Typical Bengal player, almost as bad as an Indianapolis Pacer. Some beer company needs to start an advertisement campaign titled, "This Thug Moment in Sports is Brought to by......."
 
This was supposed to be his breakout year.
Houshmandzadeh left and Henry was finally healthy again.

He had a few good games, but then broke his arm mid season.
They say it was a sprain, but the replay footage looked very bad.

When I first saw the story, I thought it was fitting for a typical downward spiral after injury.
 
He's an idiot with major baggage/issues. He just doesn't know how to act. No sympathy here.

he could have been a really good WR if he got his life together
 
Everybody is talking about it at work. It's all over the news here in Cincinnati. I didn't know who he was before this. I try to maintain as little knowledge of football as possible.

Call me a prick...but unfortunate would be driving your kids to soccer practice and getting wiped out by a drunk driver.

Given his history and the fact that this happended during an "alleged" domestic dispute and getting thrown out of a back of a truck?

I'd say his lifestyle finally caught up to him.
 
He was most likely intoxicated. I wonder if she was?
They were raising 3 children. I can't imagine what kind of family environment they were subjected to. It's probably a good thing for them that he is dead. Hopefully they will get some inheritance money.

So, yes, Darwin award nominee.

Well put. A true Darwin award winner like this should not be exempted from award due to celebrity status.

Huh? Yeah, he kinda was actually.

On December 15, 2005, Henry was pulled over in northern Kentucky for speeding. During a search, marijuana was found in his shoes. He was also driving without a valid driver's license or valid insurance.[17] He pleaded guilty and avoided a jail sentence.

One month later, on January 30, 2006 he was arrested in Orlando, Florida for multiple gun charges including concealment and aggravated assault with a firearm.[18] He was reported to have been wearing his #15 Bengals jersey at the time of his arrest. He pleaded guilty to this charge and avoided jail time.

On April 29, Henry allowed three underage females to consume alcohol at a hotel in Covington, Kentucky.[19] One of the three, an 18-year-old woman, accused Henry of sexually assaulting her; she later retracted her story and was charged with filing a false police report.[20] On January 25, 2007, Henry pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor violation of a city ordinance commonly referred to as a "keg law." He was sentenced to 90 days in jail, with all but two of those days being suspended.[19]

He was pulled over on Interstate 275 in Ohio on June 3 at 1:18 A.M. by Ohio Highway Patrol trooper Michael Shimko for surmised drunk driving. He voluntarily submitted to a breathalyzer test at 2:06 A.M. at the Milford Police Department and registered a .092 blood-alcohol level, .012 above the level permitted in the state of Ohio.[21]

On October 6, he was suspended by the NFL for two games for violating the league's personal conduct and substance abuse policies. NFL policies forbid Henry from taking part in practices, however, he was allowed to attend any team meetings. Henry missed the Bengals' October 15, 2006 game at Tampa Bay and their October 22, 2006 home game versus Carolina.[22]

The following April, Henry was suspended for the first eight games of the 2007 NFL season for violations of the NFL's personal conduct policy.[11][16] His suspension on the 10th came with a stern warning that future misconduct may result in the end of his career with the NFL. Henry was given permission by NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell to begin practicing fully.[23] His suspension was lifted and he played in the November 11, 2007 game versus the Baltimore Ravens, amassing 4 catches for 99 yards.

Henry allegedly assaulted a valet attendant at Newport on the Levee in Newport, Kentucky on November 6, 2007.[24] He was arrested for a second time in Orlando on December 3 for violating his probation he was on from a January 30, 2006 arrest. On February 21, 2008 he was found not guilty.

On March 31, 2008, Henry was alleged to have punched a man named Gregory Meyer, 18, and thrown a beer bottle through the window of his car. Henry claimed it was a case of mistaken identity and also that he thought it was somebody else that owed him money.[25] Henry was waived by the Bengals a day after this arrest and was then forced to serve a house arrest sentence.
