Taylor Anthony Hunt
Taylor Hunt was a father, and his mother says his children were to live with her. His best friend had planned to start a welding business with him after his release. Hunt was found unresponsive in a shower at Rogers State Prison in Tattnall County on September 27, 2024. The Georgia Department of Corrections' preliminary report says he died by suicide, but his mother said people familiar with the prison told her a hanging would be nearly impossible that way, and the family reported he had been attacked by other people held there in the weeks before his death. The Georgia Bureau of Investigation has not released the autopsy findings.
