I am going off the official status report from the press conference. I stated what the police said.

Well, it's a pretty sensational story so that's what drew me to read this thread and continue to read it. I feel sickened by what this guy did.

<div class="FTQUOTE"><begin quote>I'm sure you watch/do stuff that other people think is stupid, so whats the point?</end quote></div>

I'm sure I do too. People have said plenty of negative things to me here about my cycling, my hatred of SUVs, my opinions on cars. I can take it. I might get riled up sometimes but I can certainly take it...and I don't generally hold a grudge.

Oh well, I don't want to derail this thread into a debate about posting etiquette.</end quote></div>

I bet Benoit owned an SUV...</end quote></div>

From news videos, I saw a red H3 in the driveway of his house.
</end quote></div>

tp be fair as large as he was he is not going to fit confterbaly in a smaller car. now i do agree H3 is nuts but i can see him having a suv.

I'm short (5'6") and i even feel cramped in some smaller cars. i feel for some of you over 6'3"</end quote></div>

he was 5'10". I am 6'3" and fit fine into my taurus.
</end quote></div>

The Taurus is a full size sedan, one that needs a V6 or is extremely anemic on the highway. Its gas mileage is barely 21mpg.


ok?

WWE.com no longer has any refernces to Benoit other than him dead and they not being too happy with the press going all roid rage is the thing behind it.

I find the "R.I.P." part of the title a bit disturbing too.

But since it was written before the details were out, its become symbolic of giving something the benefit of the doubt only to be deceived by the real truth.

Either case its a tragedy...peoples lives shouldn't end that way. :(

. The physical findings announced by authorities indicate deliberation, not rage. The wife's feet and hands were bound and she was asphyxiated, not beaten to death. By the account of the authorities, there were substantial periods of time between the death of the wife and the death of the son, again suggesting deliberate thought, not rage. The presence of a Bible by each is also not an act of rage


whao if true its even worse. So ok its nto roid rage its worse then that.

No, a mental health issue does not make it "ok," but it should make you feel sorry for him as well.

Lets not make judgements until we know every side of the story.

Accept him as an entertainer, putting his body on the line all across the country. It's sad that his anger issues went this far.

This is not Johnny down the street in a family that can't afford him proper mental health care. This is an individual that is relatively wealthy compared to most folk, with access to the proper care he would need.

"STAMFORD, Conn., June 26, 2007 ? World Wrestling Entertainment is stunned and saddened by the details released by local authorities concerning the double homicide-suicide involving Chris Benoit, his wife, Nancy, and his son, Daniel.

However, WWE is concerned with the sensationalistic reporting and speculation being undertaken by some members of the media following the press conference held by the Fayette County Sheriff?s Department and the District Attorney. During the press conference, the investigating authorities made the following points, all of which run contrary to the media speculation that "roid rage" was a factor in the senseless murders and suicide:

1. The authorities stated that all drugs found in the house were believed to be legal prescriptions.

2. Steroids were not, and could not, be related to the cause of death (asphyxiation). Authorities had no factual basis to speculate as to Benoit?s state of mind, and rightly did not do so.

3. Toxicology tests have not even been completed, so there is no current evidence that Benoit even had steroids or any other substance in his body. In that regard, on the last test done on Benoit by WWE's independently administered drug testing program, done on April 10, 2007, Benoit tested negative.

4. The physical findings announced by authorities indicate deliberation, not rage. The wife's feet and hands were bound and she was asphyxiated, not beaten to death. By the account of the authorities, there were substantial periods of time between the death of the wife and the death of the son, again suggesting deliberate thought, not rage. The presence of a Bible by each is also not an act of rage.

5. WWE strongly suggests that it is entirely wrong for speculators to suggest that steroids had anything to do with these senseless acts, especially when the authorities plainly stated there is no evidence that Benoit had steroids in his body, pending the toxicological reports, and that they had no evidence at this time as to the motive for these acts.

WWE is continuing to monitor the ongoing investigation being conducted by local authorities."

nope, no sorrow for me. If you bring on a mental health disorder through the use of an external substance, then you are scum. Theres about at 99% chance this was due to the idiot taking all sorts of roids and meds. Pure scum, no matter what.

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?</end quote></div>
More likely that they'll run another show there in a few weeks or a couple months and honor the previous tickets.
As I expected, last night's show has been rescheduled to July 16.
