bigted Posted October 12, 2006 Report Share Posted October 12, 2006 Update: Cassidy Remains Hospitalized, In Grave Condition But Expected To Survive Tuesday - October 10, 2006 by Jolene "foxxylady" Petipas Full Surface/J Records rapper Cassidy still remains in critical condition at Jersey City Medical Center, six days after being involved in a car accident in which he suffered severe head injuries. As SOHH previously reported, Cassidy (born Barry Reese) was in New Jersey en route to a Yonkers, NY studio session on Wednesday (October 5), when a U-Haul truck swerved into oncoming traffic, striking the side of the SUV Cassidy was riding in. The Philly bred rapper, who was sitting in the rear passenger side seat, suffered severe injuries, including a fractured skull and broken bones on the left side of his face. According to Theola Borden, a publicist for J Records, who spoke to The Star Ledger yesterday (October 9), Cassidy is in grave condition but is expected to survive. "We don't know whether he is in an induced coma or heavily sedated," Borden told The Star Ledger. "The results of a CAT scan were okay." Both Borden and Jersey CityMedicalCenter officials wouldn't provide any more information about his condition or release any information about him. Jersey City police said they have no record of an accident in the North District involving the rapper, despite the account from his publicist and others. Borden revealed that friends and relatives were at the rapper's bedside. "Other rappers, such as Remy Ma, have called and asked to visit, but I think they're just allowing close family members and friends to visit," Borden said. "He's on the same label as Swizz Beatz, who I'm sure has been over to visit." Cassidy had been preparing his return to the rap game with a third album via Full Surface. He was released from prison in April for an involuntary manslaughter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
