Aaron Hernandez's Body Moving to Bristol: Report
BREAKING: The Bristol Central High School graduate's death was ruled a suicide by Massachusetts officials Thursday.
BRISTOL, CT — Aaron Hernandez's body will be relocated to the O'Brien Funeral Home in Bristol on Saturday, reports NBC Connecticut. Hernandez's body was found in a Massachusetts prison cell after he allegedly hung himself with a bed sheet in what was ruled Thursday as a suicide.
Hernandez's body is being held at the Faggas Funeral Home in Watertown, MA, and is expected at the Bristol funeral home on Saturday. The former New England Patriots tight end is a graduate of Bristol Central High School.
A lawyer for Hernandez, who was convicted of the murder of Odin Lloyd in 2015, will ask a court to have his client's murder conviction erased. Massachusetts law allows convictions of defendants who die before the completion of their appeals process to be vacated.
