Do you have to pay for the stream? I didnt read the article, but is that a way they are trying to raise money to pay bills?

I just have his family in my prayers, and I can care less about seeing this live.

This is a funeral not a PPV event.

This seems a bit odd. RIP Omar.

After reading this story, I thought "What?!!!" I had gallstones and had my gallbladder removed about 20 years ago. That doesn't kill people. This report DOES NOT tell you how he died. So I researched, and in an ESPN report it stated: "As it turned out, Henry had gallbladder cancer".

As a freelance journalist, I'd like to remind the writer of this story of the 5 Ws and H (who, what, where, when, why, and how).

The way this story is written, it makes it look like Henry died from gallstones being removed.

Or you could have just read my other articles covering his health and death:

Omar Henry (1987-2013) - The Good Die Young

http://www.boxingscene.com/omar-henry-1987-2013-good-die-young--61995

By Jake Donovan - Live fast, die young and have a good looking corpse. The phrase was originally coined by novelist Willard Motley, though often attributed to actor James Dean – who fittingly (though tragically) lived fast and died young. So too, did Omar Henry, an unbeaten prospect who succumbed to a sudden battle with gall bladder cancer. The Puerto Rican talent was just one week shy of his 26th birthday when he was pronounced dead on Friday, February 1. His last days as a prizefighter were spent in hospital beds – initially under care at Broward Health Medical Center in South Florida in mid-November before being admitted to University of Chicago Hospital in December. The latter location allowed him to be surrounded by loved ones in his birth city, having also called Houston home as well as significant time spent in Oakland. His last days actually preparing for a prize fight were what led to the discovery of cancer.

Omar Henry's wish of living long enough to see his 26th birthday sadly goes unfulfilled. The unbeaten prospect was pronounced dead Friday morning, succumbing to a battle with gall bladder cancer. Henry (12-0-1, 9KO) was 25 years old at the time of his passing - just one week shy of his birthday - after being hospitalized for nearly three months at the University of Chicago.

Omar Henry Fights For His Life, Battling Stage-4 Cancer

http://www.boxingscene.com/omar-henry-fights-his-life-battling-stage-4-cancer--61767

It wasn’t very long ago when Omar Henry craved the spotlight. His only wish nowadays is to live long enough to see his 26th birthday. The unbeaten prospect is literally fighting for his life these days. Henry was hospitalized for gall stones in mid-November, the week of his scheduled Shobox debut against Juan Ubaldo Cabrera.

This report is merely explaining that the services will be aired on UStream, a request from his family. It wasn't yet another report on his death. But thank you for going out of your way to be an ass

he actually had pancreatic cancer , where the eyes turn yellow in the end.
this is one of the most severe forms of cancer, had a relative diagnosed with this in september, he passed away in december, 3 months which is same time lapse as for omar.
