Following our result that for the final state of continued spherical gravitational collapse , the gravitational mass of the fluid , M _ { f } \rightarrow 0 , we show that for a physical fluid the eventual value of 2 GM _ { f } / R _ { f } \rightarrow 1 rather than 2 GM _ { f } / R _ { f } < 1 , indicating approach to a zero-mass black hole .
We also indicate that as the final state would be approached , the curvature components tend to blow up , and the proper radial distance l and the proper time \tau \rightarrow \infty .
This indicates that actually the singularity is never attained for the collapse of an isolated body .
We also identify that , the final state may correspond to the local 3-speed v \rightarrow c , eventhough the circumference speed U \rightarrow 0 .
However , at a finite observation epoch , such Eternally Collapsing Objects ( ECOs ) may have a modest local speed of collapse v \ll c , and the lab frame speed of collapse should practically be zero because of their extremely high surface gravitational red-shifts .
