After a jet skiing accident on July 6, 2012 that left the son of Usher’s ex-wife Takeka Foster Kile Glover in a coma for weeks, the desicsion was made this morning (July 21) to take the 11-year old off of life support, reports TMZ. A flood of support and condolences for the family overflowed on Twitter, those from fans, suporters, and celebrities alike; Eric Benet, Taraji P. Henson, and Russel Simmons among a few.
“I am sending out every prayer I got to Tameka, Ryan, Usher and their family” mogul Russell Simmons tweeted. “To lose a child…words can not explain” actor Taraji P Henderson tweeted. “I witnessed the emptiness in my aunt & uncle’s eyes @ my cousin’s funeral. Lord have mercy!”
The accident also injured a 15-year-old girl, who is reported to have suffered from a cut on the head and a broken arm, while Glover suffered the majority of the trauma to the head. The jet ski driver has been identified as a family friend. Police have determined no narcotics were involved and no charged have been filed.
It’s a heartbreaking story no parent ever wants to face: Kile Glover, the 11-year old son of Usher’s ex-wife Tameka Foster, has been taken off life support. Kile was injured in an accident on July 8th while jet skiing with his family at Georgia’s Lake Lanier and had been unresponsive for two weeks as doctors tried desperately to save him. This tragedy has left many hearts broken, including those of Usher and Tameka who have both expressed their deep sadness over the loss of their beloved child.
The incident occurred when Kile was riding an inner tube behind a boat driven by Jeffery Surnow, a family friend. A second jet ski piloted by another unidentified person collided with them, causing severe head trauma to the young boy. He then spent nearly two weeks hospitalized while medical professionals worked tirelessly trying to stabilize his condition, only to ultimately succumb.
This is truly a devastating time for both Usher and Tameka who are now struggling through this difficult period together despite being divorced since 2009 after having married in 2007. Their love and bond will forever be tied together due to their shared experience of loving and raising Kile during his short but meaningful life here on earth.
Tragic Accident
Tragic news has been reported that Kile Glover, the 11 year-old son of Tameka Foster, Usher’s ex-wife, was taken off life support on Saturday. It is believed he had suffered a severe brain injury after being involved in an accident while jet skiing with a family friend at Lake Lanier near Atlanta, Georgia.
The incident occurred two weeks ago when Kile and the female companion collided with each other. The girl sustained only minor injuries but unfortunately for Kile, his head hit her ski and caused him to be airlifted to Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta at Egleston Hospital where he would remain until his passing on July 21st .
It is truly heartbreaking as Kile was described by those close to him as “a loving child” who enjoyed playing sports such as basketball and baseball. His parents were said to have been devoted to their children and were known for always providing them with love and attention. Sadly due to this horrific accident the world lost a beautiful young soul far too soon.

The outpouring of love and support for the devastated couple has been immense as many celebrities took to Twitter to express their condolences such as Justin Bieber who wrote: “RIP lil man”, P Diddy who said ‘God Bless Ush and Tameka… we will stand by you’, and Rihanna who also offered words of comfort saying ‘My heart aches for Usher & Tameka right now’.
