Actor/Director John Singleton is said to be “hanging on” while in a medically induced coma at California’s Cedars-Sinai hospital.
John was running in Costa Rica back in early April when he had a pain in his leg. Fast forward a few days when he’s back in his LA home, April 17th, and the 51 year old suffered a massive stroke.
Since then word of his condition has been sketchy, but now it seems we know it was pretty bad.
According to a report by TMZ, Singleton is in a medically-induced coma and isn’t responding to treatment as of Monday morning.
Doctors said his condition is currently showing no signs of improvement.
‘We ask that privacy be given to him and our family at this time and appreciate all of the prayers that have been pouring in from his fans, friends and colleagues,’ a statement form Singleton’s family read.
There’s also been word of fighting in the family. Singletons mother is trying to gain control of all decisions made on his behalf (money grab) and his daughter is fighting that big time.
‘My grandmother’s intentions toward my father and his children are disturbing,’ Cleopatra said. ‘She cannot be [a] conservator of his person or his estate.’
