Henry

CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- Charlotte-Mecklenburg police say Cincinnati Bengals receiver Chris Henry has died, one day after suffering serious injuries upon falling out of the back of a pickup truck in what authorities describe as a domestic dispute with his fiancee.

Police say Henry died at 6:36 a.m. Thursday. Henry was 26.

Away from the team because of a broken forearm, Henry was rushed to the hospital Wednesday after being found on a residential road. Police say a dispute began at a home about a half-mile away, and Henry jumped into the bed of the truck as his fiancee was driving away from the residence.

Police said at some point when she was driving, Henry "came out of the back of the vehicle."

WHAT THE HELL DOES THIS HAVE TO DO WITH BEING A "THUG" ?
From the report, he had a fight with his fiancee. Happens to a lot of couples. He wasn't hiphopping around with Ray Lewis or Snoop Dog. :rolleyes:

Henry had been involved in a string of legal troubles during his professional career, which include several arrests for such offenses as driving under the influence, marijuana possession, assault, and criminal damaging. Excuse me if I spoke the truth. Your right, he isn't a thug he is a role model.:tu

Some needs to read into things before they get so angry. :2

Or someone can explain their POV.

Either way it sucks to have your life ended at 26.

What a shame, it seemed like he was turning his life around.

While it seemed he was turning a new leaf, who knows if the characteristics that caused this past bad behavior may have re-surfaced and caused the issues that led to him jumping into the back of a pick up truck, being driven by an angry woman. It is not like he died of natural causes. Still a shame to see a talented young man die tragically and not something anyone deserves.

No one was saying that he lived an exemplary lifestyle, but the accident that ended his life wasn't an incident of thuggish behavior (from what we know).

Despite how he died, I think that this thread should be respectful about the loss of life, no matter how it was lost.


Rest in Peace, brother.

Let's not focus on how he lived his life. There's no need to get angry. I was a fan of Chris Henry actually. I thought he had some very raw talent and thought he was getting back on track. Rest in Peace.

On a local Charlotte news station (WCNC) just now, a former DMV employee was just interviewed and all this happened in front of his house. He said he heard Chris yelling over and over that he just wanted to talk and that if she took off he would throw himself out and kill himself. Then she took off.

Very tragic story.

[chippewastud79]

Very tragic. Chris was someone who I considered a friend. Say whatever you want about his character and off-field issues, but deep down he was a good person. One of the most athletic and raw-talented individuals I have ever met and didn't deserve for it to end like it did. Seemed like he had his life on the right track and finally seemed comfortable with who he was. Very sad despite the situation, still leaves behind kids and his fiance will have to live with what happened for the rest of her life. :(

[NCRadioMan]

Homicide detectives have now been assigned to investigate the death.

Rip :(

Homicide detectives have now been assigned to investigate the death.
I'm not surprised.

I'm not surprised.

What is yet sadder about this incident is that if there are charges files against her, yet more victims via those children.

[shilala]

Life is short. We all get a last breath.
I hope mine isn't after fighting with my girlfriend in the back of a pickup.
Prayers for Chris and his family. :tu
