Police are awaiting a toxicology report before ruling on a cause of death for a Bristol woman with ties to former NFL vet and current accused killer Aaron Hernandez, according to the Hartford Courant.
Tabitha Perry's death comes less than six months after she survived a separate car crash last June that killed the cousin of the former New England Patriots star. Authorities responded earlier this month to a 911 call in Southington, arriving on the scene to find Perry, 27, unconscious and not breathing.
In the days after alleged Hernandez victim Odin Lloyd's body was found less than a mile away from his North Attleborough mansion, Massachusetts police moved to interview Perry about her relationship with the 24-year-old former Florida star.
Perry was previously injured in a June 30 car accident that also killed Thaddeus Singleton III, who lost control of his car and flew 100 feet through the air before crashing into the side of Farmington Country Club. Singleton and Perry had a child together, but he was married to Tanya Singleton, a cousin of Hernandez who also faces an accessory charge in the Lloyd killing.
The Courant reports police have since described Thaddeus Singleton as the "nexus" of Hernandez's alleged Bristol-based crime network, adding that he is also the man responsible for connecting Hernandez and his alleged two accomplices in the Lloyd killing, Ernest Wallace and Carlos Ortiz.
According to The Courant, Wallace and Ortiz once resided with the Singletons at a home owned by Hernandez that police searched multiple times over the course of the Lloyd investigation. Hernandez has also been fingered as a suspect in a 2012 drive-by shooting that killed two men in Boston. Police later recovered a vehicle believed to be the one used in the crime stored in the garage of a home owned by Hernandez's uncle, Andres Valderrama.
