I think the best thing is to reserve judgment on these things until all the evidence comes in but whatever the result truly sad.
hearing that he killed his wife and his son is very depressing. i could not imagine hurting my family, especially my own son
What a dirty b*stard. Who cares about what a great "wrestler/performer" he was, How much of a twisted freak do you have to be to kill your own family?
The WWE have said on their site Chris sent some worrying sms's on Sunday morning hence the WWE calling the cops. They also say they know more about the incident but the police have asked them not to publish it as of yet. The sheriff has said when the full details are released it will be even more bizarre
This is so BIZARRE. Not to mention sad and disheartening, but Chris Benoit is the LAST person I would expect to do this. From all reports he was a great, honest guy who loved his family.
Lets all not judge until we get the real story. It's still too early and there are lots of conflicting reports.
I call bs. Benoit and his family was murdered for reasons we do not know. Obviously there will be a made up story to cover up the truth.
Speechless umm I dont really know what to say? what do you say if it is true that Benoit took out not only himself but his wife and son aswell. it was reported on prowrestling.com that Vince announced at the start of Raw this week (330 tomorrow on fox8) that his death was indeed a work - but Benoits was real. its taken me 15mins at least since i saw the news to gather any semblance of thoughts. Why Chris Why??
C'mon you can't be serious. You know something is very wrong when Vince comes out and kills his own angle.
Why the hell is this news published to all the major sites? Vince isn't that stupid. Moron, but not that stupid.
A horrible, horrible tragedy. Benoit was an amazing technical wrestler. It really is the end of an era for the WWF. There aren't any guys like him left, at least not of his caliber. I'm just thankful I got to see him wrestle live(against Kurt Angle no less) at Wrestlemania X-Seven 6 years ago.
http://www.wrestleview.com/news2006/1182837567.shtml World Wrestling Entertainment is providing more details about the shocking turn of events leading to the deaths of Chris Benoit, his wife Nancy and son Daniel. WWE officials were first notified this weekend by Benoit that he would be unable to appear at a scheduled Smackdown/ECW House Show in Beaumont, TX on Saturday and the Vengeance PPV the following Sunday in Houston, TX (where he was scheduled to compete for the vacant ECW World Title against CM Punk). Benoit informed WWE officials that he had a serious family emergency and left it at that. WWE's VP of Government Relations Richard Hering was then made aware of several curious text messages sent by Benoit to WWE employees and wrestlers on Sunday morning. WrestleView.com has spoken with at least one strong source about this situation stating that Benoit's text messages almost had a "thank you and goodbye" theme to them causing many to be alarmed and concerned. As a result, Hering contacted Fayette County sheriffs on Monday and requested that they check out the Benoit residence when he was not getting back to WWE officials. Authorities then responded to the Benoit residence and reportedly had a difficult time entering their new home on Monday afternoon, which was guarded by two large German Shepards roaming around the property. When authorites entered the home, they immediately located the bodies of Benoit, Nancy and Daniel. World Wrestling Entertainment was then notified of the discovery at approximately 4:00pm Eastern on Monday. A press conference was held Monday night by Lt. Pope officially ruling the findings as a double muder-suicide within the home. As reported earlier, it is believed that Benoit killed his wife Nancy and 7-year-old son Daniel over the weekend and then killed himself on Monday. All three bodies have been received by the Georgia Bureau of Investigation's crime lab in Decatur, GA. Autopsies will be performed Tuesday morning, while toxicology reports will not become available for two weeks. It is interesting to note that WWE.com is currently reporting that further information relating to the investigation and cause of death are known at this time, but the Fayette County Sheriff’s Department has requested that information not be released by WWE at this time.
