Jose Baez—who represented Hernandez at his double-murder trial that ultimately resulted in a not guilty verdict last week—also suggested foul play could have been a factor.
According to TMZ Sports, Baez "has launched an investigation on behalf of Hernandez family and they are not buying the suicide story" and "believes this could be a murder either by inmates or the folks who run the prison."
Hernandez had been serving a life sentence without chance of parole after he was found guilty in the 2013 murder of semi-pro football player Odin Lloyd.
