Wow that is pretty shocking. All that talent and he goes and does something stupid and horrendous, then can't do the time for the crime... such a giant of a coward.
Meh, I can't imagine life in prison. If you know there's no reasonable expectation to ever get out again, then you're sort of reduced to either escape, living with it, or calling it quits.
I've got a couple of friends in the same boat, they'll never see the outside. They keep going. I am not sure I could do it.

Oh, and maybe some paper mache.

Others are also speculating that maybe he gave up some info in his last trial that made him a marked man. Who knows.
Absolutely no chance he took his own life. Chico was not a saint, but my family and I loved him and he would never take his own life.

There was no reason for him to commit suicide.
He was just found not guilty and they were apparently going to challenge his previous conviction.
Not the first time that a prisoner is found dead in his cell and I'm sure wont be the last.
Aaron Hernandez's former agent isn't convinced it was suicide, and at least one person might agree

I think because some of them grew
up in the ghetto. Thug/street life was all they knew. Not to mention the brain is not fully developed til they are 25 or older. Head injuries can also be a problem.
Aaron also lost his father at 16, which had to be very traumatic. From what I read his mother remarried to an abusive psycho. So he had loss, followed by more trauma.
My son used to idolize Hernandez, which used to infuriate me. The owner of the Patriots actually got rid of all Hernandez shirts from the pro-shop.
I now feel sorry for Aaron Hernandez, he lost his father and had a very traumatic childhood; he could have had a great life. Now his child has no dad. Just sad really
I also feel sad for his victims and their families

Other than losing his father at age 16, which is always a terrible thing for any kid, he had a pretty great upbringing in Bristol. He didn't grow up on the mean streets or have family issues. Going into college and the NFL, he didn't have a previous history of gang association or any of that.
He intentionally wanted to get into that lifestyle. He hooked up with a drug dealer to be his buddy after college. Not someone from his past, but someone he chose to hang around with after the fact. When he was signing a 40 million dollar contract, he didn't bring in the old neighborhood crew like so many do. He sought out the lifestyle he had never lived before, like he WANTED to get into the thug life. Something very wrong with that guy. No bad childhood. No history of growing up on the streets with gangs, nothing but a guy who craved to be who he became for no reason whatsoever.
