Jorge Ramirez the Chief of the ICU at Calderon Hospital said Jeremy Lusk suffered from spine and brain damage.

“He was in a medicine-induced coma as a protective measure, and the medicine was being reduced to see how his body responded,” he said. “That didn’t mean he was going to wake up. He was in shock and that got worse last night, until he stopped responding and entered into cardiac and respiratory failure.” [Source]

In 2008 Jeremy Lusk won the gold at the X Game FMX event, and the silver for best trick at Moto X. Jeremy Lusk was also named rider of the year by FMX, and appeared on the cover of TransWorld Motocross magazine in January 2009.
