More details are emerging following ex-Patriots tight end Aaron Hernandez'  Wednesday morning prison cell suicide, as news leaks out from the investigation into his death. The newest development is that Hernandez is said to have written "John 3:16" on his forehead before killing himself. While some people have reported that Hernandez wrote the message in his own blood, it was actually inked onto his face with "blood red marker":

That very famous verse says "For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life." Investigators are also looking into the possibility that Hernandez smoked synthetic pot before hanging himself with a bed sheet:
