Bengals WR Chris Henry passed away this morning, after an alleged domestic dispute with his fiancee'. Henry was 26 years young. This is an absolute tragic situation, not only for the Bengals organization, but for the NFL as well.
Henry leaves 3 young children behind, as well as his fiancee', Loleini Tonga, who Henry once told a newspaper that she was responsible for helping him turn his life around.
This is a huge loss for the Bengals, who already suffered tragedy when defensive coordinator Mike Zimmer's wife unexpectedly passed away earlier in the season.
Chris Henry was always athletic, and was a pain the AFC North's ass. No matter what you thought about him, you could never say he couldn't play the game. Henry was overshadowed by teammates Chad Ochocinco and TJ Houshmandzadeh, but as a slot receiver he was a DB's worst nightmare. I've seen Henry do work against the Ravens many of times, and he was a great talent.
My prayers go out to the Henry family. This was a kid who had a troubled past but finally found peace and was consistent on using his second chance to the fullest by turning his life around. Not only did the league lose a brother, but a father, son and friend has been lost from this.
R.I.P. Chris Henry

One of the good things we all saw (similar to Sean Taylor) was watching someone turn their life around, and re-directing all that anger into doing more positive things. It sucks that his life ended this way. RIP
@SoulOnIce Like you, I thought of Sean Taylor when I heard the news of Henry's passing. It's a tragic loss if indeed he was turning his life around, because we never got to see him fulfill his potential, much like when Taylor died.
