Yeah, will she be charged with anything? He died as a result of her driving the vehicle and one would presume, refusal to stop though he was in a dangerous position in the back of the truck.

What a shame though, since he had lost his job with the Bengals for bad behavior and only recently was given a second chance. He was toeing the line too.

I hadn't heard that, but it is a shame that so many people die right after they straighten out their lives.

All of his teammates talking about how he was "all straightened out" and had "fixed all of his problems."

Sorry. But if you're involved in a screaming fight with your wife/GF, attaching yourself to a fast-moving truck and threatening suicide... you are NOT straightened out and all fixed. The guy was clearly troubled, NOT out of the woods, and died as a result of his own stupid actions. I sure hope people don't attempt to hold him up as a role model.

i think he hopped in the truck to get to talk to her, but she drove off.

And somehow this man dying is less news then a golfer cheating on his wife under pretty much the same circumstances.....wow, media has their priorities straight

One of them is black, and the other is Tiger Woods.

I'd still take him over Terrell Owens.

Neighbor Lee Hardy told WLWT-TV and The Cincinnati Enquirer that he was working in his yard when the truck left the driveway. Hardy said Henry was yelling that he needed to talk to the woman behind the wheel.

"He said, 'If you take off, I'm going to jump off the truck and kill myself,'" Hardy told the newspaper.

You're right, but it sounds way more heated and dramatic. He once again put himself in a bad situation and it cost him his life. I don't feel a lot of sympathy when people do destructive things to themselves.
