After much turmoil in his career and a standout on HBO's "Hard Knocks," Bengals wide receiver Chris Henry has died. ---

In an apparent domestic dispute, Henry jumped into the bed of a pickup truck as his fiancee was driving away from a North Carolina residence. Police said at some point when she was driving, Henry "came out of the back of the vehicle."

Henry was rushed to the hospital Wednesday after being found on a residential road and died at 6:36am this morning.

Chris Henry had been arrested 5 times in his short NFL career and had been suspended more than once by the NFL. The Bengals actually cut him from the team, but gave him another chance this year and Henry had seemingly turned his life around. He broke his arm earlier this season in a game against Baltimore and was in North Carolina planning his wedding.
