BOSTON -- Former NFL star Aaron Hernandez, who was serving a life sentence for a murder conviction and just days ago was acquitted of a double murder, died after hanging himself in his prison cell early Wednesday, Massachusetts prisons officials said.

Hernandez, 27, was found by guards in his cell at the Souza-Baranowski Correctional Center in Shirley just after 3 a.m., Department of Correction spokesman Christopher Fallon said in a statement.

What a waste of talent. I heard his football skills could have made him rich. So sad for his daughter.

First heard about this on a talk radio show. Can't say I feel too sorry for him.

God have mercy.

Tragic.

Praying for all his family and all who knew and loved him at this most tragic time.

He had a lot of issues apparently and wasn't just some dude who murdered people, but my thoughts since the beginning was he is an idiot who had the world as his oyster and threw it all away over nothing.

ESPN never let's a good story die. On and on they go about the most insignificant stories. Imagine how long something like this will be a regular discussion.

He was just "some dude who murdered people"....it's those actions which have defined his life, sadly, not his career in sports.
