| Blood loss and subsequent anoxic brain injury from a leg wound (femoral artery) is how Sean Taylor died. |
I was once told a tourniquet should be reserved for severe injuries, because it makes amputation more likely. |
Only if left on for more than two hours, hopefully not the case here. |

Pretty sure the SnowCat already amputated the leg - you cannot reattach a limb that has suffered extensive crush injuries. He is very lucky his neighbor is a doctor familiar with tourniquet application he very likely would have died awaiting EMS otherwise, that is the risk of living in remote places with longer response times.
He’s always seemed like a good guy, I don’t know any of the super hero movies but he was excellent in The Hurt Locker. I truly wish him the best possible outcome and that if he survives and recovers he still finds a place in movies despite his new physical condition. |
| Just really sad news. I hope he recovers. |
| I'm sorry to hear this. I really love his work in the MCU universe and LOVED the Hawkeye series last year. He also seems like a genuinely good dude. Wishing him a speedy recovery. |
Who is Sean Taylor? |
NP. Redskins player. |
| I have a bad feeling about it. |
Something about the way it has been reported so far, I feel like maybe not death, but loss of limb. How else do you get in a snow plow accident besides it being terrible? It's not a few scratches. |
Very promising Redskins player. He died after being attacked during a home invasion. |
He was a football player for Commanders (called Redskins at the time). He was attacked at his home. Very sad. Also thinking of Anne Heche where initially she was called critical but stable. Hope I am wrong but given what happened this doesn’t look good. |
| There's been no updates. That doesn't bode well. How awful for his family and his little girl. |
| Extra reports he’s conscious and speaking, having surgery today. Fingers crossed. |
| With the descriptions it sounds like an amputation is in the works. Hopefully just one limb. |
