From CNN (http://www.cnn.com/2007/US/11/27/obit.taylor/index.html):

MIAMI, Florida (CNN) -- Washington Redskins safety Sean Taylor has died a day after he was shot and wounded in his Miami home,
Taylor's former attorney Richard Sharpstein said Tuesday.

Sean Taylor never regained consciousness after being taken to a hospital, says his ex-attorney.

Sharpstein told CNN that the 24-year-old football player was shot Monday during a home invasion and died later at a hospital.

"The blood loss was too much. He didn't make it," Sharpstein told CNN. "He did supposedly squeeze a nurse's hand. I wasn't there,"
said Sharpstein. "But obviously that was either some kind of response or muscle reaction and not any sign for the better."

He never regained consciousness after the shooting, Sharpstein said. "It's a senseless, tragic death that was so unnecessary,
another example of the incessant violence in -- not only our community -- but the country now."

It is sad that he died, but im sick of hearing about it. Living in the Washington DC area and about 5 miles from Redskins Park...thats all i've been hearing about since I got into work. Its annoying. Someone actually was talking about going to Redskins park to take some flowers.
I guess it makes no sense to me since I don't give a shit about football, I guess if it was Thurston Moore or Bruce Dickinson i'd sort of understand.

I would expect an editorial about athletes being to wealthy and flaunting thier riches too much. An increasing number of athletes are being robbed.

I was talking more about the fact that he has a questionable background and several firearms violations.

I question the "Random Break-in gone wrong" story. I wouldn't be surprised if there was more to this, like someone exacting some revenge against Taylor.

Is it bad that I had no idea who he was?

Probably not. I mean, I'd have to be an idiot to care about the Redskins. *runs from Lil J*

Either way, that sucks. (n)
