Washington Redskins safety Sean Taylor died this morning at the age of 24, as a result of a gunshot wound suffered in an apparent robbery attempt yesterday morning at his Miami home. He was 24.
His father notified his attorney Richard Sharpstein this morning around 5:30 a.m., but his exact time of death his not immediately available. The gunshot severed a femoral artery in his leg area, causing him to lose a significant amount of blood.
Doctors were encouraged early yesterday evening after Taylor physically responded to attempts to revive him, although there were concerns about long term brain damage. Miami-Dade police are still investigating the crime, which occurred eight days after a previous robbery attempt in which someone entered his home, and left a kitchen knife on his bed.
The thoughts of my family, and the families of millions of people around the world are with the Taylor family, and the Washington Redskins organization this morning and in the weeks to come.
