Ted Spiker was listening to "Mike & Mike" on his usual car ride to University of Florida's campus Wednesday morning when he heard Aaron Hernandez was dead.
“I was shocked,” Spiker said.
Hernandez, who had been facing a life sentence without parole after being convicted in the murder of Odin Lloyd, was found hanged in a Massachusetts prison Wednesday morning. He was 27.
While signs point to a suicide, Hernandez's former agent Brian Murphy tweeted “Absolutely no chance he took his own life. Chico was not a saint, but my family and I loved him and he would never take his own life.
