Usher's Stepson Has Been Declared Brain Dead After Jet Ski Accident
Ugh! How tragic!
Usher's stepson, Kile Glover, has been declared brain dead after his horrific accident last Friday. The 11-year-old son of Tameka Foster was struck in the head by a passing jet ski while floating around on an inner tube in Georgia's Lake Lanier.
He's been in critical condition since he was first admitted to the hospital and we're so, so, SO sad to report that his health hasn't made any improvements. His brain hasn't displayed any activity during his stay.
We hear no decision has been made whether or not to take Kile off of life support and understandably so. Even though doctor's have made the unfathomable declaration that Kile will never be conscious again, we can't imagine any parent giving up hope so soon.
Tameka hasn't left the hospital since she arrived, while Usher got there on Saturday night and we're betting he has been by his ex's side since. The situation is grim, but we're waiting for a miracle along with everyone else!
Keep poor Kile in your thoughts and prayers! He and the rest of his family will be in ours!

Mila Kunis & Ashton Kutcher Pick Out Burial Plots!
There goes 20% of Tameka's income……Hair Extensions, Glittery Nails, and Hennessy shots are not cheap….
Okra are you serious? Fools like you should not comment at all, do you feel so proud to spread negativity and live in ignorance?
This made my heart drop, I really hope a miracle happens for this poor boy
He's definitely in my prayers.
Usher seems like a really good guy, I hope things get better for him
Where is Kyle's real dad?
Is this the most appropriate photo the site could find? Now, the family photo includes flashing signs? Can we be a little more respectful?
Re: Get better Kyle Glover – I'll pull the plug!
Kimbrella - This is a very sad tragedy. My hearrt goes out to the whole family. But this is the way they represented themselves in happier times. This was who they are and felt that this was appropriate for their children to act/pose. Money can't buy class so stop blaming others for peoples bad behavior…that is what is wrong with this country now. Blame others for your bad behavior.
Re: ViewFromHere – Knocking-Up other Ho's…
Who lets their kid play in a lake with alcoholic operated ski-jets all around?
I would say that there is a special place in hell for commenters like Okra Panfry, but I am afraid that will lower the property value! Anyone who feels anything less that compassion towards this child is a bastard of the worse caliber. Here's hoping that there is a miracle for young Kyle.
OMG I'm so sorry. That is absolutely tragic
unfortunately brain death is not a condition from which one recovers. It is death.
What a horrible horrible accident. Regardless of how anyone involved has been portrayed in the media this is about a young man that died in a horrific way.
How come no news on the person who hit the child?! Where the hell is the kids real father?! WTF is Usher goin to do?!
This should not be a post that people try and crack jokes on. Absolutely tragic! So sad to see someone so young hurt like that. I pray for him and his family.
Sending up so many prayers for Tameka and her family. God's hands are on you. HE CAN DO ALL THINGS.
I don't give a damn about Usher, but I do care any time a poor innocent kid is injured. In a way, it would have been less awful if he had just died right away. Imagine seeing your son breathing in front of you, but knowing that he was already dead.
Best wishes to the family and friends, this is so sorry to lost a child that young.
Unfortunatelly Brain Death is a condition that has no return, when you declare that a person is brain dead, leglly that person is dead because without brain stem you cannot live, I think its better to stop praying for his recovery, since its not a possibilityy, and better start praying for his family to accept this horrible situation, and to consider making him an organ donor that could save lives of other children like him. Things happen for a reason, maybe he's the angel god sent to help other kids, kids with heart failure, with liver failure, kids with end stage renal disease that have to be dialysed 3 or more times a week.
Technically, he isn't Usher's stepson anymore. He and his wife divorced in 2009. I'm sure they were still close but yeah, they aren't together anymore. Sad to say, the child probably won't recover.
this is tragic i had a cousin die from brain death and its very very sad im so sorry to hear of ur loss …xxx
Okra Panfry what a sick disturbed person you are.If I knew you personally I would punch you in your face numerous times.
Re: V – V, perhaps you feel that God can do all things. That's fine. Here's the problem: He DOESN'T do all things.
He doesn't bring back anyone who is dead. EVER. Brain death is death. This boy's brain death has been very well established, and at this point, she's had a week to come to grips with this. Perhaps she could help save the lives of up to 10 other people by having his organs donated.
But something tells me this woman doesn't want to be confused with the facts. This is tragic, absolutely. But his life is over, and it's not too late to make someone else's better.
