Sean Kingston

Sean Kingston has no one to blame but himself. That's the conclusion police have reached in regard to the artist's Memorial Day Weekend jet skiing accident.

In the just-released accident report, authorities say Kingston could have avoided harm if he took a boating class. Or at least read a manual prior to boarding his vehicle.

As first reported by TMZ, investigators cite Kingston's "inexperience" and "inattention" as the basis for the accident, with cops saying the singer simply didn't comprehend simple boating safety procedures. To wit: the actual accident was caused by Sean releasing the throttle and turning the wheel simultaneously.

Just how bad could things have been for Kingston? The impact of the crash actually left imprints of the star's body all over the cement divider into which he smacked.

Sean Kingston made an emotional return to the public eye last night.

For the first time since his Memorial Day Weekend jet skiing accident, and subsequent open heart surgery, the artist appeared before a cadre of fans at the Teen Choice Awards, receiving a standing ovation after being introduced by Tyra Banks.

He then handed good pal Justin Bieber the surfboard for Choice Male Artist.

"I'm feeling good, I'm feeling blessed, a hundred-percent.. I learned that in life anything can happen and you have to count your blessings and worship God, and believe in God," Kingston told People at the event. "And know that anything can happen, so you have to be cautious about what you do."

Sean Kingston is lucky to be alive, and not just because he crashed his jet ski while speeding over Memorial Day Weekend.

In an interview with The Today Show this morning, the artist and his doctors talked about a torn aorta the singer suffered just days after the accident. It required open-heart surgery.

"He tried to die a couple of times with us, but we refused to let him die," one of Kingston's doctors said.

Kingston said he was in "a lot of pain" after the crash. But now? Following a rescue at sea by Jonathan Rivera of the coast guard, and another in the operating room?

"It feels great. It's a blessing... For me to still be here, it's only God's work. I think my work isn't done. It wasn't my time yet."

Welcome back, Sean Kingston.

For the first time since his scary jet skiing accident in late May, the artist returned to the stage this weekend in Miami. He appeared as a special guest of Nicki Minaj's, running out in front of a screaming crowd after prompting from the featured act.

It's nice to see the big man up and around, isn't it?

Sean Kingston is out of bed, on to Twitter and improving every day.

Just a few weeks after the singer was seriously injured in a jet skiing accident, Kingston has updated fans about his condition.

"Feeling alot better!" he Tweeted last night, along with the following photo, adding: "GOD IS GREAT! Thanks for all the prayers and support! Love you ALL!”

Kingston, who has received encouraging words from pals such as Rihanna and Justin Bieber, has been released from the hospital. It's unclear when he'll return to the stage.

Things continue to improve for Sean Kingston.

The popular singer won't be facing a lawsuit as the result of his jet skiing accident last weekend, and now various sources confirm that his condition is getting better every day.

While still in a Miami hospital, Kingston is awake and alert, communicating with visitors via head movements and sign language.

The artist, who has been the subject of encouraging, wish-filled Tweets from stars such as Rihanna and Justin Bieber, was initially treated in the trauma ward and remains in critical condition.

Kingston will likely remain under doctor's care for a couple more weeks, and we'll provide updates as time goes on, but this is positive news for fans of the star.

Some good news today for Sean Kingston and his fans.

First, a detailed account of the singer's injuries have been released. Kingston's label, Epic Records, reports that its client is in "critical but stable condition" and is "aware of what is going on around him, sedated but fully conscious."

The artist suffered a broken jaw and fractured wrist, among other lesser ailments, in Sunday's jet ski crash. He's expected to make a full recovery in about six weeks.

When that takes place, Kingston won't need to worry about any legal repercussions.

Cassandra Sanchez, who was a passenger on the singer's watercraft and said she urged her friend to slow down, tells TMZ she won't be pursuing a case against her pal.

"I know this whole thing was just an accident," Sanchez says. "I won't be pressing any type of charges or hiring a lawyer. Sean is a good guy."

Just prior to the jet skiing accident that landed Sean Kingston in the ICU, Cassandra Sanchez had the best, most unfortunate seat possible on Sunday evening: she was sitting alongside the singer.

In her first interview since the incident, Sanchez spoke to TMZ and said she urged her friend to slow down during the ride.

As Kingston raced toward a Miami Beach bridge, Sanchez recounts her reaction, as she screamed at the artist: "We can't fit under there! Are we going to try and go under there? Sean, stop!" 

Kingston tried to swerve at the last moment, but crashed into the structure. Sanchez next remembers waking up in pain, while Sean was "coughing up blood, foam and pink stuff" and repeating the words, "I'm hurting. I'm hurting."

With his condition stabilized, a new report outlines just how Sean Kingston ended up in a Miami area hospital Sunday night.

Speaking on the jet skiing accident, Jorge Pino - spokesman for the Florida Fish and Wildlife Commission, which leads the investigation - told reporters yesterday:

"Sean was heading west from the MacArthur Causeway and Miami Beach Islands when his personal watercraft collided with the bridge, and he and his female passenger ended up in the water. A good Samaritan tended to the two of them until Miami Beach Fire Rescue arrived and saw there were injuries."

While there are no indications that alcohol played a role in the incident, Pino acknowledges that "nine times out of 10, recklessness on the water involving personal watercraft contributes to accidents."

Kingston was said to be "puking blood" at the scene, while his 23-year old companion was not injured.

As we wait to learn more, other stars have spoken out and offered their prayers to Kingston. Among them, Justin Bieber, who collaborated with the artist on "Eenie Meeni."

"Got my friend @seankingston in my prayers tonight," he Tweeted. "a true friend and big bro. please keep him in your prayers tonight as well."
