Chris Henry, the Cincinnati Bengals receiver whose playing
career was marred by numerous brushes with the law, died
Thursday morning after he fell from the back of a moving pickup
truck in Charlotte, N.C., Wednesday afternoon, the police said.
He was 26.

Henry had reportedly been in North Carolina in part to plan his
wedding while on injured reserve with a broken arm. But the
Charlotte-Mecklenburg police have described Henry’s accident as
the result of a domestic dispute with his fiancée, who was
identified by The Associated Press as Loleini Tonga. Her family
lives in Charlotte. Henry was taken to the hospital Wednesday
after being found on a residential road.

Henry was remembered as a soft-spoken, tremendously talented
player who died just as he seemed to be emerging from several
difficult years.

“He was good at what he did as a player, he was excellent,” Mike
Brown, the owner of the Bengals, said at a news conference
Thursday morning. “He was a teammate to our players, a friend to
almost all of us in the building. We knew him in a different way
than his public persona. We liked him. He had worked through
troubles in his life and had finally seemingly reached the point
where everything was going to blossom and he was going to have
the future we all wanted for him and he wanted for himself.”

The police said the dispute began at a house about a half-mile
from the accident scene. The A.P. reported that the house was
owned by the Tonga family. Henry jumped into the bed of the
pickup truck as his fiancée was driving away, and at some point
Henry “came out of the back of the vehicle,” the police said,
although it was not clear how.

On Thursday afternoon the police released two 911 tapes. On the
first, a woman, who was not identified, said she was driving
behind a yellow pickup truck. “It’s got a black man on it with
no shirt on, and he’s got his arm in a cast and black pants on,”
she told a dispatcher. “He’s beating on the back of this truck
window.”

She continued: “I don’t know if he’s trying to break in or
something. It just looks crazy. It’s a girl driving it.”

A minute later, a man, also unidentified, called 911 to say he
saw a man “laying in the road” and “definitely unconscious.”

Henry’s off-the-field behavior earned him a reputation as a
troubled player who in recent months appeared to be trying to
straighten himself out. The Bengals drafted him in the third
round of the 2005 N.F.L. draft. His speed made him an attractive
prospect out of West Virginia University despite considerable
concerns about his behavior, which included an ejection from a
game.

“Chris was a big part of our success during his time here,” West
Virginia Coach Bill Stewart, an assistant coach when Henry
played there, said in a statement released by the team. “For me,
he was a real joy to be around on a daily basis. He always came
to work and loved to play football.”

Rich Rodriguez, the Michigan head coach who was West Virginia’s
coach in Henry’s playing days there, said in a statement, “I
have many fond memories of our three years together and will
remember those forever.”

Once in the N.F.L., Henry was arrested several times after
incidents involving driving under the influence, marijuana
possession and assault, and he served multiple suspensions for
violating the league’s personal-conduct policy. He served jail
time for drinking in a hotel room with under-age girls.

After serving an eight-game suspension in 2007 for violating the
league’s personal-conduct policy, he was arrested in April 2008,
his fifth arrest in 28 months. He was waived by the Bengals.

But four months later, Brown, who has a history of reaching out
to troubled players, re-signed Henry over the objections of
Coach Marvin Lewis. After Henry served a four-game suspension
for misconduct, he rejoined the team. Lewis met with Henry, his
fiancée and children then. At the time of his death, Henry and
Tonga were raising three children, The A.P. reported.

Lewis said Henry had become a beacon of hope for others who
hoped to put troubles behind them. In eight games this season
before breaking his arm Nov. 8 against the Baltimore Ravens, he
had 12 receptions for 236 yards and 2 touchdowns.

“He had troubles, and some of them were made more of than I
think they actually were,” Brown said. “Yes, it was challenging
at times with him. But he was someone we liked. It’s a terrible
tragedy that just at a time he was running to daylight, his life
was snuffed out.”

Take the homie from da hood, make him a millionaire, nothing changes.

And yet for decades we heard that socioeconomic inequities were the
reason for their evil behavior.
