The former New England Patriot’s player hung himself on April 19 in his cell at the Souza-Baranowski Correctional Center. Before his death, Aaron Hernandez reportedly penned three different suicide notes. The first letter, seen above, was addressed to his fiancée. However, there has been controversy as to who are the actual recipients of the second and third letters.
The initial reports claimed that the other suicide notes were addressed to Hernandez’s 4-year-old daughter and the last one to his rumored prison boyfriend. Later reports claimed that the third letter was meant for Hernandez’s lawyer, Jose Baez.
Aaron Hernandez’s legal team has been busy battling the media firestorm regarding the private, and reportedly inaccurate, information about Hernandez that has leaked in the media.
George Leontire, one of the Hernandez family’s lawyers, said, “Individuals within the government who are leaking such information are in violation of the policies and procedures of their respective agencies and should be immediately terminated.”
Before committing suicide, Aaron Hernandez was serving a life sentence without the possibility of parole for the 2013 murder of Odin Lloyd. Only days before his death, the 27-year-old was found not guilty of the 2012 double murder of two Boston men.
