Taylor Hunt
Taylor Hunt was a father, and his mother describes him as a dad with children of his own, who were to live with her. His best friend had planned to start a welding business with him after his release. He died in September 2024 in a shower at Rogers State Prison in Tattnall County, Georgia. The Georgia Department of Corrections' preliminary report says he died by suicide, but his mother disputes this, saying people familiar with the prison told her it would be nearly impossible to hang himself that way. The family also reports that he had been attacked by other people held there in the weeks before his death, and the Georgia Bureau of Investigation has not yet released autopsy findings.
