It's been a rough year for Bengals fans. Today, Chris Henry died of complications of injuries sustained from falling out of a truckbed. He was 26. John Eradi of cincinnati.com has a nice reflection piece on Henry.
Compounding the Bengals' collective griefs this year is the death of DC Mike Zimmer's wife from cancer earlier in the year. Many viewers will recall the inspiring video of the locker room after their 17-14 win over Baltimore (a victory that has proven quite valuable over the course of this year).
Truly, there is never any joy in seeing a young man (albeit a man older than all of this site's writers) lose his life early and of the tragic circumstances which he was trying to escape. Henry seemed to have started to turn his life around, finally obtaining the off-the-field stability he so desperately needed. His demons, though, got the best of him and now he will never get a chance to recover.
Requiescat in pace.
