Former New England Patriots tight end Aaron Hernandez was found dead in a Massachusetts prison on Wednesday.
The 27-year-old former NFL star killed himself while serving a life sentence. He was convicted in 2013 of killing Odin Lloyd.
On Wednesday, speaking on "SportsCenter," ESPN's Dan Le Batard succinctly and brutally described that tragedy of Hernandez and why the "solution" to it all "makes sense."
"I can summon empathy and understanding for just about anybody," Le Batard began. "And in this instance, what I was looking at is, man, if that guy can be so flippant about other lives, then it would make sense that after ruining his life, his solution to the pain that he had caused everybody was to take his own life.
