The statement from the correctional center reported, “Mr. Hernandez was in a single cell in a general population unit. Mr. Hernandez hanged himself utilizing a bedsheet 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 spokesperson for the Department of Corrections, Christopher Fallon, revealed that Aaron Hernandez was not on suicide watch and if he had revealed he was thinking about hurting himself, he would not have been in a cell alone. While they have been searching his cell, they have yet to find a suicide note or any evidence that suspects foul play.
Aaron Hernandez’s suicide comes less than a week after he was acquitted for murdering both Daniel de Abreu and Safiro Furtado in 2012. Nevertheless, he was serving life in prison, without parole, for murdering Odin L. Llyod in 2013.
Today the Patriots are expected to be at the White House to meet President Donald J. Trump and celebrate winning the Super Bowl.
