Usher's stepson gone after boat accident

The stepson of US pop star Usher has died two weeks after being critically injured in a boating accident.
Willie A Watkins funeral home in Atlanta, Georgia confirmed it was handling funeral arrangements for 11-year-old Kile Glover. Glover was a son of Usher's ex-wife Tameka Foster.
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports the boy died on Saturday morning at an Atlanta hospital.
The boy was run over on July 6 by a personal watercraft on Lake Lanier, according to the Georgia Department of Natural Resources. He had been hospitalised with a major brain injury.
Authorities are continuing to investigate the accident.
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 the two sons they had together.
Condolences flooded social media sites late Saturday, The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported. Singers Justin Bieber, Toni Braxton and Eric Benet were among those who sent tweets of condolences.
Usher, long one of the top-selling singers and songwriters, has won numerous Grammy awards.
He gained initial acclaim in the late '90s with albums such as My Way and went on to release the 10-million-plus selling 2004 album Confessions that firmly established him as a superstar, among several others including Raymond v Raymond in 2010.
