One possibility is he sacrificed himself for the good of his family - especially his child. IF his conviction is indeed abated and he was acquitted on the other charge, then he is "innocent" and his baby-momma (wife?) can get $$$$ from the Pats and the NFL. Also explains the sacrifice Bible Quote.

With this suicide then, he may have helped out his family and kids.
Here's the quirky rule that could make this possible-
Aaron Hernandez's murder conviction is expected to be dismissed posthumously because of a legal rule called "abatement."
That would mean, legally speaking, Aaron Hernandez died an innocent man.
But a court will vacate that conviction because Hernandez's appeal was pending, said Rosanna Cavallaro, a law professor at Suffolk University who has written about abatement.
"The idea is that if an appeal hasn't happened, there's a chance that a conviction has an error in it," she told CNN. "Rather than have someone with that incomplete decision that they're guilty, the state chooses instead to say that conviction is abated -- as if it never had happened."
The conviction's dismissal is "pro forma," or automatic, she said.
