One of the more memorable images of the craziness surrounding Aaron Hernandez earlier this summer was the silver SUV that was being towed from Aaron Hernandez's uncle's home because of its suspected connection to a double murder. It's a shame his uncle caught some attention under such circumstances, and on Saturday, he made headlines for even more tragic conditions. Robert Valentine died from head injuries after being thrown from his moped when he struck a curve.

The strange part about this accident is that Valentine is the second person close to the investigation to die from a vehicular incident. Thaddeus Singleton, a person police were aiming to question, died on June 30 from a car crash. It's weird, but on the other hand we can't imagine what Terri Hernandez must be going through after losing her brother and possibly her son (Aaron) to imprisonment.
