Senseless

This is positively senseless and I don't want to talk about it!

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 football player was shot Monday during an attempted robbery 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 our country -- now."
