‘Morning Joe’: Aaron Hernandez Found Dead in Prison Cell

SCARBOROUGH: “We've got some breaking news on former NFL star Aaron Hernandez who is dead. Massachusetts prison officials say Hernandez was discovered hanged in his cell by officers early this morning. They say he was taken to an area hospital where he was pronounced dead. The former New England Patriot was acquitted of murder charges last week for the 2012 deadly shooting of two men outside a Boston nightclub. But Hernandez was already serving a mandatory life sentence for the 2013 murder of one of his friends. Gene, just a vastly talented star, but just so troubled obviously, and that — those stories went all the way back to college when he was in Florida.”
