Sean Taylor, free safety for the Washington Redskins, has died Tuesday morning a day after being shot in the leg. Taylor was 24 years old. He was in his fourth season with the Redskins and was really having a good season so far, having 5 interceptions. Taylor was a Pro Bowl safety last year and was definitely heading to the Pro Bowl again this season. There were reports from his former lawyer that he lost a significant amount of blood due to the gunshot severing his femoral artery. From the point when Taylor was shot early Monday morning till his death, he never gained consciousness, therefore giving little hope that he would survive. On Monday evening, the doctors said they were cautiously optimistic once Taylor was starting to respond to simple commands from the doctors. But that was short-lived as well. Taylor's murder happens a little over 10 months after Denver Broncos defensive back Darrent Williams was shot and killed after leaving a party shortly after their season was over. Williams was also 24 at the time that he died. Taylor has known to have been in trouble in the past but there haven't been anything that has been linked to his troubles yet. The same house where he was shot in on Momday was the same house that was broken into eight days earlier. Nobody was in the house at the time but this time around, Taylor, who was injured and returned to his home after receiving treatment for his knee, and his girlfriend, were home. Is this a growing trend with football players with two deaths from murders? Is Taylor's past actions responsible for his murder? Who will the Redskins replace him with? Will the Redskins play their scheduled home game this Sunday against the Buffalo Bills?
