It just doesn’t stop when it comes to Aaron Hernandez, it’s been one thing after another. Yesterday we learned that another one of Aaron’s associates died — making that the 3rd person in 6 months (yikes) and now the family of Odin Lloyd has filed a wrongful death lawsuit against Hernandez.

Via ESPN:
Former New England Patriots tight end Aaron Hernandez has been sued by the family of a man he’s accused of killing while police investigate the death of another person on the periphery of that case.
The wrongful-death lawsuit was filed Monday in Superior Court in New Bedford, Mass., according to The Herald-News, based in nearby Fall River.
Hernandez has pleaded not guilty to murder in the June 17 shooting death of Odin Lloyd, a semi-professional football player who was dating the sister of Hernandez’s girlfriend. He is held without bail.
The lawsuit alleges Hernandez “maliciously, willfully, wantonly, recklessly or by gross negligence caused Odin Lloyd to suffer personal injuries that directly resulted in his death.”
The Lloyd family’s attorney, Kevin J. Phelan, declined to comment on Tuesday. A message was left with a law firm that has represented Hernandez.
