Finding it hard to imagine how he would have been hung against his own will. Dude was a big, NFL sized guy. Only thing I could think of is someone knocking him out? certainly that would show up in autopsy.

I think it's more likely he did kill himself... but it should still be looked into. Alarming he made his fair share of enemies in jail.
How does killing people in cold blood make you a dumbass?
That's putting it very lightly.
It's not smart to kill people? And he seemed to think he wouldn't get caught. Screams dumbass to me.
If people want me to not "sugarcoat" it, yes, he was a cold-blooded murderer. Jesus.

He has that look on his face because the murder he was serving for was to cover up these murders. The not guilty verdict is him realizing that all he had to do to was literally nothing and he would of got off scott free, instead he kept playing gangster and got caught.
One thing I don't understand is what could he do for his daughter if he was still alive? He could possibly influence her on his gang activities and put her on the same path. It's kind of overrated but you don't need your parents to have a good life , people can make it without them. You just need support from other sources.

Truly saddening affair. I feel fro him and his family.
Are you really trying to convince us that it's good that this little four year old lost her father to suicide and prison?

he legitimately murdered people.
This is a pretty good analysis actually. I'd forgotten about the particulars of the cases since it's been a while since the charges were brought up.
I think he did it because he realized the lawyer fees would eventually bankrupt him and directly affect the well-being of his daughter and fiancee.

Was just excited about winning his double murder case and optimistic about getting an appeal granted for a retrial from his previous case and he killed himself?

And? That doesn't mean this situation isn't sad? Even murderers deserve empathy and understanding. Imagine the pain his family is going through. You may think his murders absolves him and his family from understanding and empathy but it's the opposite. He went through real pain in order to get to this point, and the fact that you say it's completely okay is sickening.

I imagine the pain that the family of those he murdered must have had. Be as flustered as you want. I don't care about murderers. They are murderers. Line in the sand is drawn there.

The guy was a monster no doubt. But suicide affects the family and he had a kid right?
You can wish a lot of shit on people but leave suicide off the wishlist please.
She's four , she won't remember him. She has her mom and grandparents. Hopefully they raise her right and send her on the right path. Her father was a bad dude and won't have that bad influence to put things in her head if she were to visit him.
Fuck him
His family is fine, but him? Hell no, fuck him. Only sad the fucker didn't live and die in prison deciding to end his own sad pitiful life.

And that makes this situation...good? This is just incredibly sad and the fact you're vindictive and saying "well, she won't remember him this is good news" to someone killing themselves is completely lacking any shred of morality.

The suicide makes some sense in that light, like that picture is him finally understanding how much he fucked up and its his fault alone.

In the long run its a good thing. She would grow up wanting to see him, having her head filled with nonsense etc etc. She is going to grow up and one day and find out her father was a monster. That is enough to deal with. Her life is fucked regardless mental state wise. From what I've been hearing the mother ain't that great of an individual either.
Oh won't somebody think of the convicted murderers!?

Poor. Aaron. Hernandez.
Hernandez chose to commit murder and he chose to end his life. He made life choices that separated him from his daughter forever. I have no sympathy for fathers whose actions show he had absolutely no intention of acting like one.
I'm not saying that money creates happiness but she will inherit whatever fortune he had and will be presented with a greater opportunity that most kids with both parents never experience. My father is also in jail for terrible things and as an adult I could careless about him and never see him again either.

She'll be reminded of him by other people. At four years old you can't block out important stuff like this.

No, that's exactly what you're saying.
That's a terrible situation, but I think you're applying your own unique situation to other people. The fact he murdered people to begin with is unfortunate and sad. Much less throwing his life away and tearing his family apart. And now he kills himself and his daughter is four years old and cognizant enough to remember it the rest of her life?
It's just sad man, and none of your "well, good, she's set for life" makes it any less sad.

Arguably, she's better off not having a murderer in her life at all. Fucked up that she'd be visiting him in prison for a good chunk of her life. I'm sure it will have negative impacts on her life, but so would him being alive. If her family is decent, they'll work to put him behind her. The piece of shit put his kid in this situation in the first place. He had more victims than just who he murdered.
I think he killed Odin before his daughter was born.
please understand

Exactly. Even murderers are people, and this man killed himself. This doesn't absolve him from his crimes but he was a human too.
So why even have a daughter to begin with? Did he think having a kid would absolve him of his actions?
Pretty sure that's sarcasm Cindi.
Dumbass? Screams calculating sociopath to me.

I'm certainly not trying to be combative here, but it's almost as if people are going overboard on the sympathy for him. Of course it's sad and families were affected on both sides of the gun. I'd guarantee that if the story was about a random someone's racist father who was convicted of murder that ended up committing suicide, this thread would be filled with "good riddance" vibes.
I certainly don't think "good riddance" in this case, but have a hard time garnering a lot of emotion towards it. He played with fire, got burned and threw away his family and career in the process. He was an active participant and likely understood the risks involved with playing gangster with people.

I'd say his actions made him less than human. Give in to your animal nature, don't be surprised when people treat you like one.

Well he is a human...apparently that's all you need for sympathy....no matter what you did.

What does that even mean?
Once you start taking lives for personal gain or feeling "disrespected"
You are now a monster, not a human.
People with money of course have the capacity to screw up like OJ and Hernandez but if you're poor and in the gutter your likeliness of joining a gang or being a career criminal is increased dramatically. That's the point I'm trying to make.
No Idea, but I view him throwing away his life before he had one.

What about the familes of the victims, I don't see you mentioning them. Also what about the victims themselves who lost their lives because of that idiot. You victimize the murderer here and not the actualy victims.

All I'm saying is there exists a pervading lack of understanding on these boards and you people can do better. Many of the same people who cheered when Trump voters with high potentiality for getting cancer had the possibility of losing health insurance are offering similar pleas as to why this is actually a good situation for his family and loved ones in this thread. It is gross.
I haven't brought up the victims because they've been dead for a long time and have been laid to rest. Because I haven't mentioned his victims doesn't mean I don't think they're worth mourning over. I just find the entire thing sad in general and I feel for everyone involved.

Yeah sorry no.
I could imagine a post on OldGAF circa 1945
"Adolf Hitler killed himself"
"Well even murderers are people and this doesn't absolve him of his crimes but he was a human too"
If that sounds ridiculous than I feel like we'd be disagreeing over just how many murders a person has to commit before you don't feel sympathy for him. I think for most of us, that line ends prior to someone committing murder and not after.
