His death came just days after the 27-year-old athlete was acquitted in a second murder case. Hernandez had been housed in a single cell in a general population unit at the maximum-security state prison in Shirley. Fallon said that he was not aware of any suicide note and that officials had no reason to believe Hernandez was suicidal. At the White House ceremony in the afternoon, President Donald Trump congratulated the Super Bowl champions but made no mention of Hernandez. It makes you wonder what really went on behind those walls in prison."
