Those Close To Aaron Hernandez Don’t Believe He Committed Suicide

Five days after former NFL star Aaron Hernandez was found not guilty for a double murder that took place in 2012, the ex-New England Patriots tight end was found dead in his prison cell in an apparent suicide.

Prison officials found the 27-year-old, who was serving a life sentence for the fatal shooting of Odin Lloyd, a semi-professional football player in 2013, hanging by his bed sheet that he attached to a window.

Christopher Fallon, a spokesperson for Souza-Baranowski Correctional Center in Shirley, Boston, where Hernandez was being held, said in a statement that the ex-football player was discovered by guards just after 3 a.m. Apparently, Hernandez tried to block the entrance of his single cell with various items. He was pronounced dead at UMass Memorial-HealthAlliance Hospital an hour later. Fallon also said they were not aware that he was in danger to himself and therefore was not on suicide watch. While no suicide note was apparently found, his death will be investigated.

The news of his suicide is a bit shocking considering he had just been acquitted of a double murder and was seen being very emotional at the conclusion of the trial.

The timing and circumstances of Hernandez’s death have created skepticism among those close to the former NFL star.

Jose Baez, the lawyer responsible for Hernandez’s recent double-murder charge acquittal, told the Boston Herald:

“The family and legal team is shocked and surprised at the news of Aaron’s death. There were no conversations or correspondence from Aaron to his family or legal team that would have indicated anything like this was possible. Aaron was looking forward to an opportunity for a second chance to prove his innocence. Those who love and care about him are heartbroken and determined to find the truth surrounding his untimely death. We request that authorities conduct a transparent and thorough investigation.”

TMZ reported that Baez alleges this “suicide” could have been a murder at the hands of fellow inmates or officials at the prison.

Hernandez’s former agent Bryan Murphy echoed this sentiment, saying there was “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.”

Reaction to his suicide has been mixed.

Today, some of his former New England Patriots teammates will be at the White House to celebrate their Super Bowl victory. In regards to the suicide, Stacey James, a spokesperson for the Patriots, told The Boston Globe, that they are “aware of the reports, but I don’t anticipate that we will be commenting today.”

Mike Pouncey, Hernandez’s former teammate at the University of Florida, did comment on this tragic event with the following Instagram:

Getting Yelled At By Your Mom Is So Scary, That We Decided To Turn The Things She Says Into Horror Movie Posters

By Jessica V. Garcia April 20, 2017 at 10:45 am

Whenever you do something to piss off your mom or whenever she’s in a bad mood, chances are she’ll start to express her anger with a few particular phrases. For instance, you’ll hear her say something like “Te calmas o te calmo,” or “Vas a ver cuando lleguemos a la casa.” And yes, sometimes it’s scary AF when she says these things to you. We wondered, “What if these scary ‘mom phrases’ were turned into actual scary movie posters?” So we created a few.

Check them out for yourself, and hopefully you don’t have any nightmares.

If you love scary movies, check out this flick about a mother who angrily refuses to call her son by his first name.

You probably hear this from your mom almost every single day.

If you’re more into thrillers, this movie will have you shaking with goosebumps.

As soon as you hear this, you know damn well to immediately relax and behave.

And things only get more intense with this scary flick:

This phrase is more common when you’re misbehaving somewhere out in public with your mom and she’s unable to punish you right then and there.

Warning: this one will probably give you nightmares.

And if you’re familiar with this scary-ass phrase, then you must know it doesn’t mean she’s offering you any hot chocolate or tea before you go to sleep.

You may not be able to sleep if you watch this movie:

You’ll definitely hear this coming from your mom whenever she thinks you’re crying for no good reason… or whenever you’re crying at all.

If you’re a fan of movies that are based on true stories, then this one is a must:

If you don’t want to hear this scary threat coming from your mom, then don’t disturb her and ask her to help you look for something because she’ll just assume you’re too lazy to look for it yourself.

If this one doesn’t make you scream in fear…

Yup, that’s a threat.

…then this one will definitely send tingles down your spine.

Tip: don’t take this phrase literally…that’s if you don’t want your mom to get mad at you.

After watching this movie, you won’t ever want to go out late at night. ?

There’s nothing scarier than coming home late at night, past your curfew, to an angry mom.

You may not want to go out AT ALL after watching this one:

If your mom says this to you, it’s highly advised that you don’t test her.

Just be prepared to be scared because this movie is no joke.

In other words, she isn’t dumb so don’t even think about trying to lie to her.

The scariest thing of all is…anything that happens in this movie can happen in REAL LIFE.

This phrase applies to many scenarios. For example, if you don’t wash the dishes when your mom asks you to, then you won’t be able to go out with your friends when you try to ask her for permission.

But no matter how scary all of these phrases might sound, your mom only says them to you because she loves you.

…well at least that’s what she says. *nervous laughter*
