Aaron Hernandez killed himself in prison over fears that his secret gay sex life was about to be exposed — just days after the NFL killer was viciously mocked on a Boston radio sports show for having gay lovers! The body of Hernandez — serving a life sentence for the murder of semi-pro footballer Odin Lloyd — was found hanging in his prison cell, a few miles from the stadium where he earned millions as a tight end for the New England Patriots.

As earlier revealed by
