Usher's stepson dies

Atlanta - The stepson of hip-hop artist Usher has died, two weeks after he was critically injured in a boating accident.

Willie A Watkins funeral home in Atlanta confirmed on Saturday it is handling funeral arrangements for 11-year-old Kile Glover. He was the son of Usher's ex-wife Tameka Foster.

The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports that Kile died on Saturday morning at a hospital.

The boy was run over on 6 July by a personal 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 north-east 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.
