NFL Chris Henry Dead After Dispute

Comments (12)

NFL Chris HenryCincinnati Bengals' wide receiver Chris Henry died in a Charlotte, N.C., hospital this morning, after falling out the back of a pickup truck on Wednesday.

According to police, a dispute between Henry and his fiancé occurred at his home around noon on Wednesday. The dispute then moved outside with Henry's fiancé driving away in a truck and Henry jumping in the back of the truck. Somehow, Henry fell out of the back of the truck and was found on the side of the road "suffering from life-threatening injuries," according to police.

As Henry battled for his life on Wednesday, agent Andy Simms said:

We ask everyone to pray for Chris. 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.

Although Henry's injuries were not disclosed, he did break his arm during the Nov. 8 game against the Baltimore Ravens and was on injured reserve.

Henry has had his fair share of drama over the years. He was drafted by the Bengals in 2005 and in his first couple of years in the league he was arrested for marijuana possession and gun possession and faced charges of driving under the influence. He was suspended by the NFL for his conduct off the field.

Recently, however, Henry had apparently been cleaning up his act and recently claimed that his fiancé was the reason.

"She's been a big help," Henry told the Cincinnati Enquirer in October. "She's been right here with me and going through things and helping out on my side. We have the kids, and she has my back with everything I've needed."

Rest in peace, Chris Henry.
