NFL TRAGEDY: REDSKINS STAR TAYLOR DEAD AT 24
MIAMI (AP) — Washington Redskins safety Sean Taylor died early Tuesday, a day after he was shot at home. He was 24.
Family friend Richard Sharpstein said Taylor’s father told him the news around 5:30 a.m.
"His father called and said he was with Christ and he cried and thanked me," said 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."
