Usher Stepson Brain Dead, Celebs Tweet Support and Prayers
Usher Raymond's 11-year-old stepson Kyle Glover has been declared brain dead just two days after he was struck in the head by a passing jet ski while riding on an inner tube in Lake Lanier, Ga.
Despite currently being embroiled in a bitter child custody battle with his former wife Tameka Foster, the "Climax" singer chartered her a private jet so that she could fly to be by her son's side shortly after the July 7 accident.
Glover, the son of Foster's ex-husband Ryan Glover, was quickly air-lifted to Children's Healthcare at Egelston Hospital in Atlanta and there has not been any decision as to whether to take him off life support, according to TMZ.com.
