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."
