Regretfully has to report that following an accident on Lake Lanier in Atlanta, Georgia yesterday involving a jet ski, Tameka Foster’s 11 year old son, Kyle Glover, has been declared brain dead.
The ex-wife of R&B sensation Usher has been at her son’s side since she got news of the incident and there is no news on whether or not the family will take him off of life support.
According to reports Kyle has not experienced any brain activity since he was admitted to the hospital and doctors have officially announced him brain dead today.
Usher arrived at the hospital late last night to be at his stepson’s side after he chartered a jet for Tameka to fly in to be with her son following the accident as she was out of town.
Kyle was struck in the head by a passing Jet Ski while riding on an inner tube. The Jet Ski was driven by a 38 year-old man who is currently cooperating with the investigation. A 15-year-old girl was also injured but there are no updates on her state.
Please, send your prayers to Tameka, Usher and their loved ones at this very difficult time.
Our minds, hearts and prayers are with Kyle.
