In 2007 the Murfreesboro Post wrote: "Henderson, 16, a pitcher for the Riverdale Warriors baseball team, died when his truck crossed the center line and crashed head-on into a dump truck Thursday. He was not wearing a seat belt and partially ejected. Cause of the crash remains under investigation."
