Aaron Hernandez committed suicide by hanging himself in his prison cell yesterday.  He had been sentenced to life imprisment for murder.

Sad, though I'm not really too surprised I guess...

who was he?

[monnee]

He just saved taxpayers $$$$$ by not having to keep him in prison for life.

who was he?

He was a baseball player whose world and future came crashing down when he committed murder. Funny. He had the world by the butt and was carving out a great future when he did that stupid act of murder. Did he really think he was going to get away with it?

If a murderer wants to kill themselves, that's one death I'll accept.

I couldn't help feel sorry that he committed suicide even though he was in prison for life.  It seems a shame his life went down hill when he had great promise as a baseball player.  I guess that's why they say karma comes back around.  A killier, killing himself.  I still feel bad for him.  His legacy is just death.  A sad shame for life that could have been great.

Sad, just sad

It is so said I couldn't believe it

[madeara]

Sad.  I will be praying for his daughter.  I am sorry he threw opportunities away and took a dark path.  He never got help.  The mental health system should have done much better.

This man definitely had issues - that's the most I can say in comment.

There are monsters with friendly faces and angels with scars.

What a tragic story.
He had achieved a charmed life, getting a 40 million dollar contract from the Patriots, then he threw it all away... such a wasted life.

who was he?

He's a former Patriot football player, who was in prison for murder. In fact was just acquitted of a double murder a few days ago. Then hangs himself

He was actually a football player who played for the New England patriots. He killed someone and was in jail for life without parole.
