    What a dumb way to die and a complete waste. Both were being stupid and negligent. Maybe fiancee should be charged with manslaughter? I guess we have to learn the details of exactly what happened. This was so senseless. Obviously, whatever fight they were raging about wasn't worth this.

    RIP

    I know for a fact that the truck didn't have to be going too fast to die from injuries from falling from it. Even if the truck was standing still, he could have hit the ground akwardly and sustained deadly injuries.

    A girl in my high school class died from falling off the hood of a car. She was just sitting on the truck and one of her friends thought it would be funny to start moving the truck. She fell off, hit her head and neck in a bad position and died. Car was going 2-3 MPH.

    In Chris Henry's case it probably was moving faster, but still, falling from even 5-6 feet in the air can kill you if you hit the ground poorly.

    Sooo Chris Henry's girl traded her pass for not having to work a day in her life to possible time in jail? Brilliant

    According to the article I read no charges have been filed yet for his fiance. Its possible that she might not have intentionally meant to hurt him but was trying to get away while he was hanging onto the back of the truck. If he was trying to hurt her this might even be a case of self-defense.

    What a shame. The kid seemed to turn things around.

    Rest in peace, Chris Henry.

    The guy died so I don't want to make comments, but this is the internet so here goes:

    If he jumped on the back of the truck as she was speeding away, he's a dumbass and a Darwin candidate.

    Tragic. Of course, we only know about it because he's famous, these things happen. Kiss your loved ones and tell them you love them, you never know. Good that he seemed to have turned his life around, sad that it ends like this.

    because she forced him to jump in the back of the truck? we don't even know if she knew he was back there before he fell off.

    If I were on the jury, the only way I could convict the fiance of anything is if 1) she knew he was back there and 2) she flung him off (braked hard, swerved, speeding). Otherwise, this was an accident caused by Henry himself.

    Tragic news. The guy was a complete bonehead but by all accounts it sounded like he was trying to turn his life around. Thoughts and prayers to his family.

    And, honestly, WTF even happened here? Domestic dispute turned girlfriend running out of the house turned Henry jumping in the back of the pickup truck turned girlfriend flinging him from the back on the truck to the pavement?
