Aaron Hernandez, the ex-NFL star and convicted killer who fell from grace amid a pair of murder trials, hanged himself to death inside his Massachusetts prison cell early Wednesday, officials said. Corrections officers found the 27-year-old former tight end for the New England Patriots hanging from a bed sheet within his single cell at the Souza Baranowski Correctional Center, the state’s Department of Corrections said in a statement. Hernandez was serving a life sentence for a murder conviction and had just been acquitted of a separate double murder days ago.
