Usher Raymond's 11-year-old stepson Kyle Glover has been declared brain dead following a tragic jet-ski accident in Georgia on Friday afternoon.

Kyle, the son of the R&B singer's estranged Tameka Foster, and a 15-year-old girl were sitting on an inner tube, which was being pulled by a boat on Lake Lanier, when they were struck in the head by a jet ski being driven by a 38-year-old man.

Glover has apparently not experienced any brain activity since the accident, and has been unresponsive since he was pulled from the water.

Kyle and the girl were air-lifted to Children’s Healthcare at Egleston Hospital in Atlanta, with the boy's injuries being more serious, the Atlanta Journal Constitution reported.

Alcohol has been ruled out as a factor, according to the Georgia Department of Natural Resources who is tasked with investigating the accident. 

According to TMZ, Usher chartered a plane yesterday so that Foster, who had been out of town, could return to Atlanta and be at her son's bedside. The R&B star also arrived at the hospital last night, TMZ reports.

As per TMZ, the family has not yet decided whether to take Glover off of life support.
