Police in North Carolina said the 26-year-old receiver was rushed to the hospital early Wednesday afternoon after being found on a curvy section of a residential road. He died of his injuries at 6:36 a.m. Thursday.

Charlotte-Mecklenburg police released two 911 tapes later Thursday. The first was from an unidentified woman who said she was following 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. ... I don't know if he's trying to break in or something. It just looks crazy. It's a girl driving it."

Just over a minute later, an unidentified man called 911 and said he saw a man "laying in the road" and "definitely unconscious."



Police said the domestic dispute that led to the incident began at a home about a half-mile away, where Henry jumped into the bed of the pickup as his fiancée was driving away from the residence.

There is speculation that the friction between the couple was over Henry being "annoyed" and "aggravated" at the cost of putting together his wedding. Here's what TMZ is reporting:

The rep tells TMZ Chris and his fiancee Loleini Tonga came to the office on Tuesday night to discuss the pricing of a photography package. The rep claims Henry became upset when he saw the bill and "with an attitude" asked Loleini, "How much we paying for all this?"

The rep claims the two "bickered" over details -- and eventually Henry walked outside so Loleini could work out the details, fill out paperwork and fork over the deposit.

Police said at some point when she was driving, Henry "came out of the back of the vehicle." Harrington wouldn't say if the woman, whom police would not identify, was present at the scene when police arrived.

The Bengals will wear a helmet sticker Sunday against San Diego to remember Henry.

When players received word Henry had died, quarterback Carson Palmer called them together in the locker room and said they should dedicate the game and rest of the season to Henry and the wife of defensive coordinator Mike Zimmer, who died unexpectedly during the season.
