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."

Damn, the Patriots will be at the White House today also

The New England Patriots will become the first champions to visit the White House under President Donald Trump. Tuesday’s visit marks the first championship team that Trump will host in Washington D.C..
But when the Patriots line up for their photo opportunity, there will be at least six players missing.
Devin McCourty, LeGarrette Blount, Alan Branch, Dont'a Hightower, Chris Long and Martellus Bennett have said they won't be attending. All but Hightower have expressed dismay over Trump and have cited political reasons as their decision not to attend.
In 2015, quarterback Tom Brady skipped the White House visit with former President Barack Obama. Brady said he had a family commitment and the decision was not political.
Brady is expected to make the trip this year. His friendship with Trump is well documented.
The Pats will meet Trump in the Oval Office at 1 p.m. before heading out onto the South Lawn for the event. -
No ? why
-
Yall just willing to believe that he off'd himself. But got all kinda theory's for Sandra Bland...yall mad selective
-
Is it 100% that he offed himself? Seems kinda strange after getting off for 2 more murders.

? move if he killed himself.
IMO he knew he wasn't going to win that appeal regardless of beating the other case.
Crazy cause he beat the double murder case and that is the reason they say he killed Odin Loyd. -

Possibly. Quite possible depending on the prison they could actually have had contact visits which means no glass.
Now all that child will ever get is the opinion of other people about him and never have him to explain anything to them in his own words.
Just because he ? up doesn't mean he wouldn't have anything of substance to add to that child's life. -
