Usher's 11-year-old stepson has died today.
Kyle Glover passed away this morning from the injuries he obtained in a tragic jet ski accident in Georgia earlier this month, according to TMZ.
The young boy was reportedly taken off life support by doctors, who determined that he would not recover from his injuries.
The website reports that Glover's mother and Usher's ex-wife Tameka Foster is said to have grappled with the difficult decision to disconnect the life support, and is said to be understandably 'devastated.'

Kyle was struck in the head during a jet ski collision while riding an inner tube on Lake Lanier in Atlanta, Georgia, earlier this month.
According to authorities, a family friend who was riding a jetski behind the pontoon lost control and collided with Glover's tube.
Kyle was with an unidentified 15-year-old girl at the time and both children were airlifted to Children's Healthcare of Atlanta at Egleston.
He was later declared brain dead.
A friend of the family, 38-year-old Jeffrey S. Hubbard, was allegedly operating the jet ski at the time of the collision.
Sergeant Mike Burgamy of the Georgia Department of Natural Resources said: 'A pontoon was pulling the two adolescents on an inner tube, and the personal water craft went over the top of them.'
