Henry's injuries were so severe that he was transported to a local trauma unit called the Carolinas Medical Center where he died this morning at 6:30am. Chris Henry was only 26 yo.

They were planning on getting married this year. Currently they were raising 3 small children.

In the Nov. 3rd game against the Balto. Ravens, Henry broke his forearm (I believe). So he was on the injured list.

How horrible for this to happen this time of year. I feel for his kids.

Ummm, I'm not really sure I'd call this a "spat". According to what I read it was what police term a domestic dispute. His fiance was in the truck leaving the scene and Chris Henry jumped in the back of it. What happened next I'm not sure. I'm guessing he fell out. Yes, it's sad and shocking. It's not the first time his name has been in the news unrelated to football. From 2007-2008 he was arrested five times, assaults, pulling a gun on someone. He made a lot of bad choices, was noted to have a bad temper and make bad decisions. It was recently written he was turning his life around and was making strides in staying out of trouble. He was really lucky he got a second chance in the NFL since the Bengals cut him once and then re-signed him.
