CHARLOTTE, N.C. — 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.Charlotte-Mecklenburg police said Henry died at 6:36 a.m. today. Henry was 26.
Henry was rushed to the hospital Wednesday after being found on a residential road “apparently suffering life-threatening injuries,” according to police.
Police said 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.” 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 today 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. A neighbor said Wednesday that the Tonga family owns the home where police say the incident began. Charlotte is home to his fiancee’s parents.
fuck ESPN.com for reporting Chris Henry's death and feeling the need to mention his run ins with the law, being ejected from a college game, and his relationship with Adam Jones. I bet when Ty Cobb died, the reports failed to mention he was a racist.. idiots. They Did the same shit with Sean Taylor, fucking tasteless. I guess when Tiger Woods dies, he wont be remembered as the greatest golfer ever, or the Athlete of the Decade (00-09), he will be remembered for taking down a number of women that weren't his wife.
