It's a case of when to pull the plug on life support.
I'd wait for ESPN or some other news agency before declaring someone dead...not relying on a blogger or a blind item in another boxing forum. Some boxing forums are only experts in who's a homo, and what religion or race should be hated.

Hector was always going to be getting into trouble, no matter what his age.

I'm not surprised one bit, that's just what he was into, who knows WTF happened , maybe he and the driver were trying to rip off the dealer and that is why they got capped...  Puerto Ricans dealers don't mess around....

He had this coming, back in february 2011 he also got his car shot several times but nothing happened to him. This time they didn't miss.

CAMACHO has been pushing his luck since he was a kid in Spanish Harlem, so it really comes as no surprise that his luck ran out and fate finally caught up with him, MACHO TIME NO MORE.....

This Dr here, also son of a Dr is telling you, he is dead.
I am not relying on anything, just the facts.

He's dead NOW. Not Wednesday, Thursday or Friday. They pulled the plug on him finally, and he's officially dead.
Camacho Jr. was even saying "he's not dead" throughout the week.
Hector's official death date isn't when he was declared brain dead, but when they pulled him off life support. Interesting, isn't it? In the end, it isn't when your brain stops working, it's when your heart stops working.
If "brain dead" was the criteria, there would be an obit for Chisora right now. Among others.

It's hard to criticise the family , I'm sure they all hoped for a miracle, I though they should've donated his organs but it seems it's not biologically feasible after maintaining the body on life support for almost a week.....so off he goes taking all his dissfunctional parts with him ,might as well ! suppose..
