Attorneys are now questioning reports that Aaron Hernandez suicided in his Massachusetts prison cell. The former football player was reportedly found hanging. Hernandez was convicted of a 2013 murder, and was serving life in prison, but had just been acquitted of a separate murder earlier this month. His crimes will be voided because of the suicide, so legally he died an “innocent” man. But Hernandez’s family says they have no reason to believe he was suicidal, and now his lawyers are challenging the M.E. report in court. Could there be foul play?
