A month after his death, his fiance broke her silence and granted an interview with Dr. Phil. The bereaved Shaynna said she spoke to Hernandez the night before his death.

He was excited to return home, and Shyanna feels that there is more to his death. "I don't think this was a suicide," she said, adding that Hernandez was positive.

"They informed me that indeed Aaron was deceased, and first I thought it was a hoax, that it was a cruel person playing a trick on me."
