You're right. He woke up one day at age 40 and realized, "Hey! Professional wrestling is fake!" And unlike the rest of us who realized this at age 9 and threw away our Roddy Piper and Junkyard Dog thumb wrestlers, Benoit instead killed his wife and kid, then himself.

Grain of salt, naturally. But this is coming from someone who lives in the area

A Cousin of a GBI (Georgia Bureau of Investigations) has heard in his circle is that Chris Benoit's wife killed their son Daniel, called Chris and told him to rush home because of an emergency which is why he missed last Sunday's Vengeance PPV. Upon arriving home Benoit killed his wife in a rage for the death of his son and then killed himself Monday morning. His wife's body was found in the master bedroom, strangled with the cord from an alarm clock. The son's body was found in his room apparently suffocated with a garbage bag. Chris then wrote a suicide note explaining what had happened, apologized to his family, his other children (from a separate relationship), and his fans. He then fashioned a slip-knot noose from from rope taken from the garage and hung himself from the banister in the foyer of his suburban Atlanta home.

Thw radio reports coming out now are just that its been called a nurder suicide without any other details.

If the wife killed the son and dad took out the wife story is real, that's a real bad situation.

This seems much more believable. Two days before a major PPV event where he had a title opportunity, he suddenly decides to kill his family? He's always seemed to be one of the calmer wrestlers. Steroids is probably out though, WWE announced a while back they were not allowing "performance enhancing drugs".

That seems more logical than him killing both...he wouldn't just not show up for an event. Why he didn't just call the police I don't know, but don't think he would have wanted that public scrutiny considering he's in the public eye and all. Probably just snapped and realized that was the "only" option. :(

I won't say RIP if he killed his family. I don't care haw screwed up things get, you don't take out your family, even if you are suicidal, off yourself, but not your family.

Damn a double murder/suicide.............................I never thought he could ever do that. He seem like a cool guy that loved his family. I want to know wtf happened to cause him to snap. I watched this guy ever since ECW days and I really want to f'n find out why he killed them and then killed himself. I feel bad for Dean Malenko, he lost both Eddie AND Chris, he is without anybody else left in the WWE. I just really want to know what caused him to snap.</end quote></div>

Goddamn, I hate being right all the time. What a scumbag POS. :|

Edit-Change the thread title to R.I.H. (Rot In Hell).

hmm seems to be conflicting story's.

most comeing out now have it that the wife killed the child. then Beniot came home seen that and killed her and then himself. IF true i can't blame him. if i came home and found my wife had killed my kids i would kill her.

lets wait until we know for sure before we condem the man.

Exactly.

Some people here are jumping too hard on unconfirmed reports that he may have killed his family.

the lead investigator has STATED that it is suspected he killed them both. The only place I've seen speculation about the wife doing anything was here.

Crazy, just crazy. The first I heard about this was this morning while taking to my mom. My sister had tickets to the show here and didn't get to go. I wonder if they'll refund the cost?

Oh, and I refuse to engage in the speculation - I'll wait for the official statements to come out.

I always find it funny when the cops say something then follow it up with that they still are awaiting further evidence to confirm things.

Why even say anything in the first place when they don't know for sure. It'll save them so much time and possibly embrassment.


sorry if this has already been posted, but because of the errors on the forums this thread ends mid post halfway down for me:

"Several Atlanta-based law enforcement sources have told TMZ Benoit may have strangled his wife on Saturday, then smothered his son in his bed a day later. Investigators refuse to officially comment, pending final confirmation by the coroner on the cause and time of the deaths. One source told TMZ that Benoit was texting friends during Sunday's WWE "Vengeance" Pay-Per-View program -- possibly watching the show with his son, who may have been alive at the time. According to sources, Benoit then hanged himself Monday in a weight room inside the family home."
