wolfer Posted December 17, 2009 Share Posted December 17, 2009 From Profootballtalk Joe Reedy of the Cincinnati Enquirer has confirmed with the Bengals and Charlotte police that wide receiver Chris Henry is still alive following a serious car accident Wednesday. A fake Twitter account led to multiple outlets from newspapers to major sports and news blogs to repeat the information that Henry had passed away. The fake account purported to be by a NFL reporter, but it clearly is a fake. Still, the news around Henry is not good. Alex Marvez of Fox has reported that Henry is on life support and the situation is being described as "dire." We previously passed along reports that Henry's injuries were "life-threatening" and came after a "domestic situation." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wiegie Posted December 17, 2009 Share Posted December 17, 2009 Source: Bengals WR Henry on life supportUpdated Dec 16, 2009 7:41 PM EDT Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Chris Henry is on life support after falling out of the back of a pickup truck in North Carolina, a source has told FOXSports.com's Alex Marvez. The source described the situation as "dire." Henry was found in the road in south Charlotte "apparently suffering life-threatening injuries," according to Charlotte-Mecklenburg police. Henry was transported to Carolinas Medical Center, the local trauma unit, but spokesman Scott White said he was not listed in hospital records and had no other information. Police said a dispute began at a Home just before noon and Henry jumped into the bed of the pickup truck as his unidentified fiancee was driving away from the residence. "The domestic situation continued between the operator and Mr. Henry," the police said in a statement. "At some point while she was driving, Mr. Henry came out of the back of the vehicle." Henry was found on a residential street about a half mile away from the home when police were called to the scene after a medic report that a man was down. Henry's agent, Kenneth Rush, did not immediately return phone and e-mail messages left by The Associated Press. Henry broke his left forearm during a win over Baltimore on Nov. 8, had surgery and was placed on season-ending injured reserve. Charlotte is home to his fiancee's parents, the Bengals said. Team spokesman Jack Brennan said he had little information other than Henry was badly hurt. "We are aware he was in an accident and that his injuries are very serious," Brennan said. "We are obviously staying in touch with the situation and are ready to offer whatever assistance we can." Henry is in the final year of his contract with the Bengals, who let him go after his fifth arrest following the 2007 season. Owner Mike Brown then brought him back a few months later, signing him to a two-year deal, and Henry had stayed out of trouble since his return. A deep threat, he was fourth among Bengals receivers this season with 12 catches for 236 yards and two touchdowns at the time of his injury.

Delicious_bass Posted December 17, 2009 Share Posted December 17, 2009 ESPN news now says he is listed in serious condition. If CBS did this, this is another example of the sad state of journalism today. Making a mistake about whether somebody is dead or alive is inexcusable. Sad, very, very sad. +1 big time Sadly, I think it is the state of "journalism" today. Being accurate has been surpassed by being first and its devolved into a hoard of talentless hacks just throwing things out there in hopes something will stick. They dont care how hurtful or damaging what they spew can be. They just want to try to scoop everyone else. People should be losing their jobs over stuff like this but I doubt their feet are held to the fire even a little bit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
