Bengals Receiver Chris Henry Dies

Charlotte, NC – NFL star Chris Henry has died as a result of the injuries he sustained after falling out of the back of a moving pick-up truck yesterday.

Charlotte-Mecklenbruck police tell TMZ Henry died at 6:36 AM EST this morning.

He was 26.

As we previously reported, cops believe Henry — a wide receiver on the Cincinnati Bengals — jumped into the back of the truck, in an attempt to stop his fiancee from leaving a “domestic situation” at her parents’ home in North Carolina.

Henry was rushed to a local hospital — where he passed away this morning.

Authorities tell us they’re still investigating the situation.

Despite the Cincinnati Bengals’ successes on the football field this year, it has been an incredibly difficult season off the field. First, defensive coordinator Mike Zimmer’s wife passes away and now this.

Our thoughts and prayers go out to Chris Henry’s family and the entire Cincinnati Bengal organization.
