Usher's 5-year old son is currently in an Atlanta hospital's Intensive Care Unit after nearly drowning in the family pool on Monday (August 5). According to TMZ, Usher Raymond V was in the pool with his aunt when he got stuck in the drain while trying to retrieve a toy.
Both the aunt and a maid were unable to free his hand from the drain. Two audio-visual contractors working in the house heard the maid screaming. Both dove in and freed the child. One of them administered CPR on the boy and was able to revive him.
The child was taken to the hospital, where he is reported to be "conscious, alert and breathing." Usher was not at home at the time of the accident.
Raymond V is the youngest of Usher's two children with ex-wife Tameka Raymond. The singer was granted full custody of them in August 2012, following a bitter divorce.
Tameka Raymond
Yesterday's accident comes just a year after Usher's stepson, 11-year-old Kile Glover, died after being struck in the head by a Jet Ski while in an inner tube on Lake Lanier in Georgia.
Both Usher and Tameka are at the hospital with Raymond V. Doctors expect him to make a full recovery.

The weight of constantly having to deal with the fallout of his domestic violence case has become to much for Chris Brown to deal with.
Brown was convicted in August 2009 of assaulting then girlfriend Rihanna in February of that same year. He was sentenced to five years probation and community service. Since that point he's been constantly reminded by the media and fans of his mistake.
Today, Chris announced via Twitter that he will probably retire from music at the age of 24, when his sixth studio album is released.
"Being famous is amazing when it's for ur music and talent," Chris wrote. "I'm tired of being famous for a mistake I made when i was 18. I'm cool & over it!"
Do you think Chris will walk away from the game?

PARIS – A staggering $53 million worth of diamonds and other jewels were stolen Sunday from the Carlton Intercontinental Hotel in Cannes, in one of Europe's biggest jewelry heists recent years, police said.
The Carlton Intercontinental Hotel in Cannes, where $53 million in jewelry was stolen on Sunday.
The hotel in the sweltering French Riviera was hosting a temporary jewelry exhibit over the summer from the prestigious Leviev diamond house, which is owned by Israeli billionaire Lev Leviev.
A police spokesman said the theft took place around noon, but he could not confirm local media reports that the robber was a single gunman who stuffed a suitcase with the gems before making a swift exit. The spokesman spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to discuss the matter on the record.
Several police officers were placed in front of the Carlton exhibition room to prevent journalists and photographers gathered at the scene from entering.
The luxury Carlton hotel is situated on the exclusive Promenade de la Croisette that stretches a mile and a half along the French Riviera, and is thronged by the rich and famous throughout the year. The hotel's position provides not only a beautiful view of the sea, but an easy get away for potential jewel thieves along the long stretch of road.
The valuable gems were supposed to be on public display until the end of August. It was not immediately clear how many pieces were stolen.
Hotel officials would not comment, and attempts to reach Leviev or his company were not immediately successful.
Several brazen jewelry thefts have taken place this year, including one in Belgium on Feb. 18 that involved some $50 million worth of diamonds.
In that heist, the stones from the global diamond center of Antwerp had been loaded on a plane headed to Zurich when robbers dressed in dark police clothing and hoods drove through a hole they'd cut in the Brussels Airport fence in two black cars with blue police lights flashing. They drove onto the tarmac, approached the plane, brandished machine guns, offloaded the diamonds, then left in an operation that took barely five minutes.
Authorities have since detained dozens of people and recovered much of the stolen treasure in that operation.
In May, Cannes was struck by two highly publicized jewelry heists during the Cannes Film Festival.
In the first theft, robbers stole about $1 million worth of jewels after ripping a safe from the wall of a hotel room. The jewelry was taken from the Novotel room of an employee of Chopard, the Swiss-based watch and jewelry maker that has loaned bling to A-list stars walking the red carpet at the film festival.
And in the second, thieves outsmarted 80 security guards in an exclusive hotel and made off with a De Grisogono necklace that creators say is worth 2 million euros ($2.6 million.)
Jewel thieves have been getting attention in Europe in more ways than one.
On Thursday, a member of the notorious "Pink Panther" jewel thief gang escaped from a Swiss prison after accomplices rammed a gate and overpowered guards with bursts from their AK-47s, police said.
Milan Poparic fled with fellow inmate Adrian Albrecht from the Orbe prison in the western state of Vaud.
Police say the Pink Panthers network's members are prime suspects in a series of daring thefts. According to Interpol, the group has targeted luxury watch and jewelry stores in Europe, the Middle East, Asia and the United States, netting more than (euro) 330 million (
285m) since 1999.
Poparic is the third member of the Pink Panthers to escape from a Swiss prison in as many months, according to Vaud police.
**UPDATE** August 6th
Lloyds of London announced today that a reward of $1 million is being offered by one of their affiliates for information leading to the $136 million worth of jewels stolen from Carlton Intercontinental Hotel in Cannes last month.
The amount stolen was initially estimated to be $53 million.
According to the Associated Press, a single gunman walked into the exhibit where the jewels were being showcased, threatened several unarmed guards, then vanished down a side street with his massive haul. The theft is one of the largest in history.
Below are several photos of items stolen from the exhibit.

Alex Rodriguez, Major League Baseball's highest-paid player, was suspended for the remainder of the current season and all of next year for using performance-enhancing drugs, the harshest of some 13 penalties doled out by the league Monday.
The suspension of the New York Yankees third-baseman was expected, and is subject to an appeal - which Rodriguez said he plans to pursue. Under the league's collective bargaining agreement, Rodriguez, who has missed the entire season battling injuries and is just now ready to come off the disabled list, can play while appealing the suspension, which is effective Aug. 8.
"I am disappointed with the penalty and intend to appeal and fight this through the process," Rodriguez said in a statement. "I am eager to get back on the field and be with my teammates in Chicago tonight. I want to thank my family, friends and fans who have stood by my side through all this."
Yankees Manager Joe Girardi signaled that he plans to put the 38-year-old slugger in the lineup for Monday night's game against the Chicago White Sox.
"He's in there, and I'm going to play him," Girardi said Sunday after New York's 6-3 loss at San Diego.
Rodriguez's suspension "is based on his use and possession of numerous forms of prohibited performance-enhancing substances, including Testosterone and Human Growth Hormone, over the course of multiple years," and for "engaging in a course of conduct intended to obstruct and frustrate the Office of the Commissioner's investigation," according to a news release from Major League Baseball. Rodriguez would forfeit his salaries from the remainder of this season and all of next, but is owed $61 million by the Yankees from 2015-17, and could earn millions more as he closes in on the all-time home run record.
The Yankees released a statement after the suspensions came down expressing support for the league but sharply addressing claims that they are trying to get out of what has become a lousy contract.
"The New York Yankees in no way instituted and/or assisted MLB in the direction of this investigation; or used the investigation as an attempt to avoid its responsibilities under a player contract; or did its medical staff fail to provide the appropriate standard of care to Alex Rodriguez," the statement read.
In addition to Rodriguez, baseball handed out 50-game suspensions to a dozen other players for violating Major League Baseball’s drug policy. Only Rodriguez was expected to appeal.
Rangers outfielder Nelson Cruz, Tigers shortstop Jhonny Peralta, Phillies reliever Antonio Bastardo, Mets outfielder Jordany Valdespin, Padres shortstop Everth Cabrera, free-agent pitcher Jordan Norberto, Yankees catcher Francisco Cervelli, Mariners catcher Jesus Montero, Mets outfielder Cesar Puello, Astros pitcher Sergio Escalona, Padres pitcher Fautino De Los Santos and Yankees outfielder Fernando Martinez have accepted their punishments handed out by Major League Baseball, FOX Sports’ Ken Rosenthal reports, citing unidentified sources close to the matter.
The Texas Rangers said Monday that they were “disappointed” in Cruz. Cruz said in a statement that he had a gastrointestinal infection that went undiagnosed at the beginning of 2012, making him unsure if he would be physically able to play.
"Faced with this situation, I made an error in judgment that I deeply regret, and I accept full responsibility for that error,” Cruz said. “I should have handled the situation differently, and my illness was no excuse.”
Peralta said he got suspended because he made a “lapse in judgment.”
“I apologize to everyone that I have hurt as a result of my mistake, including my teammates, the Tigers' organization, the great fans in Detroit, Major League Baseball, and my family,” Peralta said.
The San Diego Padres also said the organization stands behind the league's decision to suspend Cabrera.
"The accepted suspensions announced today are consistent with the punishments set forth in the Joint Drug Agreement, and were arrived at only after hours of intense negotiations between the bargaining parties, the players and their representatives," Major League Baseball Players Association Executive Director Michael Weiner said Monday afternoon.
The Union's members have made it clear that they want a clean game," Weiner added. "They support efforts to discipline players, and harshly, to help ensure an even playing field for all."
Athletics pitcher Bartolo Colon, Blue Jays outfielder Melky Cabrera and Padres catcher Yasmani Grandal received no additional punishments. They each have served 50-game suspensions following a positive test.
Nationals pitcher Gio Gonzalez and Orioles infielder Danny Valencia, whose names surfaced in early reports about the now-closed Biogenesis of America anti-aging clinic in Florida, have been cleared of any wrongdoing.
Rodriguez is the most famous player linked to Biogenesis, and the Yankees expect him to be charged with interfering with MLB's investigation, resulting in a harsher penalty than the other 13 players facing discipline.
If Rodriguez challenges the suspension, his appeal would be heard by arbitrator Fredric Horowitz.
Yankees outfielder Curtis Granderson was excited Rodriguez could play during an appeal.
"I want him back with us. This is arguably one of the best hitters of all time," he said. "Having him in the lineup is obviously going to be very positive for us."

Chief Keef just learned a very expensive lesson. When you get sued it would be wise to your lawyers on the case right away.
The 17-year old rapper, real name Keith Kozart, was sued by a concert promotion company called Team Major after he was a no show for a December 2012 concert in London.
The company claimed they lost $75,000 because of it, including the Chicago native's advance.
Four months passed and Keef never bothered to respond to the suit. Now he'll have to pay a default judgement of $230,019 as ordered by the judge in the case for damages, loss of earnings, and reputational harm, according to TMZ.
