Executive Briefing
According to reporting by CBS News US National, : What started out as a special dinner date between Jade Benning, a Nashville chef, and Blaise Taylor, an assistant football scout, at her Nashville apartment ended in her call to a friend — and his call to 911.
Detailed Factual Report
On the night of Feb. 25, 2023, outside Vanderbilt Medical Center in Nashville, Tennessee, Blaise Taylor was answering police questions about how a date turned into a medical emergency.
Authorities wanted to know what happened to 24-year-old Jade Benning, who had been rushed to the hospital, arriving unresponsive.
Jade Benning started that night with the hope of strengthening her relationship with Blaise Taylor, then a 26-year-old assistant football scout for the Tennessee Titans. Jade, a professional chef, was planning a special night at her apartment — cooking dinner, to be followed by painting pictures. But as the evening progressed, just minutes after taking selfies, Jade fell ill. Blaise said she was spitting up and shaking — unsure what to do, he first called his father.
Evi Taylor, Blaise's mother, said their children would often contact their father, a college football coach, with medical questions.
