MYFOXNY.COM - Cincinnati Bengals receiver Chris Henry has died after falling out of the back of a pickup truck.

Henry fell out of the truck Wednesday in what police described as a domestic dispute related accident.

Henry was engaged and apparently was involved in an argument with his fiancee.  Police say Henry had jumped into the bed of a pickup truck his fiancee was driving away and tumbled out of it.

Police say Henry died at 6:36 a.m. Thursday. Henry was 26.

Henry was engaged to Loleini Tonga, and the couple was raising three children. Tonga's MySpace page (warning graphic language on page) identifies herself as "Mrs. C. Henry" and has a picture of her next to a person who appears to be Henry. She also had a post from Tuesday talking about buying wedding rings and putting a deposit down on a wedding photographer.

Henry, in his fifth NFL season, was on injured reserve for the Bengals because of a broken arm.

Bengals head coach Marvin Lewis, described as "extremely concerned" by club public relations director Jack Brennan, had not issued a comment.

Henry's mother and siblings, who live in Cincinnati, got to Charlotte on Wednesday night.
