CAMACHO’S MOTHER SAYS LIFE SUPPORT TO END

SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico: The mother of Hector “Macho” Camacho, the Puerto Rican ring great, declared brain dead after being shot, said on Friday that he will be taken off life support, a move the ex- champion’s eldest son opposes. Camacho’s mother, Maria Matias, said in a press conference that she has accepted the doctors’ verdict rendered on Thursday that the three- time world champion was clinically brain- dead and could not recover. She said that the family would wait until Saturday, so that all of Camacho’s children will have a chance to say goodbye.
