CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Cincinnati Bengals receiver Chris Henry has died,
one day after suffering serious injuries upon falling out of the back
of a pickup truck in what authorities describe as a domestic dispute
with his fiancee.

Henry was rushed to the hospital Wednesday
after being found on a residential road “apparently suffering
life-threatening injuries,” according to police.

Henry’s
injuries are ‘life-threatening’ Police said a dispute began at a home
about a half-mile away, and Henry jumped into the bed of the pickup
truck as his fiancee was driving away from the residence.

Police
said at some point when she was driving, Henry “came out of the back of
the vehicle.” They wouldn’t identify the woman, and no charges were
immediately filed.

Police spokeswoman Rosalyn Harrington said
homicide detectives have been assigned to the case but had no further
information. Police have not released the 911 tapes, and Harrington
wouldn’t say if the woman was present at the scene when police arrived.

Henry is engaged to Loleini Tonga, and the couple has been
raising three children. Tonga’s MySpace page identifies herself as
“Mrs. C. Henry” and has a picture of her next to a person who appears
to be Henry. She also has a post from Tuesday talking about buying
wedding rings. A neighbor said Wednesday that the Tonga family owns the
home where police say the incident began. Charlotte is home to his
fiancee’s parents.
