OT- Cincy WR Henry Dead

[ThoughtProcess]

Cincinnati Bengals receiver Chris Henry is “battling for his life” after falling out of the back of a pickup truck Wednesday during what police described as a domestic dispute with his fiancee.
Henry was found in the road about eight miles north of downtown Charlotte “apparently suffering life-threatening injuries,” according to Charlotte-Mecklenburg police. Police spokesman Robert Fey said officers were stationed near the 26-year-old Henry’s hospital room. He had no information on Henry’s condition, but said he was alive.
“We ask everyone to pray for Chris,” agent Andy Simms of PlayersRep Sports said in a statement. “We also ask that you respect the privacy of Chris’ family. Chris is indeed battling for his life tonight, and our thoughts and prayers (are) with him during this extremely difficult time....”

Update is that he has died.

Athletes... well, actually all men, need to stay away from crazy women.

True dat. He's the one who got into the back of the truck, but whatever they argued about, it wasn't worth this.

Exactly. And if i'm hanging onto the bed of a pickup truck, SLOW DOWN OR STOP. Unless he was threatening to kill her, stop the f'ing truck.

I realize drama is great for movies, but in real life, women (and men) need to relax.

Hate to say it, but, what goes around comes around.

Great. More kids without a father.

Great. More kids without a father.

What's worse no father or a sick pedo/drunk driving father?

Whatever happened, it's very sad.

Henry had been a troubled and immature punk but had also reportedly been working hard to straighten out his life.

I guess it's safe to say that this proves she wasn't "the one."

How unfortunate and sad. He was indeed getting himself straightened out, by all accounts. My thoughts are with his family and friends and Cincy fans.

I read somewhere that he was there in Charlotte to help plan their wedding, to take place in March. The initiall call to the emergency services said something about (paraphrasing) "a guy with his arm in a sling standing up in the back of a moving pickup, trying to get the driver's attention by knocking on the window." A second call from someone else later was for "someone lying by the side of the road." (sigh)

NFP: Details

"Per the report, Henry was "annoyed" and "aggravated" about the cost of the wedding, including a photography package, and that the couple argued before Henry stormed out while leaving Tonga to take care of the details."

Guess that's not an issue anymore.

For some reason, I'm very annoyed by this whole thing. The whole thing couldve been avoided with some less crazy. STOP THE FUCKING TRUCK ALREADY!

The idea that he tried to kill himself just doesn't hold water. He probably slipped and fell off the truck. His girlfriend was probably irate that he refused to pay a lot of money for wedding photographs (can't blame him for that!), and was probably driving like a maniac.

Sad and unfortunate incident. Sorry to see a young man lose his life.

I'm sure he threatened it, stock. But yeah, sounds to me like she sped up and he fell off.
