There is a small clip of the interview on the link below:

Last month, Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Chris Henry died from head injuries after falling out of a moving truck. The driver of the truck was his fiancé, Loleini Tonga. For the first time since Henry's death, Tonga is talking about the incident and her relationship with receiver. Her interview with ESPN is set to air on Sunday, but she wanted to make clear that despite a neighbor's claim, Henry wasn't suicidal and that he actually jumped from the truck.

"He jumped," Tonga told ESPN. "He jumped. He jumped from the back of the car. I think he thought maybe he was going to land. He was going to land right. I wasn't going fast. Maybe he was scared, because he saw someone calling the police.

"I have no idea what was going through his mind," she continued. "But as far as him wanting to end his life, no, he had too much going on. I know he wouldn't want to be gone away from his kids. He loves his kids. And everything was going really good. It's just that one day ...."

According to police, Tonga and Henry got in to an argument, and when Tonga tried to flee in a truck, Henry jumped on to the back of it. A neighbor saw the altercation, called 911 and reported that a man was banging on the back window of the truck.

According to ESPN, Tonga and Henry have two children together, Chris Jr. and DeMarcus, and they also cared for Tonga's other child, Seini. Henry also leaves behind a fourth child, his daughter Denalya, from a previous relationship.
