Bengals WR Chris Henry dies from injuries suffered in accident (1 Viewer)

[beavers]

OK.I got no beef with DG, just thought it was not needed

I've lost family members before and they were kept on life support long enough to harvest organs. If he has a serious brain injury and is on life support, it's not inconceivable to speculate that they will or will not harvest his organs.

 

[grapeape]

sad. This reminds me a lot of Sean Taylor. Both guys made some poor choices in their lives but both seemed to really be turning it around and then horrible tragedy strikes them both.

 

[LadyBeBop]

It is a reality. A brain dead person will be kept alive to sustain organs for transfer. My neighbor is one of the nurses who works on a number of these tranfers at U-Michigan hospital. I have heard many of these stories.No offense intended.

Nor taken. But I'm hoping you're wrong.

Why would you want the organs to go to waste?

I don't mean I want his organs to go to waste. I'm just hoping he's alive and will make somewhat of a recovery. I understand he'll never play football again. I'm just hoping he'll make some contribution in life.

Giving others life isn't exactly chopped liver.

Being an organ donor isn't exactly something you wake up hoping for either.

 

[Uwe Blab]

This seriously sucks. The guy was really turning his life around by all accounts. Two small kids and mom may be to blame. Awful.

Are we all supposed to be sad for a guy that jumped into the back of a pick-up and fell out likely trying to do physical harm to a woman? If this wasn't an NFL athlete this would be a bit of karma served, but everyone is acting like we should be wearing a black veil and talking in a low voice. Is it sad? Yeah sure. It's sad that a guy who has had everything handed to him acts like an idiot and it leads to his demise. That's what is sad. And this is nothing like Sean Taylor, drawing any comparison is ignorant. Taylor was shot down in cold blood in his own home, he didn't go fatal attraction on his fiance.

Obviously, most of us are aware of Henry's past brushes with the law, but until we know more about this story, these statements are nothing more than careless speculation.C'mon, Doc...You're better than this.

Exactly. If I should go suddenly, I hope my organs will go to good use. I'm still holding on in hopes that CH makes a recovery....however slim that hope is.Hoping y'all understand.

oofDD, we don't even really know what happened yet, maybe she was fleeing, maybe he was trying to stop her form driving so she didn't injure herself. I'm not going to speculate but I'm going to flee this thread.

 

[steviey]

This seriously sucks. The guy was really turning his life around by all accounts. Two small kids and mom may be to blame. Awful.

Doubtful that the one fleeing from the other in a vehicle is the aggressor.

 

[Bob Magaw]

life support doesn't necessarily entail fatality (though breaking news does sound grim), so talk of organ harvesting seems premature at this point.

Well there's a lot of possibilities of what happened, but the end of the day result for their kids is that their dad is clinging to life and their mom MAY be responsible for whatever happens. Yep, the situation still sucks.

Who said there was an aggressor? Maybe he was just trying to get her to not leave.

We don't know (and probably never will) what Henry was thinking or what his intentions were during this incident.However, the fact that it is Chris Henry's name tied to a story like this isn't surprising. I've heard the stories that he was turning his life around, but the bottom line is this is a guy who has shown over and over again that he makes poor decisions. Eventually, bad things are goona happen.That being said, I am in no saying he deserves this or his history had anything to do with this episode. Sad story all around.

It's your board so I'll stop or maybe we can start another thread in the FFA as to not cause a ruckus in the SP. But he fell or was forced out of a moving pick-up, this much we know via the state police of NC. The chances of this being accidental or "tragic" in the sense most people think of the word, is small. If I'm wrong I'll make a donation to Chris Henry's favorite charity but I know that won't be happening.

it wasn't the 1st thing the jumped into your mind? Hope it wasn't the case but from reading some of the news story it doesn't sound like he had the most noblest intentions

wonder what this does to Cincy

My original thought was an argument between him and the fiance then as she tried to leave, he jumped in the back and she swerved to get him out. If this is true, would you make a donation?

All class as usual DD Hope Henry is OK. Henry may have had his problems off the field but if he can pull through this maybe he will get the help he needs.

Dayton Daily News interview conducted w/ Chris Henry regarding the Bengals' offensive woes yesterday.

*******

So what has Oh Henry been up to these days?

“Man, I’ve been trying to get a bunch of my wedding stuff taken care of since my injury,” Henry said during a phone conversation on Tuesday, Dec. 15. “I’ve been back and forth between Cincinnati and North Carolina getting ready for the big day.”

Henry is set to marry his Polynesian Beyonce and mother of his three children in March 2010.

What does he think of the offense and will he be back next season?

“I hate sitting back watching my team struggle,” Henry said. “It won’t be easy, but I know they’ll figure out a way to turn things around. The team is pretty much in the playoffs and I know they’re going to do their thing once they get there. I only wish that I could be out there with them helping them as much as I can, but I won’t be back out there until next year.”

...

“I wish for something to happen so I can remain in Cincinnati and play for the Bengals,” Henry said. “I don’t want to go anywhere else, to tell you the truth. I love being a Bengal and love (Carson) Palmer. What he can do for me and what I could do for him is unlimited.

“I like the system that I’m playing in and will continue to work hard to be that No. 2 guy. I really want to show Cincinnati what I’m all about as a receiver. Hopefully, I’ll get that opportunity.”

while henry cleary has a troubled past, and some may feel compelled to possibly spuriously "connect the dots", since we don't know he was likely trying to do harm (and may never), and he might be dying, try and have more respect.

Apparently DD is a guilty until proven innocent guy. In the story posted they said that Henry and his GF were arguing. They mad no mention of any abuse or "fatal Attraction".

 

[QuizGuy66]

my friend pointed out that it's possible that homicide detectives might get involved even if it is a possible attempted murder. Given the circumstances under which he was found would make it reasonable for these kind of investigators to be involved in piecing together what happened (regardless if they determine that a crime occurred.

Latest post on his Facebook fan page:

Guys I hate to report the sad news. A friend of mine knows the Henry family very well, and with deep regret, I've been told that Chris Henry has passed away. He's at a North Carolina Hospital right now, and they are waiting for his mother to fly from Florida so they can pull the plug. He had all the potential in the world, and all NFL fans should feel cheated that we didn't get to see Chris turn into a superstar. RIP Chris Henry.

Respect for arguably one of the worst human beings to ever play in the NFL? I'm having a hard time with it.

Not the time or place.

 

[FBGirl79]

Chris Henry has passed away (family friend is team chaplin for the Bengals). Heard that him and his girlfriend were fighting. She jumped in truck to leave and Chris Henry jumped in back and flew out.
