*John Singleton‘s condition after his stroke is obviously worse that was first thought. Because of it, the legendary director is now in a coma.
And because he’s in a coma, his family is setting up a conservatorship for him. If you’re not familiar with that that means, here’s a definition:
“A conservatorship is a court case where a judge appoints a responsible person or organization (called the ‘conservator‘) to care for another adult (called the “conservatee”) who cannot care for himself or herself or manage his or her own finances.”
As we reported, Singleton suffered a stroke last week after returning from Costa Rica and experienced problems with his legs. He checked himself into Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in L.A. and suffered a stroke Wednesday in his hospital room.

Here’s more via TMZ:
We know he was in the ICU as of last weekend, but family members characterized the stroke as “mild.”
According to the legal docs, obtained by TMZ, John’s mom, Shelia Ward, is asking a judge to appoint her temporary conservator because he is “unable to properly provide for his personal needs for physical health, food, clothing, or shelter.”
His mother said, at the time he suffered the stroke, he was engaged in several business projects and was prepared to sign a lucrative settlement agreement. She wants to handle those affairs and execute the settlement agreement.
The 51-year-old famed director of “Boyz N the Hood” did not have any medical directives … thus the need for a conservatorship.
