If karma had an enemy, that enemy would be Chris Henry. Joe Reedy tweets at around a quarter after five, Chris Henry was involved in an accident.
Chris Henry involved in an accident in Charlotte. Injuries are believed to be very serious
There's no word on what the injuries are or when the accident happened. We'll try to keep updating this as reports surface.
UPDATE: Reports are tricking in regarding Henry's injuries. There's a lot of unconfirmed reports right now that Henry has died as a result of his injuries. One Huffington Post report says that "Henry has died in a North Carolina car accident". The Charlotte Observer writes:
Police say Henry was involved in a "domestic situation" with his fiancee at 840 Peachtree Road. His fiancee, who police haven't named, got into a pickup truck and drove away from the home. As she was driving, police say, Henry jumped into the bed of the truck.
The domestic dispute continued between the woman and Henry. At some point, Henry "came out" of the back of the vehicle. Police refused to elaborate on whether Henry fell or might have been forced out of the truck.
As of 6:30 PM, Bengals.com is still calling it life-threatening injuries, citing the Charlotte Observer's piece. ESPN is currently calling it the same. Fox Sports says that Henry is on life support, and the situation is "dire".
UPDATE II: Reports of his death surfaced from a fake Twitter account, writes PFT.
A fake Twitter account led to multiple outlets from newspapers to major sports and news blogs to repeat the information that Henry passed away.
UPDATE III: Family joining Chris; agents says Henry is battling for his life. Joe Reedy tweets that Henry's family was joining him in Charlotte. Henry's agent, Andy Simms, tweets:
Client Chris Henry - He is indeed battling for his life tonight, and our thoughts and prayers our with him.
Dan Graziano writes just how dire it appears when one source told FanHouse, "We don't think he's going to make it."
UPDATE IV: Family at his bedside. Reedy reported on ESPN that his family is at his bedside.
UPDATE V: Serious head injuries. Joe Reedy writes that Henry "suffered serious head injuries." As of 12:50 AM, Henry is still alive but still on life support.
UPDATE VI: Mike Brown speaks. It's 10 AM and the good news is that there's no news. Chris made it through the night and he's, at last report, still fighting. Mike Brown released a statement this morning, which reads:
“Chris has suffered grave injuries in an accident in Charlotte. We are monitoring the situation and awaiting further word on his condition. We are stunned to have learned this news, and our prayers are with Chris. Rusty Guy, our director of security, is arriving in Charlotte this morning. He will be in close touch with the appropriate parties and will offer the club’s assistance to Chris’ family gathered there.”

Tough luck
But it will give someone else a time to shine. So much for keeping an efficient roster.

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Chris Henry was injured after coming out of the back of a pickup truck during a domestic dispute in north Charlotte.
Officers were called out to Oakdale Road near I-485 and Statesville Road just before noon in reference to a person down. When officers arrived, they found Henry in the road, with life-threatening injuries.
Paramedics transported Henry to Carolinas Medical Center, where he is being treated, according to police.
Police say Henry was involved in a “domestic situation” with his fiancee at 840 Peachtree Road. His fiancee, who was not named in a press release, got into a pickup truck and drove away from the home. As she was driving, police say, Henry jumped into the bed of the truck.
The domestic dispute continued between the driver of the truck and Henry. At some point, Henry came out of the back of the vehicle.
He was found by police about half a mile from the house in question.
A team spokesman confirmed that the parents of Henry’s fiancee live in Charlotte, though it’s unclear if he was visiting them.
Henry, No. 15 on the Bengals, is in his fifth season with the team and is known for his speed and athletic ability but also his troubles off the field.
He had frequent discipline issues, including four arrests in a seven-month span in 2006.
Those arrests included supplying alcohol to three underage females, a concealed weapon charge involving allegations that he pulled a pistol on a group of revelers, and marijuana charges.
In five seasons, he’s caught 119 passes for 1,826 yard and 21 touchdowns.
He has been on injured reserve since dislocating his forearm Nov. 9.
Local news reported Chris Henry in a fatal car accident…ESPN picking it up soon. RIP Chris…so sad.

Joe Reedy's latest Tweet:
“Charlotte police are saying that Henry is still alive.”
That was from a minute ago.
WCPO says homicide detectives are investigating at scene
That leads me to believe he might be dead. Charlotte police probably doesn’t want to confirm until his family is officially notified.

The most accurate update is Fox Sports’. He’s on life support and the situation is pretty bad. But that badass is still alive and if he’s shown anything the past year, that dude will fight back.

I never thought that finding out Chris was on life support could be considered good news. I had believed the initial reports that he had died. Anyway, I’m praying for Chris.

This is pretty awful… At this point I’m just hoping at the least he can live a functional life, never mind if he’ll ever be able to play again. I know all these fake death stories are coming out but i wouldn’t be surprised at all if he is in fact dead, or if he’s going to end up in a vegetative state. Head injuries like this are beyond serious. Prayin for him and his kid.

Terrible tragedy a few days before our game. Hope the direst rumors are wrong, and Chris can recover from this and have a normal and happy life with or without football. Such a shame for a player and team that were having such an unexpectedly successful season.

Thoughts and prayers with him and his family. Hope he pulls through.

But I can’t stand assholes. There is a young man out there on a hospital bed who may or may not be alive when we wake up in the morning and the most you care to say about it is that you aren’t sympathetic? Are you perfect? I bet there is more than one thing in your life that you regret doing, and I know that Chris has a lot of things he regrets but lately he’s been trying hard to be a better person and a better father. He’s just a human being, like you, your family and your friends, imperfect but a life. It’s more than just him being affected by this whole thing so kindly STFU if you have nothing nice to say.

My dad was involved in something like this back in the 80s. He was lying down on a river raft in the back of a truck, but it wasn’t tied down and it got windy enough to blow him and the raft out of the truck while it was going 45 miles an hour. He is lucky he lived from it.
Best of luck to him, his family, and the rest of the team.

Not good at all. I would infer from this information that they probably don’t think he’ll last long, and they are saying their goodbyes.

Oh my God
All I hope is that he’s okay. I don’t care if he can continue with his career. He’s had such a great turnaround and it’d be a shame to lose him. He’s one of my favorite players.
Chris, we all love you and are rooting for you.
Our thoughts/prayers are with you and your family and your children tonight.

Truly a sad situation. Things do not look good though. Anytime life support is used, it is usually to allow for the family and friends to see the person one more time before they pass. I sure hope this isn’t the case here though.

Quote from Chris that I really like
“I don’t live the way I did in the past,” Henry said in an interview with The Associated Press during training camp. “I kind of plan my days out and take it one day at a time and stay away from the wrong people. I’m not partying anymore. I’m just focused on football right now and my family. I don’t associate with the same people. I’ve completely changed everything.”

Houshmandzadeh on Chris
When Henry broke his arm in a game midway through this season, his former teammate and fellow wide receiver T.J. Houshmandzadeh texted him.
"I told him that everything would work itself out," Houshmandzadeh said. "It’s just weird (that) when you’re doing bad and getting in trouble, the only thing that happens is you lose playing the game you love.
"When you turn your life around, and then the most serious thing that can happen is you lose your life. It’s just crazy."
Henry’s fiancé "really settled him down and did a lot to support him," Houshmandzadeh said.
"Her being there was like a crutch and (to) prevent (him) from doing wrong," Houshmandzadeh said. "You’re going to have disagreements. You would never think a disagreement would end up in something like this."
The former Bengal said he "hopes everything works out and (Henry can) look back on it and say it was a tremendous learning experience.
"I don’t think anyone wants a learning experience where your life is on the line, though."

Prayers for Chris and family
My prayers are with Chris. May God pull him thru this. Come on buddy fight . God be with the family . We are praying for you right now.
Prayers are with Slim...
He really turned his life around and deserves better than this… if there’s any sense to the world, he’ll pull through.
I think that's what makes this so inexplicably hard...
Why would this happen to a guy who has completely turned his life around? Not saying that it’s more okay if it happens to someone who lives life harder—just that it doesn’t seem fair for this to happen to someone who finally focused on being a good father and person.

Doctors are good
Chris could have swelling or bleeding in the brain……but many times they wait a day or so to see if it goes down and if not, they go in and drain it. To a neurosurgeon, this is a common procedure. They also may have put him in a coma…..so he don’t move around. I had a brother that they did this to. That would account for the life support.

Hang in there Chris!
Here's a map
Of the the route between approximately where Henry is said to have jumped into the back of the truck and where he fell out, according to the police report. Google Maps lists it as 0.7 miles or about 1 minute of driving.
Chris IS Fighting!!!
And God is working! The Prayers are working! I can not go to sleep!!! I feel I have to keep praying. I know it says about God “Thy Will Be Done”, so he decides, but if he hears all of us over the US, it may make a difference. Fight, Chris, Fight! Your life has only just begun.
They showed the road where he jumped/fell..?? and the road looked like it wasn’t paved. Like a lane up to a house. Part dirt and part gravel, maybe. The truck was a small truck (yellow). ESPN showed it and they acted like maybe Chris was trying to get in the front seat with his g/f and fell. Surely, she wasn’t going very fast. They had just bought wedding rings!!! But we all know how a small quarrel can turn into a big fight.
The road was paved
in the pictures/videos I saw. Buut it was a curvy road so he could have lost his balance

About 40 seconds into the video, you can see a dirt lane….a cop is getting into his car and you can see it real well. That is where the cop was roping off with the crime scene tape on ESPN. So it happened, between there and where the truck is, I guess. I was hoping it happened on the lane……falling on the dirt I felt would be better.
Take this with a grain of salt...
…but entertainmentandshowbiz.com is reporting that the fiancee and her sister were seen both being led out in handcuffs. No source was identified for this, and I can’t find any other report to verify. Might be nothing.
That came from the same idiot...
…that twittered that Slim had died, unless it happened for real after he twittered it.
I kind of figured it was coming
she had fled the scene but was pulled over and they brought the truck back

Dude its FOX, they're a bunch of hate mongerers
These type of douches always come out when tragedies happen. Chris has made a lot of poor decisions in his life, who hasn’t?

I HATE Fox news.
Chris was a young kid and got in some trouble. I am a grandmother now, but I got in trouble when I was a young dumb kid. Chris has turned his life around, and what business is it of theirs…..plus, no one deserves this. NO ONE!
Please, Chris…You show them! Fight!! You can do it!! You are one of God’s children. He loves you.
Yeah Fox News is a joke

I have Faith
If Chris can make it through the night, then that will be a positive sign, in my opinion. I wish they would release more info on the exact injuries.
one last tweet.. dont know how true it is, but this may have started the fight...
hydeparkdave: Yo my homie Jerome who went to A&T just texted me saying he saw Chris Henry at some club in NC called Onyx last night! FOH

Gotcha.
I just nodded off on my F5 key. I’m not kidding. I guess I’ll be going to bed, too. I’ll continue praying for Slim, his family, my brothers and sisters in Bengaldom, and for all the great NFL fans who have stopped in here to show how much class does exist among the fan base of this league.
Good night, and may God Bless Chris Henry.

I agree
It confirms it happened at noon. I just cannot understand Loleini posting “hours before” the accident about picking up the rings and giving a deposit to the photographer. Places usually do not open until 9:00 or 10:00. UNLESS, Chris was out the night before, and Loleini went by herself and did these things and was mad. When she came home, he was still in bed, so she got on the computer and posted it, and when he got up, they got into an argument.
Please, God…let him survive.
LoLeini
Chris’s g/f Loleini (hours before the accident) posted on her “my space” that they had just picked up their wedding rings and put a deposit down on the photographer to take their wedding pics. So, they must have got up pretty early to get this done, and then get back home & take time for her to post this, and then get in a argument bad enough for this to happen around noon. This is posted everywhere. And it says “hours before” ; so I think maybe the accident happened about 2:30 instead of noon.
It also says that Chris was found only about 1/2 mile away from the house. He was taken to Carolina’s Medical Center’s Trauma Unit. Listed in serious condition.
It does not say who called for help. His agent, Andy Sims stated " Chris is battling for his life tonight"
Hang in there, Chris. Keep Fighting! Everyone is still praying for you. It’s just like getting a 1st down…..sometimes you have to do it by getting 3 yds at a time, but you eventually get it. You can do this.
I can't sleep
It would be great to hear some good news but as time goes on I’m thinking you can only be on life support for so long. I keep checking every site to find new information but there’s none. I guess I’ll have to sleep through this and just hope that Chris will fight through this and survive. Hopefully tomorrow morning when I wake up I will hear that Chris is doing better and not worse.
video from KY paper
about 3 video updates. Fans talking. Pretty good videos. I read another story that the police sent the homicide unit out to check for skid marks to see if the driver kept swerving to try to throw Chris out of the back of the truck. But no report on what they found.
1 reporter said about Chris “Never Count Him Out”. That made me feel good. Hang in there Chris. FIGHT!! We are NOT going to count you out!!!! We are still praying.
It's almost 6:00am
I have to try to sleep. I believe Chris has made it through the night. Keep Fighting, Chris. We will all keep praying. God is with you.
man... this news is kicking my ass
I don’t even know the dude, but he has kids and has been working so hard of late to do right.
Damn that broken arm, leaving him with too much free time else he would’ve been in Cinci still training.
The only thing I care about sunday would be “he is awake” or something good. Football be damned for now.
I guess a winning record brings out freaks.
man..
from a Raider fan. Iv always liked Slim, hes got amazing talent and potential i pray that he makes it out of this for his and his families sake. keep fighting man this world needs you.
Puts things in perspective
I really hope Chris makes it. I have been rooting for him on and off the field. I pray we are talking about his amazing recovery from this for years to come
morning all.
i had no idea this would effect me so much… i kept waking up thinking about it. i can’t stand knowing that he could lose his life after he tried so hard to get it back on track. how unfair life is sometimes…
fucking sucks to see the negative reactions to this kid’s misfortune. it makes me sick.
first thing I though of this AM as well
flipped on to see if ran across the bottom. Kinda saw something last night while watching Wright State at Mississippi, but I’m on chemo this week and was too worn to get up and change channel for more.
I guess a winning record brings out freaks.
My thoughts and prayers are with Chris and his family
The Hell that Tomlin & the Steelers have unleashed on me this December is indescribable.
Seriously
I’m praying for him cause no matter what football is football and life is more important. I hope all is well and if God so chooses that its Chris’s time then prayers are to the family teams and fans to help cope. You hate to hear stuff like this.
Steelers football is 60 mins.

Another flurry of “He’s dead”, including a twitter from a fox 19 “Trina Edwards”.

Hey Chris
We’ll remember you well as part of the Bengals Family! You’ll be catching footballs from the great QB’s up in heaven now.
This is our year!
The local paper
here in Indianapolis, The Indy Star, has said it’s been confirmed. R.I.P Chirs….your time here was short, but I guess God needed you more than we did. He drafted a wide receiver for his all star team.
May his family find comfort at this very difficult time. I pray for his 3 kids that they may find peace in the midst of this storm

Sad day for football
When such a young guy who had turned his life around dies so suddenly and tragically. Jeez, my prayers to his family.
The Hell that Tomlin & the Steelers have unleashed on me this December is indescribable.

RIP Slim. I am the same age and could understand the mistakes that he made in his first few years with the Bengals, but I always pulled for him.
It just sucks

I'll pray for your family tonight Chris, RIP
First time I shot her, shot her in the side.
Hard to watch her suffer, but with the second shot she died...
Chris Henry
We’ll never forget you.
We’re all prayin for your family.
Rest In Peace Slim

My deepest condolences to the family...
And to the fans and organiztion. You stuck with Chris when no one else would, and helped pave the way for the changes he was making to his life, which was taken far too soon.
Just a sad, sad story. I have friends who are Redskins fans, so I felt the pain with them over Sean Taylor’s death. This is every bit as tragic, and even more sad to me. I still can’t believe this.
My God welcome you with open arms Chris.

And as a person, you have my deepest sympathies and thoughts. Words are hard to express feelings at times of mourning. I’m shocked, and moreso speechless.
I’ll be thinking of you guys and his family.
Normally, I'm posting a bunch of trash, but it's all in good fun...
I’m sorry to Chris’ family and the Bengals fans that this has happened. Chris was a troubled young man, but an excellent athlete. RIP Chris. You will be missed! Good Luck, Bengals from a Steeler fan.

And condolences to Cincy fans. Today, we are all Bengals.

Death at a young age is never a good thing, even worse is the fact Slim and I are around the same age(I’m 27). Just found this out when I woke up ten minutes ago. RIP Slim, your legacy will live on.

This news is really terrible. My prayers go out to his family and to you Bengals fans out there. Life can be so sudden. Lord be with his soul.
Dammit
I’m not a huge football fan. I remember hearing about him being suspended with Pacman, but that’s all I really remember about him. I went on Yahoo Sports this morning to check the hockey scores and I saw that he had died. I didn’t really have a reaction to that until I read his bio. That fucking sucks. Reminds me of when Dan Snyder got killed in a car accident while playing for the Atlanta Thrashers, or when Nick Adenhart was killed by a drunk driver while playing for the LA Angels. It’s fucking terrible. No one should have to die so young. He still had so much time ahead of him in football and his rejuvenated life. God bless his family and his friends, both in the Bengals organization and out. RIP Chris, hope you are remembered as Ochocinco and the rest would have you remembered.

Rest in peace RIP
Chris Henry fully lived his life. It may be short but it seemed like he had done it all. Chris had his football talents and courage. Unfortunately they were not always gainfully applied. Whatever was disturbing him, he can now rest in peace. Hopefully he has learned that.
Just read this whole post
from top to bottom. It is wrenching. Thoughts and prayers to all you guys. I feel like an ass for having an opinion about Chris Henry that was very biased and far from the truth. The stories coming out about who he really was are amazing. Life long Niner fan but I just wanted to pass on how sorry I am.
