The Atlanta police said the officials had answered the scene and found the man. He was taken to the hospital, where he later died.

In a copy of the report to Atlanta News, a civil servant first described Taylor pulled out of the collapsed tent after the truck was plowed through the warehouse. The report says that Taylor was in “clear need” and had a bloody nose.

Those who were Taylor near Taylor said he was a man who was fun to be nearby and despite his living conditions to have a positive attitude.

Since his death, Taylor's family and supporters have asked the city to make political changes in order to better serve the courted population.
