“I was torn. He really hurt me, but I didn’t know what to do then, Driggers said from Taquino to WWL, his nephew and nephew, his nearest blood relatives.
According to WWL, Taquino was found dead in his home on September 12, 2005. Hundreds of people moved to a temporary morgue built in Louisiana, about 65 miles (105km) of New Orleans, to a temporary morgue built in Louisiana, in the west of New Orleans, many of them lived in Katrina, and many of the 1,400 people who died due to the storm.
