Cincinnati Bengals' Chris Henry Dies

One day after suffering serious injuries from falling out of the back of a pickup truck during a domestic dispute, Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Chris Henry has died at the age of 26.

This is a very sad story. I wonder what will happen with the Bengals game this weekend against the Chargers.

From ESPN:

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.” They wouldn’t identify the woman, and no charges were immediately filed.

“Detectives continue to work diligently on this active investigation,” police said in a statement Thursday announcing Henry’s death.

Henry is engaged to Loleini Tonga, and the couple has been raising three children. Tonga’s MySpace page identifies herself as “Mrs. C. Henry” and has a picture of her next to a person who appears to be Henry. She also has a post from Tuesday talking about buying wedding rings.
