Update: Chris Henry Dies Following Car Accident

[DBUCHANON101]

Another life was lost too early, lets respect that and not point fingers about fault.
RIP Chris Henry

This feels a lot like Sean's death. He was seemingly turning his life around. He was away from the team due to injury. The one difference that Vallin21 points out is that Henry made a horrible decision by jumping into the back of that truck, while Sean died defending his family. Regardless of the circumstances, both deaths were senseless, and my prayers are with the families. RIP CH.

If it hadn't been for the Sean Taylor situation I probably would have reacted a lot differently to the news. However after seeing people jump to conclusions after the Sean Taylor murder I think it's safe to say that I now know better. Wish I could have learned it a different way though.

Anyway RIP Chris Henry.

Amazing how different the reactions are when S.T. dies and when Chris Henry dies. Both were similar in that they were turning their lives around and both had a bad perception of what they were all about. And both were injured at the time hence why they weren't around the team at the T.O.D.

For me I just want to say R.I.P. Chris Henry. I do believe that he was turning his life around and making the most of his second chance with the Bengals. He was taken too soon. His family and fiancee will miss a was soon to be husband and a father and his teammates will miss a friend and a great player too.

For the record I'm not trying to jump to conclusions. I definitely will pray for his family and his 3 kids because they will never see their father.

RIP Chris Henry

Just because you feel threatened doesn't give you a right to leave someone who just fell out the back of a pickup laying there which is what the news reports make it sound like. I don't know how NC law sees it but here in Cali Chris was in the wrong for being in a pickup bed while the truck was in motion...but still It sounds like he actually laid there for an extended period of time........

I'm not worried about who's at fault here or whatever the drama was surrounding it the fact is Chris is gone and his kids will never have that back.....that 3 year old won't forget this Christmas either this isn't supposed to happen you know what I mean?!?

It sad that it seems that both Henry & ST changed their lives before there death's.

R.I.P. guy had really turned his life around

[TheSmurfs22]

I am very sad to hear this happened to Henry.

I don't know what to say. I feel for everyone connected with the Bengals because we went through this with Sean.

[GMScud]

I just saw Ochocinco's comments for the first time. It sounded a lot like what people had to say about Sean:

"My grandma always said you never question the man upstairs on the decisions he makes, because he never makes mistakes. But I don't see how Chris was supposed to go already. Especially when you're on the right path."

Ocho was really upset. I couldn't help but to get choked up a bit. All those feelings I had about Sean came back for a minute. I really feel for the Bengals players and fans, and of course Chris' family.

More news this morning says that she did drive off and leave him after she saw that he had fallen off.

There is also a 911 tape of her calling 911 when he jumped in the truck, but the audio has not been released.

listening to reports from the crime scene investigators, they are roughly 90% sure of what happened. The tire marks in the road indicate clearly that she was deliberatley swerving to try and throw him off, which she succeeded in doing. They also said speed is a factor and he may have had less serious injuries had he fallen off at a slower speed. Apparantley she was going pretty fast..

Looks like just a matter of time before she is charged with manslaughter. It's not 1st degree murder, but at the very least it could be negligent homicide, etc....

Sharp as a tack these cops.
