Things went from bad to
worse for Kyle Glover, Usher's
11-year old stepson. After a
tragic jet ski accident left the
youngster in critical condition
on Friday, doctors have now
declared him brain dead.
TMZ is reporting that Glover,
who is the son of Usher's ex-
wife, Tameka Foster, has not
experienced any brain activity
since he was admitted into the
hospital two days ago.
According to reports, the pre-
teen and a friend were floating
in inner tubes on Lake Lanier
in Atlanta when they were
struck by a man on a jet ski.
Glover was unresponsive
when he was taken out of the
water and airlifted to
Children's Healthcare of Atlanta
at Egleston; his friend, an
unidentified 15-year old girl,
was treated for a cut on the
head and a broken arm.
According to the Atlanta
Journal-Constitution, the
Georgia Department of Natural
Resources said that alcohol
doesn't appear to be a factor
in the accident and the
newspaper also reported that
the man on the jet ski and
Glover were a part of the same
group on an outing at the lake.
Foster and Usher (born Usher
Raymond) were married in
2007 but divorced in 2009.
The two are reportedly both
present at the hospital.
Many of Usher and Foster's
celebrity friends took to
Twitter on Sunday (July 8) to
express their deepest
sympathies.
"My deepest prayers go out to
Tameka, Usher and both of
their families right now," Diggy
Simmons wrote.
"Wishing @TamekaRaymond's
son godspeed recovery.
horrible news to hear," Roots
drummer Questlove added,
while television personality La
La Anthony wrote: "Praying for
@TamekaRaymond and her
family. Asking to give her and
her family strength during this
difficult time. Praying for u
Kyle."
This tragedy comes a month
after Usher released his latest
#1 album, Looking 4 Myself.
