  Sad ending to a troubled life. Trouble seemed to follow this kid from WVU throughout his NFL career.
• GeneralsIcer89

  Feel bad for his kids, but it was his own fault.

  Slim was my favorite players on the Bengals right after Ocho ..... He had a HELL of a pre-season and it was looking like he was turning his life around... If you have nothing good to say on this young man or his life, please stay off this thread!! We love ya Chris!! R.I.P. #15 Who Dey!

  Why because I should feel remorse for a moron who time after time has demonstrated he has no comprehension for the God Given talent he was fortunate to possess and allowed to do a job most of us dream of doing for millions of dollars??? Your the one who is "unreal" buddy...let me know when you want to join the rest of us in Reality Town.

  There's a time for jokes and a few minutes after someone has died, regardless of your feelings for them, is not the time.

  It's not like he was run over by his drug dealer while robbing a bank. He was fighting with his girlfriend and ran after her. A freak accident. None of you have ever done anything foolish while arguing with your s.o.?

  Like jumping into the back of a presumably fast moving vehicle? No.

  not tried to kick her ass and scare her enough to speed away in a truck.

  troubling to hear this. 26 years old. Jesus.
  
  I hope people close to him cope well with this. I heard they are investigating his fiance, do they think she threw him out of the truck?

  Don't know about that. If she jolted him out of the truck on purpose I am sure the law won't take that to lightly. If she is convicted of involuntary manslaughter he might as well have taken her with him.
  
  This is just sad.

  Yea a 115 lb. chick "threw" him out of the truck...my God people!

  Your feelings on the subject are your feelings, but what need would someone have to express them?

  I'm sure they'll be investigating whether or not she was just being a crazy bitch or perhaps he was trying to harm her and she tried to speed away. She must have been going upwards of 30-40+ to kill him. Maybe he landed on his head.

  Hey asshole, if she was swerving all over the road and caused him to lose his balance and fall, that counts.
  
  go fuck yourself assclown.

  How the hell do you throw someone out of the bed of a truck WHILE driving it??
  
  And, isn't it illegal to be riding in the bed of a moving truck??

  It's obviously tragic and I posted about this on the pro sports forum.
  
  I don't think it's the time for jokes, but I do have to agree with Tiernan in a way. First off, I don't care about Chris Henry. It's sad to hear, but it doesn't affect me so I'm not going to be putting "RIP Chris Henry" on my facebook like all my friends are.
  
  Secondly, whether is right to say or not, this is a guy who was trouble. Sure he seemed to be turning his life around, but he has always been a screw up. From his younger days, to his days at WVU when he roomed with Pac Man Jones and was a train wreck to his early years in the NFL. I'm not saying that he deserved to die, because he didn't. But it's hard to feel sorry for someone that always caused trouble.
  
  
  And I don't get the media obsession with this whole tragedy. Sure he was an NFL player, but there have been much worse things that happened here in Ohio over the last couple weeks that I feel much worse about.
• september63

  

  I agree 100%. He did not deserve to die, but the young man lived his life very recklessly and on the edge. An ending like this should not come as a complete surprise.
• just_a_swimmer

  

  Where are all of you that are posting about what happened getting your info? I have read nothing about how he fell out, how fast the truck was going or anything like that. I also never read that he was trying to beat the crap out of her. Do you have links?
  
  I do know know that it doesn't matter how fast the truck was going if he landed on his head that would do it. We had a HS football player that fell out of the back of a pick up after football practice a few years back. The truck was barely moving but the kids were messing around. The kid lived but has never been the same.
  
  I'm sure the police will get it figured out, until then I feel sad for his kids regardless of the man he was.

  RIP
  
  Sad. Thoughts are with his family and friends.
• JTizzle

  RIP Feel bad for his children and family truly talented to guy! To you no heart having soles, hope people talk about you after your dead and gone! Henry seamed to be staying out of trouble and doing well or he wouldn't have playing this year. I seriously doubt he was going to try and beat her in front of her family come on people.
  
  I hope the Bengals win out the season and bring home a ring in honor of him!
• thedynasty1998

  

  I do agree with you that no one should be jumping to conclusions that he was going to physically harm her, or anything else for that matter. No one knows what happened and that's not up to us to assume anything.
• mtrulz

  Terrible, I liked him a lot. Plus he was on my fantasy team until he got hurt. RIP man you'll be missed.
• dont_belong

  

  This is a sad ending to say the least. I never really liked the guy as a player, however I guess I always HOPE people can see the error in their ways and rebuild their life. Unfortunatley he will not have that chance.

  Is there any truth to the rumor that the Chris Henry family has asked dlazz and Tiernan to give the eulogy?
