What happened to Aaron Hernandez? Did he have CTE?
Following his Super Bowl XLVI appearance, Hernandez was arrested in 2013 on murder charges. He was accused of killing Odin Llyod and was convicted on that charge in 2015. However, Hernandez later committed suicide by hanging himself two years later. His conviction was then thrown out since he died before his appeal was heard.
Dr. Ann McKee of Boston University's CTE Center recently spoke about the degenerative disease and how it could have affected Hernandez:
"There's just a lot of impulsivity and very sudden changes in behavior."
In another report, Todd Wallack of npr.com wrote:
"He was just 27. Another possible factor is evidence that Hernandez smoked a synthetic drug called K2 in the days before his death. Nora Volkow is director of the National Institute on Drug Abuse. Volkow says K2 can have dangerous side effects, especially for people like Hernandez with brain injuries."
Considering the high-profile nature of Hernandez's case, there have been multiple developments over the years.
