Usher’s five-year old son, Usher Raymond V is said to be in Intensive Care Unit [ICU] at an Atlanta hospital following a scary pool accident yesterday [Aug 5th].
According to TMZ [who first leaked the story] baby usher was playing in the pool with his aunt when he spotted a toy. He proceeded to retrieve the toy [near the drain of pool] but his arm got stuck below, and he was unable to free himself.
The aunt nor the nanny was unable to free baby Usher, but thanks to two men [who worked in the home], baby Usher was rescued in the nick of time, given CPR, and was carried off to a nearby hospital by ambulance.
Usher was reportedly by his son’s bedside in the ambulance en-route to the hospital and both Tameka [ex-wife/mother of child] and Usher are said to be at the hospital with their child.
Sidebar: Freak accidents do occur but most of the time -the results are fatal. Furthermore, pool accidents is one of the leading causes of death in children. Last year Tameka lost her 11-year-old stepson, Kile Glover in a freak accident [at a lake in Atlanta Georgia]
I’m sure both Usher and Tameka are ‘shakened up‘ by this. Doctors have noted that baby Usher is in stable condition and they are holding him in the hospital to run further tests.
