Blaise Taylor’s murder indictment was the result of months of investigation by homicide detectives and, scientists from the crime lab, and doctors, according to police.
A medical examiner testified Benning had so much cocaine in her system that she couldn’t have died from recreational use.
The former Tennessee Titans’ girlfriend, Jade Benning, died at Vanderbilt University Hospital in Nashville on March 6, 2023, which was her 25th birthday. She was taken to the hospital in an ambulance on February 25, 2023 after Taylor reportedly called 911 and claimed that Benning was suffering from an apparent allergic reaction, via WSMV.com.
Her condition only got worse for her and her 5-month-old fetus, whom Taylor is believed to have fathered. Detectives were unable to interview Benning before she passed away.
Until Friday, Blaise had remained behind bars since his arrest on March 26.
