, has been diagnosed with congestive heart failure, according to the Carr family’s attorney.
Amber Carr has had health issues for some time, and the 33-year-old attended many court hearings in the Aaron Dean case while in a wheel chair. On Wednesday, Lee Merritt, who represents Jefferson’s family in a civil suit against the City of Fort Worth, said in an Instagram post that doctors have given Amber Carr a “terminal prognosis.”
“This is the face of a woman that doctors just told only has a few days left to live,” reads the post, which shows a photo of Amber Carr in a hospital bed. However, the post says, “Amber has decided to keep living for her boys.”
