This guy did not kill himself out of guilt, more like he wanted an out for the relentless beatings and pumpings that he would have to endure every day for the rest of his life.  All the roids' in the world are not going to protect him in prison.  The men Hernandez murdered has gang friends in prison including many in black gangs who wanted revenge and his fame in the NFL only magnifies that hate in prison.  They wanted Hernandez alive so he could experience hell and if they were going to take out Hernandez in prison, like Jeffrey Dahmer
they would not stage a fake suicide, rather it would be a vicious shiv attack or beating which the attackers could take credit and gain a positive prison rap from their fellow inmates.  The guy who took out Dahmer in prison is a hero to many, including many American citizens, the murdered victims families and the prison guards and warden who many felt execution was the only real solution for Dahmer.
