Taylor was rushed to the hospital after the shooting and underwent surgery but suffered massive blood loss.

"This is just such a tragic, horrible, unnecessary death -- another example of the incessant violence in this city and this country,'' Richard Sharpstein, Taylor's attorney, said early Tuesday morning.

[Taylor's lawyer Richard Sharpstein] said Taylor, 24, emerged from surgery about 12:30 p.m. but had lost a lot of blood and remained unconscious, his brain at risk of injury from the blood loss. He was in intensive care and doctors have allowed his family to see him. Sharpstein said a doctor informed the family around 6 p.m. Monday that Taylor had squeezed a nurse's hand, giving the family hope that he was responding to treatment.

The intruders fled the scene and did not steal anything. Taylor's girlfriend and child were also in the bedroom at the time of the shooting. The baby slept through the whole thing.

Someone broke into Taylor's home last week when nobody was home, rifled through several things, and left a kitchen knife on a bed in the house.

"I'm very blessed that he's healthy, and I look forward to spending as much time with him as I can when the season's over," Brady said in a post-baby-visit interview this week with Boston's Channel 5 "Patriots All Access" show.

The Dallas Cowboys wide receiver, 32, was depressed and told cops that he was trying to harm himself, the report states. A female companion of the athlete told officers that Owens last week filled a prescription for 40 pain pills, but had only taken five of the pills up to yesterday. Owens told police that he had taken the balance of the pills last night.

Owens was taking generic Vicodin (hydrocodone) to relieve the pain of his recently broken hand. He says the Vicodin mixed with supplements he is taking caused him to become ill.

He said Wednesday the confusion likely stemmed from an empty bottle of pain medication found by his publicist, who was with him at the time and called 911. He said the rest of the pills were in a drawer.

The police report has since been officially released with the parts about suicide blacked out. When asked why he answered "yes" when asked if he was trying to harm himself, Owens said, "I wasn't coherent as they probably thought I was. A number of people were asking me questions. I don't remember the police officers that were in there or the doctors that were in there."

They note that the high cure rate for testicular cancer may be due to the fact that testicles are cooler than other parts of the body, so any cancer that develops there may not be able to handle the heat when it spreads to warmer areas of the body.

Understanding the basis for what they call “the Lance Armstrong effect” might lead to ways to help make other kinds of cancer more treatable, the researchers said in an article in Wednesday’s Journal of the American Medical Association.
