Former New England Patriots player Aaron Hernandez was discovered hanged in his cell by a corrections officer Tuesday night, according to a statement from the Massachusetts Department of Correction.
Hernandez's body was found at the Souza Baranowski Correctional Center in Shirley Massachusetts at approximately 3:05 a.m.
Hernandez hanged himself with a bed sheet attached to his cell window. He had also attempted to block the door from the inside by jamming the door with various items.
He was pronounced dead at 4:07 a.m. by a physician at the hospital.
The thing that must have gotten him is that the first murder was probably committed to silence a witness to the ones he was just found innocent of.
I am aware of the misspelling I used the voice text function on my phone and missed it before it was too late.
Do you think he got into it with his cellmate or prison gang related?
He was suspected in 3 murders, and convicted in one, acquitted in the other two (which he probably committed). He was serving life without parole for the murder of his friend/drug dealer, who he killed execution-style.
Not quite. He was serving life with no parole for another murder.
Aaron, you should've followed your brother to UConn, but you been a jerk.
I was in the big house for 25 years. Inmates placed in MHCB ( mental health crisis beds) were put there with only a suicide vest, till they were no longer in crisis.
I doubt this dude had a cellie. No cellmate is going to allow his cellie to commit suicide. He will be screaming bloody murder, for staff to intervene, because he would be the prime suspect. The entire housing unit would know about it, as they would all hear it. If a dude is going to off his cellie, hanging him by a bedsheet, would be the last thing he would try to do. He would be screaming that his cellie was trying to kill him, and once again, the entire housing unit would hear it. The guy did himself in.
Don’t care. Don’t care.
Now that makes sense. Almost a Twilight Zone moment...”wait, I didn’t actually have to kill the guy I got popped for? Oh snap!”
Wow—thanks.
Most guys who “hang themselves” in prison don’t actually hang themselves.
Just my opinion.
Amen, second it.
I am a UConn Huskies fan, which includes football.
I can’t stand how voice to text doesn’t work
U think he was found dead of other causes and they said”hung himself” or you think someone else helped “hang” him?
No offense but what is your opinion based on?
Wow, I didn't know that. The Hernandez story has been BIG here in New England, as you can imagine. Plus he's from my home state (Connecticut, town of Bristol), so any time he made an appearance in any court, it was always the lead story.
Age and experience. Why do ask?
Prayers for a deeply misguided soul.
Fair enough. I ask because that’s a pretty serious accusation and I think it should be made much more directly and in detail. It would take quite the conspiracy for someone to have murdered Hernandez and made it look like a suicide.
