Report: John Singleton in a Coma After Suffering Stroke

Days after suffering a stroke, famed director John Singleton is reportedly in a coma.

According to court documents obtained by TMZ, Singleton’s mother, Sheila Ward, wants to establish a temporary conservatorship since he is “unable to properly provide for his personal needs for physical health, food, clothing, or shelter."

Ward noted that he was involved in several projects, even preparing to sign a lucrative settlement deal. She is asking a judge to approve her as the conservator so she can handle his business affairs and execute the deal.

Last week, Singleton checked into a hospital for weakness in his legs. He suffered a stroke in his hospital room. At the time, his family told People magazine, “On Wednesday, April 17th our beloved son/father, John Singleton, suffered a stroke while at the hospital. John is currently in the ICU and under great medical care. 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.”
