Father of 24 found dead inside Detroit building

DETROIT (WJBK) - The bad news came in broad daylight that 45-year-old Deon Taylor of Detroit was dead inside a building.

"He was a very loving, strong man," said daughter Deleesha Taylor.

"His children are devastated. His grandchildren are devastated, and all I can say is we're trying to deal with this. It's hard," said sister-in-law Ramona Harper.

"I don't know what's going to happen now. He had 24 kids," said sister Jacqueline Taylor.

24 children are waiting to find out who or what took their father from them far too soon. Deon's cause of death is currently a mystery.

"I'm going to miss him a lot, and I know that he's in a better place. It just sucks that he can't be here with us," Deleesha said.

"My father meant the world to me. There's not a person in this world that didn't like my dad. He got along with everybody. That's why I don't understand how this could happen," said son Dwane Taylor.

That is what DPD is trying to determine. Homicide was called out because how Deon took his last breath was not obvious or clear. Cops crowded the corner of Colfax and Warren in Detroit Monday searching for evidence and any possible clues.

Sources said Deon was last seen inside the building around midnight. Although there is no signage outside, there are often signs of life inside. We learned the building is frequently used as a night club or party spot. Family and friends said Deon was last seen there getting ready to celebrate the success of one of his sons.

"Getting the place ready for his son's graduation party, which his open house was supposed to be this weekend," Harper said.

When no one had seen or heard from Deon, they had a feeling something was wrong, and sadly they were right.

"I know deep down in my heart he served his purpose here on earth," Deleesha Taylor said.

We learned Deon was found by his brother.

Meanwhile, police will determine how their investigation should proceed after they receive the medical examiner's report.

The least intelligent and most government dependent citizens in America often have a multitude of children. Meanwhile, many of the most intelligent citizens were convinced in college to have very few kids so that they could instead concentrate on their career. Now protract those figures out over the coming generations and you can see where America is headed.

Found in a nondescript "building?"

Abandoned house used as a drug ingestion center would be my guess.

Sister-in-law implies that he was married. I don't believe that he was - ever.

Deon's cause of death is currently a mystery.

My guess is a heart attack.

Reminds me of Steve Martin in "The Jerk". When he told his momma "I found out what my special purpose is for!" and when he said he could send extra money home because he was promised a blow job. Yep, this guys "purpose" served him well.

That, and to save the planet. Funny how 99.99% of those concerned about population control are White.

No Darwin award for him. Part of me will be glad when society collapses, and people have to take care of themselves.
