Usher’s Stepson Declared Brain Dead After Being Hit By Jet Ski

Usher's in the headlines again, but this time not for his messy divorce with Tameka Foster. He's actually helping Foster, whose 11-year-old son Kyle (called Kile by some reports) was in an accident on Atlanta's Lake Lanier at about 3:25 p.m. ET Friday that left him brain dead.


Usher's stepson was one of two kids sitting in an inner tube being pulled by a boat that were hit by family friend Jeffrey S. Hubbard, 38, on a Jet Ski, according to MTV News.

After being struck in the head and knocked unconscious, Glover was pulled from the water by a bystander. Both victims were flown to Children's Healthcare of Atlanta at Egleston, where, according to TMZ, the boy did not have any brain activity when he arrived at the hospital and is still on life support.

Brain death, USA Today reports, occurs when all brain activity has stopped permanently, the person is in a coma, and the person is no longer breathing.

The girl's injuries are "serious." Alcohol was not a factor in the accident, officials say, and they plan to recreate the accident to learn more.
