Aaron Hernandez, former NFL player, found dead in prison cell, officials say Published April 19, 2017
FoxNews.com
Aaron Hernandez, the former New England Patriots star who was convicted of murder in 2015, killed himself in his prison cell Wednesday morning, officials said.
Hernandez, 27, was found hanging in his cell by corrections officers around 3:05 a.m. at the Souza Baranowski Correctional Center, Massachusetts Department of Correction officials said in a statement.
He was pronounced dead an hour later.
Hernandez was in a single cell in a general population housing unit and hanged himself with a bed sheet attached to his cell window. He also tried blocking his door from the inside with various items, officials said.
An investigation was ongoing.
The death of the once-promising NFL tight end came almost two years to the day from when he was convicted of first-degree murder in the death of semi-pro football player Odin Lloyd. The 15th selection in the 2010 NFL draft, Hernandez was arrested in August 2013 in connection with Lloyd's June 2013 death.
On April 14, Hernandez was found not guilty in a double homicide seperate from the Lloyd case, however, he was already serving a life sentence in connection with Lloyd's murder.

WildSigWell, his lawyer did say recently that he believed Aaron would be getting out of prison soon.
In the end he was just another tough guy thug that deep down was just another coward. Too bad he couldn't have done this sooner.

parabellumBye, asshole.
That guy was emblematic of all that is wrong with professional sports. All along, he was nothing more than a violent, murderous lowlife thug.

BigboreshooterHey Aaron, remember this quote:

You're a tough guy, though. It only cost you $20+ million and a permanent trip to the worm farm. I hope it hurt.

Balzé HalzéUgh. I'm festering here at JFK as I wait for my next flight, so I must endure CNN (HLN actually). This woman right now is singing a sob story for this piece of crab. Lady, no one cares.
At least Robin is tolerable.
