What we do know is that Aaron Hernandez was an exceptional escape artist. On the football field, he was elusive and difficult to catch. His life was also marked by a series of nearly unanswerable questions, including a shooting in Florida and a suspected double murder in Boston that he appeared to have evaded justice for.
"By killing himself, he escaped a long life behind bars," as pointed out in James Patterson's book. Hernandez's death was another form of fleeing, this time from incarceration, ending a tumultuous life filled with crime, controversy, and unanswered questions.
