The saga surrounding Aaron Hernandez — whose apparent suicide Wednesday brought a stunning end to the life of a once-celebrated NFL player — is far from over. Family attorney Jose Baez said Thursday he may file a lawsuit against the Massachusetts medical examiner's office after claiming they have refused to turn over Hernandez's brain to Boston University for a study on chronic traumatic encephalopathy. "It is our position that they are holding Aaron Hernandez's brain illegally," Baez said at a news conference in front of the office.
