Taylor died at Jackson Memorial Hospital, where he had been taken after being shot once in the leg early Monday morning.
There had been encouraging signs late last night when Taylor squeezed the nurses hand, but things took a turn for the worse through the course of the night."His father called and said he was with Christ and he cried and thanked me," said [Richard] Sharpstein, Taylor's former lawyer. "It's a tremendously sad and unnecessary event. He was a wonderful, humble, talented young man, and had a huge life in front of him. Obviously God had other plans."
Taylor had died a day after he was shot in the upper leg by a home intruder, damaging an artery and losing a significant amount of blood.
As great as an athlete he was, he wasn't just a football player. He was a father, a son, a brother and a boyfriend. Now those people are left to live a life without him all because of some senseless, unnecessary act of violence.
