SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico -- Famed Puerto Rican boxer Hector "Macho" Camacho is clinically brain dead, doctors said Thursday, though they said family members were disagreeing on whether to take him off life support. Dr. Ernesto Torres said doctors have finished performing all medical tests on Camacho, who was shot in the face Tuesday night. "We have done everything we could," said Torres, who is the director of the Centro Medico trauma center in San Juan. "We have to tell the people of Puerto Rico and the entire world that Macho Camacho has died, he is brain dead." He said at a news conference that the family expects to say by Friday if Camacho should remain on life support. Torres said Camacho's father has already indicated that he wants the boxer taken off life support and his organs donated, but one of his sisters opposes the idea. "This is a very difficult moment," he said. Ismael Leandry, a longtime friend and former manager, told reporters that Camacho's mother also is wavering on taking her son off life support and would like more time with him. He said the family is waiting for Camacho's oldest son to arrive Thursday night before having a family reunion and making a decision. "Let's remember him as a good man," Leandry said. "He was a good father, a good son."

Not sure if the article mentions it, but 10 bags of cocaine were found at the scene.

Yep, not saying he deserved it (although I'm sure he has done a lot of shitty things in his life), but you don't ordinarily walk up to somebody in their car and shoot them in their face & neck lord knows how many times.....Especially when that person is a national icon. He had to of rustled somebody's jimmies to the point of no return.

Didn't David Berkowitz do this exact thing?

Terrible.. that choice of taking someone off life support is always hard.

His dog, Son of Sam, told him to murder those people.

Mark David Chapman would've probably been a better example
