- To the best of my recollection, I've not seen anything about his 'past' involving spousal abuse. Maybe it did, but I can't recall reading about it. I just hope she doesn't end up paying for something that I feel certain wasn't her fault or her intention. My guess is that she's deeply grieving the loss of her lover and the father of their children. Neither was it his intention, I'm sure, when he jumped in the back of that truck, to die. No one knew, least of all him, I'm sure, that jumping in the back of the truck, which was likely a spontaneous reaction to her leaving, would mean that in a few short minutes he would be dead. Just a simple tragedy that no one could stop. I'm just so sorry it happened.

- They were arguing. It escalated to threats of violence. Then it got physical. She got scared, ran out to the truck and took off to avoid being another domestic violence statistic.
He being an athlete jumped onto the back of the truck and proceeded to bang on the truck window trying to break it with his cast. She kept driving. She speeded up to get to safety before he broke the window and grabbed her.
He lost his balance, fell off the truck bed onto the pavement where he died from blunt force trauma.
She'll spend a couple years in jail. The children will be scarred for life. Lifetime will buy the rights to the story. - Reply to this comment
- As I have said way too many times, too many in the public idolize celebrities and sports figures. They are men and women who just because they hit a homerun, dunk a basketball or score a touchdown do not make them that important in society. There are plenty of role models who do not allow money, fame or celebrity to overwhelm their lives and allow them to do so many foolish things. They live their lives without drama and seem to not allow any of the "Hype" to go to their head as it should be.

- Phxfire is right, she didn't kill him. She was leaving, he followed. Abusers do that. What do you think he would've done if she had stopped the truck? I'll bet my bottom dollar she would've ended up outside of the truck and then everyone would be saying 'why didn't she just leave?' He was an abuser and he killed himself. What a shame since he had everything going for him. Some people just never learn.

- This is a real tragedy; three children without a father and possibly without their mother.

- Phxfire - There is a flaw in your reasoning. Loleini Tonga should have foreseen the danger of driving with Chris Henry banging on the back window. She had the option of locking the doors, stopping the truck, and waiting for help. Did she slow down or speedup? Did she attempt to pull into a police station? It appears that both contributed to negligence which resulted in his death. However, there are a lot of unanswered questions at this point.

- I personally know the Tonga family. They are great, loving and caring people. I've met Chris but haven't ever really talked to him. The family regularly have a luau in the backyard and invite their neighbors and friends. Sometimes over a hundred people will show up, and there is still plenty of food. They are good people, and from what I understand about the situation Chris was making changes in his life to move beyond his prior poor decisions. Please respect this family and their grief.

- I feel for the kids no matter which story is true - whether he was being abusive and she was fleeing, or he made a stupid mistake and she compounded it by not letting him get off.
