Tragic loss for Usher and Tameka

Jul 23, 2012 | Sapa-AP | 15 comments

ATLANTA - The stepson of American R&B star Usher has died, two weeks after he was critically injured in a boating accident.

HEAVY BLOW: Usher

Eleven-year-old Kirk Glover was the son of Usher's ex-wife Tameka Foster.

The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported that Kirk died on Saturday morning at a local hospital.

The boy was run over on July 6 by a watercraft on Lake Lanier, according to the Georgia department of natural resources.

He had been hospitalised with a major brain injury.

Lake Lanier is about 64km northeast of Atlanta.

Before the accident, Usher, whose full name is Usher Raymond, had been in a legal battle with his ex-wife arising from a custody fight over their two sons.

Sad news indeed....
Maybe this will make the couple see that fighting over money is really not worth it.
They have now lost something far more important.

May his soul rest in peace.

Life is indeed unpredictable and a loss of a child is unbearable. Hope they both realise what is more important to them than fight over settlements.
