Hernandez's former agent: 'Absolutely no chance he took his own life'
One of Aaron Hernandez's former agents, Brian Murphy, tweeted Wednesday his disbelief that the ex-NFL star had committed suicide in his prison cell earlier that day, saying Hernandez "would never take his own life."
Absolutely no chance he took his own life. Chico was not a saint, but my family and I loved him and he would never take his own life.

An anonymous former teammate of Hernandez shared Murphy's opinion:
Another former teammate of Aaron Hernandez I spoke with this am having a hard time believing he took his own life: "I am not buying it."

That former Pats teammate added: "I'll never believe (Aaron Hernandez) went out that way. Yes he has emotions, but he's not wired like that"

The former New England Patriots tight end was already serving a life sentence for murder, but just days ago had been found not guilty in a separate double murder case.
Hernandez's lawyer said after the latest trial's conclusion that he'd be looking into appeal options for the 2013 killing of Odin Lloyd.
