The Patriots cut him before he was ever convicted. If there was guaranteed money that the Patriots had to pay out, nothing he did after he was cut and no longer under contract matters.
I don't know how the whole situation with the bonus money shakes out but him committing suicide pretty much puts an end to the civil lawsuits against him and allows his family to retain whatever money they happened to have left.
