John Singleton's stroke is way more serious than his family first revealed -- it was a major stroke and he is in a coma -- and we've learned the family is in the process of establishing a conservatorship for him.
TMZ broke the story ... Singleton suffered a stroke last week after returning from Costa Rica and experienced problems with his legs. He checked himself into Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in L.A. and suffered a stroke Wednesday in his hospital room.
We know he was in the ICU as of last weekend, but family members characterized the stroke as "mild."
According to the legal docs, obtained by TMZ, John's mom, Shelia Ward, is asking a judge to appoint her temporary conservator because he is "unable to properly provide for his personal needs for physical health, food, clothing, or shelter."
His mother said, at the time he suffered the stroke, he was engaged in several business projects and was prepared to sign a lucrative settlement agreement. She wants to handle those affairs and execute the settlement agreement. |

Luke Perry was young. John Singleton is younger. Geez.

John Singleton, ‘Boyz n the Hood’ director and writer, dies at age 51
Quote: |
LOS ANGELES -- The family of director John Singleton told FOX4 film critic Shawn Edwards early Monday that Singleton has died.
Singleton had been in a coma after suffering a major stroke more than a week ago.
Singleton's family had previously confirmed he suffered a stroke on April 17 but did not elaborate on his condition.
Singleton, 51, who was the first black filmmaker nominated for the best director Oscar award, is known for films like "Boyz n the Hood" and "Poetic Justice."
A show he co-created for the FX Network, "Snowfall," was renewed last year for a third season. |

a reminder that life's short and you waste a day at your own peril. doesn't matter how old you are. you must not look back and have regrets about what you never did.
my brother had a stroke when he was 53. it left him paralyzed on half of his body and with a visual cut, meaning he can see only a small portion of what's in front of him. it's been 15 years and he has adjusted, but i know not a day goes by when he doesn't think about all the things he should've done - not just realizing his dreams but taking care of his health. (what is it about guys that they just don't wanna go to the doctor for an annual checkup? or listen to their bodies when they're not feeling well, instead of saying, "it's nothing. i'm okay."??? pfft. and i know that this is not the life his wife imagined for them or herself. everything changed that day and, from then on, it was a series of circumstances they had to "settle" for. and still be grateful.
his situation informed my choices, and it's why i finally got off the dime and moved to brasil, something i'd been talking about for years and probably never would've got around to. i tell young people (because i'm old now and can) to get out there, travel the world, live the dream, whatever, because it just gets harder the longer you wait. and tomorrow isn't promised.
