TMZ reports that Usher's five-year-old son Usher Raymond V is currently being treated in the ICU at an Atlanta hospital. Apparently, the young boy almost drowned in a freak swimming pool incident at the singer's home on Monday evening (August 5).
Sources tell TMZ that Usher was not home when the poolside accident occurred at around 6 p.m. Apparently, little Usher was playing in the pool with his aunt and noticed that a toy had sunk down by the drain. He jumped in to retrieve it, and got his arm stuck in the drain. His aunt immediately dove in the water to rescue him, but couldn't get his hand out. The maid realized that something was wrong and also tried to help, but to no avail. The maid quickly screamed for help and two men working in the house promptly stepped into action. They eventually freed the singer's son and gave him CPR. Usher Raymond was then rushed to the hospital - his father arrived just in time to drive in the ambulance with him.
Doctors have been running a series of tests and say he'll be okay. Usher Raymond V is the oldest of Usher's two sons with ex-wife Tameka Raymond. Both parents remain at the hospital.
Just last year, Tameka's 11-year-old son (Usher's former stepson) Kile Glover passed away due to injuries sustained during a jet ski accident.
