Aaron Hernandez Had Degenerative Brain Condition (CTE)

[DiscoHeaven23 35,007]

From the New York Times

"Aaron Hernandez, the former New England Patriots tight end who committed suicide in April while serving a life sentence for murder, was found to have one of the most severe forms of C.T.E., the degenerative brain disease linked to repeated head trauma that has been found in more than 100 former N.F.L. players."

 

 

 

His family is now suing the Patriots for this. 

Players who are younger than 45 when they are found to have C.T.E. can receive as much as $4 million. Those who died after the settlement was approved in April 2015 are not eligible for an award, but Hernandez’s family could argue for an exemption.
