NFL Star Chris Henry Dies

NFL star Chris Henry has died as a result of the injuries he sustained after falling out of the back of a moving pickup truck yesterday.

Charlotte-Mecklenburg 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.

I'm sorry for my previous flip comments about the team. A moment, an instant of impulse and a man dies. So young, so very sad for his family.

I didn't know anything about this guy except what I read yesterday after he was injured but it sounds like he was possibly turning his life around & I am very sad to hear of this. So young. Wonder how this will play out for his fiance legally? Thoughts & prayers with the family & may he RIP.

R.I.P Very sad, its moments like these that you look back and think about all the fights you get in with your bf/gf whatever and realize that something that probably started out so small ended in tragedy. so young, had a great family. I feel for the fiance, she must be regretting everything. That would be tough to live with, poor girl.

oh man, this is sad. Two families changed forever and a young girl that in a moment of hysteria will never forget when she made a bad decision. Reports and the investigation isn't in yet, but she is going to need some support. I hope the families can bond together in this tragic affair.

TMZ must have some insider information, or they're jumping the gun a bit here. ALL of the other media outlets still have Henry being on Life-Support...ESPN, CNNSI, etc. Hopefully we get verification before declaring someone deceased...
