MYSTERY OVER NFL STAR’S DEATH
Boston, April 20: Aaron Hernandez’s death in prison — just days after the former NFL star was cleared of additional murder charges — remains shrouded in mystery.
Authorities offered few answers after the 27-yearo l d Hernandez was found hanging from a bedsheet on Thursday in his cell in a maximumsecurity prison in Massachusetts. He was serving a life sentence for the 2013 slaying of a onetime friend.
His death came hours before his former New England Patriots teammates visited the White House to celebrate their Super Bowl victory. Hernandez died five days after a jury acquitted him in the 2012 shooting deaths of two men whom prosecutors alleged he gunned down after one accidentally spilled a drink on him at a Boston nightclub.
