ShocksMyBrain 9,362 Posted April 19, 2017 Share Posted April 19, 2017 (CNN)Aaron Hernandez, the former New England Patriots star who was convicted of murder, was found hanged Wednesday morning in the Massachusetts prison where he was serving a life sentence, officials said. The death of Hernandez, 27, comes just days after he was acquitted in a separate murder case. Hernandez "was discovered hanged in his cell by corrections officers at the Souza Baranowski Correctional Center in Shirley Massachusetts at approximately 3:05 a.m.," the Massachusetts Department of Correction said. "Lifesaving techniques were attempted on Mr. Hernandez and he was transported to UMASS Leominster, where he was pronounced dead at 4:07 a.m. by a physician at the hospital. "Mr. Hernandez was in a single cell in a general population housing. Mr. Hernandez hanged himself utilizing a bed sheet that he attached to his cell window. Mr. Hernandez also attempted to block his door from the inside by jamming the door with various items. "The Massachusetts State Police are on scene and the investigation continues. Mr. Hernandez's next of kin have been notified."

AU64 10,122 Posted April 19, 2017 Share Posted April 19, 2017 Wonder what life was like in the UF locker room with him around...he was never a nice guy...from his days before UF. Somehow they either kept him under control or kept it covered up... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GordoAU 87 Posted April 19, 2017 Share Posted April 19, 2017 Sad life but I do not pity him. At-least our tax dollars won't be wasted keeping an evil man who was a murderer alive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
milehighfan 1,239 Posted April 28, 2017 Share Posted April 28, 2017 I've never understood professional athletes or anyone who squanders what they were blessed with. Aside from Hernandez, the one that sticks out to me is Len Bias. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
