Freestyle motocross rider, died


(1984-2009)

Jeremy Lusk- American freestyle motocross rider, died of head injuries Tuesday after crashing while trying to land a backflip in competition.



Jorge Ramirez, chief of the intensive care unit at Calderon Hospital, said Lusk suffered severe brain damage and a possible spinal cord injury.

He was in a medicine-induced coma as a protective measure, and the medicine was being reduced to see how his body responded,” he said. “That didn’t mean he was going to wake up. He was in shock and that got worse last night, until he stopped responding and entered into cardiac and respiratory failure.”

Thoughts and prayers for you and your family. May you find peace wherever you are.

So long, Jeremy.
