Let's not. I've been seeing a few stories reporting that they may now get paid for their loss.

Per MA law, if you die while under the appeals process, your status is reverted back to what it was when the whole case started. So Aaron Hernandez would have died, if the precedent is true for suicide, a man not convicted of murder seeking an appeal but rather a man merely charged with murder. 

Both the Hernandez estate and Llyod family now have their lawyers looking into if this means the Hernandez estate is now entitled to the base pay of AH's contract and his pension. If so, the Llyod family will likely sue for damages in civil court. 

So Aaron Hernandez's suicide may have been to get his daughter a few million.
