Aaron Murray Found Out His Father Had Cancer, Had House Vandalized This Weekend in Addition to South Carolina Loss

"Murray found out that his father, Denny Murray, had been diagnosed with thyroid cancer. “Papa Murray,” as Aaron referred to him in another tweet, is undergoing surgery today at the Moffit Cancer Center in Tampa. Apparently Denny Murray had been diagnosed “a few weeks ago,” but the parents only told Aaron on Sunday. Aaron Murray and his brother drove to Tampa yesterday."
