Shayanna Jenkins-Hernandez, the fiancee of former New England Patriots tight end Aaron Hernandez, is questioning the 27-year-old's official cause of death after his body was discovered hanging in his prison cell April 19.

The Worcester County District Attorney's Office announced Hernandez's cause of death was suicide.

Speaking to Dr. Phil on his television program (h/t Shutdown Corner's Jay Busbee), Jenkins-Hernandez said she didn't believe Hernandez killed himself.

"It's just not the Aaron that I know," she said. "I think that if he would have done something like this, it would have been at his worst, and I felt like we were, like it was looking so bright.
