On Friday, new reports surfaced alleging that Aaron Hernandez had written a suicide note to hisย prison boyfriendย before hanging himself using bedsheets in his cell.

The fact that Hernandez had such a boyfriend, and that he was apparently bisexual, has emerged in some reports as a possible motive for murder in considering the death of Odin Lloyd. Multiple law enforcement sources have confirmed that Lloyd knew about Hernandezโ€™s sexuality, withย The New York Daily Newsย positing fromย Newsweekย reports that this could have been a factor in Lloydโ€™s murder.

Lloydโ€™s mother,ย Ursula Ward, said on ย Friday that Hernandezโ€™s suicide on Wednesday had opened up fresh wounds in the loss of her son.

โ€œI lost my son, the love of my life,โ€ she said. โ€œIโ€™ll never see him again.โ€

As the investigation continues into Hernandezโ€™s apparent suicide,ย Bristol Superior Court Judge Thomas McGuire has also recently granted a request by Hernandezโ€™ former fiancee toย preserve certain evidence linked to his death. Herndandezโ€™ family will be conducting their own investigation into his death to determine if it was really a suicide or if there was foul play involved.
