"We knew him in a different way than his public persona," Bengals owner Mike Brown said of the player who was suspended five times during his career. "He had worked through the troubles in his life and had finally seemingly reached the point where everything was going to blossom. And he was going to have the future we all wanted for him. It's painful to us. We feel it in our hearts, and we will miss him."
Police spokeswoman Rosalyn Harrington said homicide detectives have been assigned to the case but had no further information.
Henry as been out much of the season due to injury but was very close to a number of players on the Bengals team.
