Doctor: Camacho is brain dead

SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico – Famed Puerto Rican boxer Hector “Macho” Camacho is clinically brain dead, doctors said Thursday, although 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.”
