Doctors have since removed Glover from life support after concluding that his injuries were too severe to recover from, TMZ reports.
Glover's mother Tameka Foster is said to have "struggled tremendously" with the decision and is "understandably devastated".
It was previously reported that Foster couldn't afford her son's hospital bills and would therefore have to remove her son from life support when her insurance company stops paying for his care.
A family friend is thought to have lost control of his jet ski and collided with Glover on Lake Lanier. The accident is currently under investigation.
This is so sad that must've been a heart wrenching decision for his mother to have to turn off his life support machine, but he had been declared braindead. But if there wasn't a very good chance of him surviving then maybe it's better for him to rest in peace. My condelences go out to his family!

Doesnt matter how much money you have, when your brain dead it means your dead, absolutly devistating when your child dies, i cant imagine what his mother is feeling right now, life without your own child is not worth living.

Couldn't afford hospital bills but Usher is a multi-millionaire? Confused.
