RIP: Chris Henry

Sandra Rose December 17, 2009

Chris Henry, the talented but troubled Cincinnati Bengals player who was arrested 5 times in 14 months, has died of head inuries suffered when he tumbled out of the back of a pickup truck in Cincinatti in what police are calling a domestic dispute between the wide receiver and his fiancee.

Henry died at 6:36 a.m. this morning after fighting for his life for 24 hours. He 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 pickup 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.”

RIP Chris

Why is that a lot of people seem to die around Christmas time. Is there a curse on the world around that time? Anyway I feel sorry that he had to die at the hands of someone he loved. So sad. May God be with his family!

I read her myspace page Mrs C. Henry and she talks about staying strapped because folks try to try her. She says she loved her man and was into her family. So sad!!!

I was wondering the same thing this a.m. when I was thinking about Charlie Murphy’s wife. What a sad time!!
laterthannever

Maybe she was running from him? If they were having a fight she must have been trying to avoid further conflict by driving off. Him jumping in the truck instigated further conflict… could have been afraid for her life/safety.

/speculating.

Whatever happened, its a tragedy.

@Ms Kayla

I lost my Grandfather around Christmas one year, and we buried him on Christmas Eve. I will never forget it. It’s realy sad that we see a increase in death around what is suppose to be a joyous time of year.

He had a broke arm right? Jumping on back of a truck with one arm would cause him to fall….RIP his family is in my prayers

RIP Chris Henry. So sad smh…

If they do press charges, I wonder if she knew he was in the truck bed but deliberately drove crazy to shake him off. Granted, if it is true that he jumped in the back then he shouldve considered safety first, but obviously if he fell off due to head trauma and died, then she is partially responsible.
Mz.Williams

This is so sad now she has to live with this for the rest of her life. How is she going to explain to the kids what happen. So sad their in my prayers

Thats what I was saying also.
I know I look in my review mirror and if she had she wld have seen him back there.

He was found in the road, meaning she left him. Only they know what happen but WE HAVE TO DO BETTER PEOPLE! Stop arguing and getting in it.

@ Crislex,

The other day on Youtube I saw a video you did a year ago on the men who bash Black women on YT. You did a great job.

@rtb

I am not trying to start anything with you. I am not the type. Have some respect. Better yet why don’t you go and read a different blog. I will not use this time as time to argue with you. I will not respond to anything further you have to say. Their is a family that is grieving and I am not going to use this as entertainment time.

Thanks!

That was my thought (minus the tat)
This is sad. I have no words right now.

I won’t wrap myself around this story and the details of what did or did not happen. Loss is loss – at the end of the day this is a father, someone’s son, brother,cousin etc.

RIP Chris

It’s been reported as a DV case and he was probably trying to stop her from leaving.

@ Spinal

Sorry for your loss. I would hate to lose anyone at anytime but not during this time of the year. I can’t imagine. We are supposed to celebrate Christmas and New Year but now this family and many more are mourning death. Such a sad story.

I also hate the news has to highlight the fact that this kid had been arrested 5 times. They do this to our black men all the time. Like there life was less important because they were in so much trouble. Jeez!

Good Morning all!

So young and a senseless death.May he rest in peace.
My thoughts and prayers to the family.

@Ms. Kayla

I feel the say way about how the media tries to brake down our black men. They did the same thing to Michael Jackson when he die. Whatever this people have done in their life God will be the judge of that. But they should at least show the families some respect. I mean he isn’t even in the casket yet or better yet he probally just getting to the morgue and the already trying to make him look bad. How pathetic.

***************************

I agree. I was just reading a report on him but thank goodness they highlighted that he had started to change and spend more time with her and the children.

The Bengals gave him another chance and he changed. And this happened. So sad

RIP Chris….such a sad story!

This is so sad. I’m thinking though that she had to hear him jump on the truck. So she knew he was back there. At what point did she realize he fell off and why not go back?
miss_meka

I wonder if she realized he was in the bed of the truck and if so why did she keep going after he fell. so sad. RIP

RIP Chris Henry. Such an unfortunate and untimely lost.

with attorneymom…..she’s not white, but I don’t think she’s black either. She get a lesser charge, but either way they’re going to charge b/c her @$$ is not white

I heard that another player from this football team recently lost his wife. That team is suffering through a lot and everyone should for them.
Mahogany03

*typo* She may get a lesser charge
KaraZ

I feel for his children and his fiancee, they will have a had time getting over the manner of his death and the suddenness of it.
Last night the police said they weren’t charging Loileni Tonga (sp) with anything, but now that he actually died, I wonder if they’ll take the same stance.
Kp

I thought I read that she won’t be charged. Also there are reports that say the name of the driver wasn’t released and then in the same article release the name of his finacee. What is that about?
M_promp2

I heard homicide is investigating, which tells me that she may be charged…….dayuuum

I live in Charlotte NC and this woman has a record of domestic violence and public drunkeness. She brags about beating dudes a**es. She will be charged by the end of this day. Trust.

So sad. R.I.P. My prayers for all of the family and friends, especially the children who are so young they will only know their father through the memories of others…I am 26 as well and it lets me know that nothing is assured to you. Live everyday for God and live everyday to the fullest.
