Although Hernandez was already serving a life sentence without parole for killing Lloyd, his attorneys were hopeful that Hernandez had a chance to be released from prison soon because the 2013 conviction was being automatically reviewed by the state's highest court.
When officials at the Souza-Baranowski Correctional Center in MA responded to Aaron's cell Wednesday morning, the verse John 3:16 was scribbled above his eyes, this according to WBZ Boston.
A prison spokesman told the Boston Globe that Hernandez had not been on a suicide watch and did not indicate that he meant to harm himself.
Coincidentally, Hernandez spoke about Tebow in his final media availability with the Patriots before he was arrested for Lloyd's murder in June of 2013.
This seemingly sky rocketing career came to a screeching halt when he was investigated by police in connection to Lloyd's murder until they found that Hernandez was the trigger man. Hernandez hadn't given any indication that he might try to take his own life, Department of Correction spokesperson Christopher Fallon said "If he had made any kind of statement, he would have not been in that unit".
His death left friends, family and his legal team in disbelief, searching for an explanation. Mr. Hernandez hanged himself utilizing a bed sheet that he attached to his cell window. Authorities tried to revive the former New England Patriots tight end, and he was pronounced dead at UMass Memorial - HealthAlliance Hospital in Leominster at 4:07 a.m.

Last week, Hernandez was acquitted in the 2012 drive-by shootings of two men in Boston. As the jury was deliberating, cameras spied Hernandez blowing kisses to the young daughter he fathered with fiancee Shayanna Jenkins.
Lloyd was shot six times and died in an industrial park less than a mile from Hernandez's home.
Hernadez's lawyer, Brian Murphy, refutes that he had taken his own life, and said, "Chico was not a saint, but my family and I loved him and he would never take his own life". The first time they played with a gun, or got into a fight at school, as we hear so often in news stories when violent acts are committed?
Miami Dolphins center Mike Pouncey said on Instagram that he spoke with his former college teammate a day earlier.
Friends also were grieving in CT, where Hernandez was raised.
After the verdicts were read, Hernandez turned to Jenkins and mouthed, "I love you".
The news was greeted with disbelief, the report of suicide stunning those of us who didn't know Hernandez at all and stunning more the people who knew him so well. "I don't believe that he would have killed himself". "It just doesn't add up".
