Shannan Taylor
By Johnny Benz, Doghouse Boxing - A this time, reports that Shannan Taylor, the Australian Boxing star, has died of a drug overdose have not been confirmed. What has been confirmed by a spokesperson for Wollongong Hospital is that Taylor was admitted to Hospital early Monday morning and at this time is in critical condition and being aided by a life support machine. The spokesperson for the Hospital confirmed this only after reports started surfacing that Taylor had already died.

A report out by the Daily Telegraph (UK based publication), indicates that Doctors at the Hospital are monitoring Taylor's condition and vital signs as he remains on life support. The Daily further reports that the life support machine is expected to be shut off sometime tomorrow.

From the AAP, Jeff Fenech (an Australian Boxing Legend) was interviewed regarding Taylor.  Fenech is in absolute shock, telling the news agency he received a call from Taylor early Sunday evening. Fenech stated he could tell by the phone conversation that Taylor was in "party mode". Fenech felt nothing of it because he considered it Shannan being his normal self. 

The next morning, the same morning that Taylor would end up being admitted to Hospital over a suspected drug overdose, Fenech called Taylor.  "I tried ringing him (twice)" stated Fenech, adding: "to see how he was."

"He told me he hadn't been drinking, but it sounded like he had been at that time," stated Fenech regarding the conversation they had.

In regards to what Fenech believes happened, he feels Taylor got mixed up with Booze and Drugs, an evil mixture that "led him astray."
