Fiance will not be charged in Chris Henry's death
Even though the Bengals are heading into the playoffs this weekend, there's still a missing part of this team's heart that can't be filled. Less than a month ago, the once troubling wide receiver, had died due to injuries after falling out from the bed of a pickup truck during a domestic dispute with his fiance.
His fiance Loleini Tonga is now talking about the night of the accident to ESPN.
“He jumped from the back of the car,” Tonga told reporter John Barr on Monday. “I know I wasn’t going fast at all. Because I was trying to drive slow because I knew he was in the back, standing up.”
“I have no idea what was going on in his mind, but as far as him wanting to end his life – no,” Tonga said. “He had too much going for him. I know he wouldn’t want to be gone, away from his kids.”
The official cause of death was listed as blunt-force trauma. Tonga claimed that there was no place to stop on the road and kept driving, although "she said she wasn't driving fast in the 35-mph zone." Whether he jumped or fell at this point is meaningless in that he's gone. Legally however, Tonga will not be charged for Henry's death.

i’m glad she won’t be charged, just so his family doesn’t have to deal with it longer, but if somebody is flailing around in the back of your truck, there’s always a place to stop.
i'm going to go america all over your ass!
like in the road
even if someone was following her, you slowly pump the brakes…
what i’m more concerned with is how horrible it is that the reason he jumped is because he was afraid of the police because goodell would have banished him.
RIP Slim.
I not know how to feel
I not know how to feel about this. I want someone to be angry with and blame but I don’t want to make things harder on Slim’s family. I am wondering if she isn’t telling us everything.
Also there is always a place to stop and “she said she wasn’t driving fast in the 35-mph zone” does that mean she wasn’t speeding because 30-mph is still fast enough for someone to fall out a truck
Does this mean this story is over?
Sad & tragic but we will never know the truth. Someone please take the pictures of his dead body off the Bengals SI.com Team Page photos & let’s get back to football.
