Former NFL Player Aaron Hernandez Commits Suicide In His Prison Cell

 

Former NFL player Aaron Hernandez was found hanging in his prison cell early Wednesday morning.

According to CNN, the Massachusetts Corrections Department said the 27-year-old was found hanging from a bed sheet attached to a window around 3:05 am at the Souza-Baranowski prison.

In a statement, it read, “Lifesaving techniques were attempted on Mr. Hernandez, and he was transported to UMass Leominster, where he was pronounced dead at 4:07 a.m.”

Hernandez was in his cell alone in a general population wing. The statement continued to state that he “attempted to block his door from the inside by jamming the door with various items.”

Hernandez was serving a time in prison for a 2013 murder; he was recently acquitted in a separate murder case.

 

This story is still developing as the Massachusetts Police are investigating his death.
