November 21, 201213 yr comment_66126 Camacho, 50, was gravely injured in a drive-by shooting in Puerto Rico on Tuesday night. Torres said Camacho suffered a heart attack early Wednesday, worsening his condition, and at one point his heart had stopped.Torres said an initial test showed Camacho had a low level of brain activity and two more tests were being carried out."We are keeping him alive with medicine. He is a strong guy," he said. "We can maintain him several days like this to see if there is an improvement. Macho's situation is very delicate. The prognosis is very poor," Torres added.The boxer's mother, Maria Matias, arrived in Puerto Rico and was discussing Camacho's medical condition with doctors.Camacho, was a passenger in a car driven by his lifelong friend, Alberto Yamil Mojica. They were sitting in the parked car outside a bar when someone opened fire, killing the driver. Camacho was shot in the jaw by a bullet that fractured two vertebrae and lodged in his shoulder, doctors said.Reuters - http://www.reuters.com/article/2012/11/21/us-puertorico-boxing-camacho-idUSBRE8AK1FU20121121 Report
