Usher's stepson declared brain dead - report
R&B star Usher's 11-year-old stepson has been declared brain dead by doctors following a jet-ski accident on Saturday (07Jul12).
Kyle Glover, the son of the singer's estranged wife Tameka Foster, was sitting on an inflatable raft which collided with the watercraft on Lake Lanier in Atlanta, Georgia.
He suffered head injuries and was taken to hospital in a critical
condition. Glover has shown no brain activity since the accident,
according to TMZ.com.
As WENN went to press a decision had not been made on whether to
take Glover off life support.
Usher reportedly chartered a private jet for Foster, who was out of
town at the time of the accident, so she could race to her son's
bedside.
Meanwhile, officials in Georgia have launched an investigation into
the jet ski accident.
Robin Hill, a representative for Department of Natural Resources,
tells TMZ.com the department's Critical Incident Response Team will
recreate the accident using special computer programs to determine
how fast the jet-skier was traveling at the time of the
accident.
The findings will be turned over to the district attorney, who will
determine whether or not to file charges.
