The Sudden Loss Of Chris Henry Is So Tragic!



Chris Henry is the handsome but troubled NFL player who died in a domestic dispute.The sudden death of the Bengals receiver has shocked so many.And so far the circumstances of his demise are a bit murky.

Did he get thrown from the truck he was fighting in with his fiancee? Or did Chris Henry purposely jump from the vehicle as some witnesses have stated? Whatever the case may be,the fact that Chris Henry's life was snuffed out so early is very,very tragic.

Here's more from WLWT.COM:

"Bengals wide receiver Chris Henry died Thursday after a domestic dispute in Charlotte, N.C.

Police said Henry and his fiancée, Loleini Tonga, who lives in the area, had been arguing in the 800 block of Peachtree Road when Tonga tried to drive away in a pickup.

Henry jumped into the bed of the pickup and the couple continued arguing as Tonga drove, police said.

A 911 call that came in just after 11:50 a.m. Wednesday came from a woman who said she was following a yellow truck with a man in the bed.

"Got a black man on it with no shirt on, got his arm in a cast, he’s beating on the back of this truck window," the woman told dispatchers. "I don’t know if he’s trying to break in or something, just looks crazy."

The woman followed the pickup for a short distance, but did not follow when it turned onto another road.

Three minutes later, a man called 911 to say that there was a man lying in the road not moving.

"He looks dead. There's no movement," he said. "He's laying in the road. I have no idea what happened; we just pulled up here."

When the man was asked if the injured man was awake, he said "He's definitely unconscious. He's not awake."

Tree trimmer Lee Hardy told reporters Thursday that he was working in a tree in a yard near the road when he saw the pickup approaching "pretty fast."

Hardy said the pickup came to a quick stop at an intersection.

"And that's when I heard him yelling at her that he wanted to talk," Hardy said. "'We need to talk, we need to talk.'" Hardy said the woman inside was saying "No, I don't want to talk, get off the truck, get out of the truck."

As the truck pulled away, Hardy said he heard Henry say "If you take off, I'm going to jump out and kill myself."

Hardy said the truck disappeared from view and he went back to work on the tree. He said in the distance he heard the truck stop quickly, but thought nothing of it until police cars began arriving from both directions.

Police said Henry fell out of the pickup and landed in the roadway.

Charlotte-Mecklenburg police announced that Henry died at 6:36 a.m. Thursday.

Police spokeswoman Rosalyn Harrington said homicide detectives have been assigned to the case but had no further information. Harrington would not say if Tonga was present at the scene when police arrived."(END OF EXCERPT)Read the rest here.
