Chris Benoit, family found dead
Written: June 25, 2007World Wrestling Entertainment is deeply saddened to report that today Chris Benoit and his family were found dead in their home. There are no further details at this time, other than the Benoit family residence is currently being investigated by local authorities.
Tonight’s Raw on USA Network will serve as a tribute to Chris Benoit and his family. WWE extends its sincerest thoughts and prayers to the Benoit family’s relatives and loved ones in this time of tragedy.

And doesn't RAW come on at 8pm tonight instead of 9pm?

R.I.P
One of my all time favorite Wrestlers

A professional wrestler and his family were found dead inside their house in Fayette County Monday afternoon.
Authorities confirmed that Chris Benoit, his wife, Nancy and their 7-year-old son were found dead at the home on Quarters and Redwine roads in Fayetteville at 4pm
Officials would not say how the family died, other than to say they weren't shot to death.
Benoit, 30, was a Canadian wrestler who most recently fought as part of the World Wrestling Entertainment.
The organization said on its Web site said that Monday night's broadcast of "Raw" on the USA Network will "serve as a tribute to Chris Benoit and his family."
-
yeah Raw stars at 8PM tonight in the US
9PM in Canada
originally it was going to be a 3-hour show for a Vince Memorial for the storyline; now it's going to be a tribute to Benoit and apparently no storyline stuff will take place
and that article listed his age wrong, he was 40
-
Man how in the world is it possible that the whole family is dead? I don´t want to think about it but I just get the feeling that there was some kind of suicide at least by one family member involved.
Shit.
I hope they rest in peace now. All 3 of them.
This really shocks me. :'(
-
RIP :'(
-
R.I.P Chris and family.
-
wow that shit is creepy, RIP!
-
wow i'm disugusted right now. i dont' like wrestling anymore , i kinda loath it now that i've gotten into UFC, but that's BESIDE THE POINT. i'm looking up stuff on all the news sites .....rather the major news sites, and the only cable news channel that really has anything on it's front page is Foxnews.com. fuck say what you will about them, but i consider this a bigger deal than the world's ugliest dog and kevin garnett going to LA, and probably right up there witht hat pregnant lady who they found in the river. the news today sickens me.
-

Thats exactly what i was just about to say. It should even be the top sports headline rather than "Tank" Johnson being waived.
-
damnn R.I.P. to him n his family
-
Rest In Peace to one of the greatest Chris Benoit :'(
He will be missed.
-
I'm thinking the family got poisoned by someone that had a vendetta against them or something if this was a homicide. The second biggest possibility to me is they had very bad food poisoning. Who the fuck knows though right. The autopsy results will be some shit.
-
In the begining of the broadcast Vince said they were found dead in their NEW home.
That leads me to belive that maybe a natural gas line, or something like that wasnt installed properly when the house was built and they died of some kind of posioning.
reports of him calling and saying his wife and child were very sick and coughing up blood (dont know how true that is, just what i read)
carbon monoxide poisoning possibly
-
r.i.p

the local new on cbs in NY just reported it as a murder suicide.

FAYETTEVILLE, Ga. - WWE wrestler Chris Benoit, his wife, and son were found dead Monday and police said they were investigating the deaths as a murder-suicide.
Detective Bo Turner told television station WAGA that the case was being treated as a murder-suicide, but said that couldn't be confirmed until evidence was examined by a crime lab.
The station said that investigators believe the 40-year-old Benoit killed his wife, Nancy, and 7-year-old son, Daniel, over the weekend, then himself on Monday. A neighbor called police, and the bodies were found in three rooms.
Lead investigator Lt. Tommy Pope, of the Fayette County Sheriff's Department, told The Associated Press the deaths were being investigated as homicide, and that the causes of death awaited autopsy results on Tuesday. Pope said the bodies were discovered about 2:30 p.m., but refused to release details.
The house is in a secluded neighborhood set back about 60 yards off a gravel road, surrounded by stacked stone wall and a double-iron gate. On Monday night, the house was dark except for a few outside lights. There was a police car in front, along with two uniformed officers.
Benoit was a former world heavyweight and Intercontinental champion. He also held several tag-team titles during his career.
"WWE extends its sincerest thoughts and prayers to the Benoit family's relatives and loved ones in this time of tragedy," the federation said in a statement on its Web site.
Benoit was scheduled to perform at the "Vengeance" pay-per-view event Sunday night in Houston, but was replaced at the last minute because of what announcer Jim Ross called "personal reasons."
The native of Canada maintained a home in metro Atlanta from the time he wrestled for the defunct World Championship Wrestling.
The WWE canceled its live "Monday Night RAW" card in Corpus Christi, Texas, and USA Network aired a three-hour tribute to Benoit in place of the scheduled wrestling telecast.
"My relationship with Chris has extended many years and I consider him a great friend," Carl DeMarco, the president of WWE Canada, said in a statement. "Chris was always first-class — warm, friendly, caring and professional one of the best in our business."

oh man this is fucked.....i met this guy years ago...got his autograph and shook his hand....damn..he was one of my favs :(

How is WWE the first source to call it a double murder/suicide? A big part of me wants to believe that it´s some sick storyline although I know Benoit would have never agreed to do something like that.
I really hope this is not true.

wwe wasnt the first source, and its been all over the news. This shit is looking more and more fucked up. He called out for saturday and sunday w/ that family emergency b.s. b/c he kiiled his wife and kid already. shit is fucked. I think the cops let vince know that foul play was involved b/c the WWF/E has dealt with sudden deaths but they never canceled the show.

soooooo fucked up...this dude was in his house 2 days or so just "there" with his dead family :-\
i'm very interested to get all the details...

"The details, when they come out," said Fayette County District Attorney Scott Ballard, "are going to prove a little bizarre."
From the Atlanta Constitution
this is some straight up movie shit.
-
^
The wrestling site I frequently visit (411mania.com) has the WWE as the first source that confirmed it as a double murder/suicide that´s why I assumed they were the first ones.
They also state that police works under the theory of Nancy being killed on saturday, Daniel on sunday and Benoit killing himself on monday. Man that shit is so fucked up. Regardless of the facts, I still feel for all 3 of them. I don´t think of suicide as a selfish, weak act. I mean there just had to be so many problems that he saw no other way out. Taking his loved ones with him only shows how desperate he was, at least in my opinion. I really feel sorry for all of them and the remaining family.
RIP

RIP
to kill your child is absolutely disgusting...i do see suicide as a weak act, but that's another topic...if he decides to do that, why take your child as well? NOTHING that comes out of this story is going to lead to there 7 year old child doing anything wrong whatsoever...It's a possibility (i'm just saying) that this came from his wife cheating or whatever (killing her is still wrong), because that shit has happened a million times before...but your kid?
-
^
I understand what you´re saying and I also understand that there won´t be many people feeling the same way as I do but do me a favor and let us discuss that tomorrow or in a few days. The whole situation is just too crazy right now for me to speculate about his problems or decisions to kill his family.

it's not for sure yet if it was murder suicide. it looks more than likely, but lets wait until more news comes out before disrepecting the dead.
-
Steroids probably got to his brain.
that's what I was thinking
I mean drugs, whether marijuana or crack, fuck with you mentally
and it's pretty obvious this guy was on the juice
it's out there thinking but I wouldn't rule out that had somethin to do with it, if he committed the murders
-

There is another story stating that his wife killed his son...if that was true, can you imagine coming home to find out that your wife murdered your kid? he probably lost his mind, killed her...then realizing that his life was basically over...his career was done...his family gone...in that circumstance, I can see why someone might commit suicide...that's enough to drive someone insane...
-
man im in shock 1 of my fav wrestlers ever and probaly the best actual wrestler has died shit and it slooking like suicide and killing his family i dont know what to say man its so fucked up
-
Can't believe this. Always considered Benoit one of the best wrestlers out there. As someone said, I'll reserve judgement until all the facts are presented, but it's not looking good... :-\
-
this shits a bit random to come and read. i reckon the bitch cheated on him and his kid had persistant bedwetting problems, and Benoit just couldnt take it no more.
RIP anyway. be interesting to see the truth behind it all.

Breaking: Benoit Kills Family Over 3 Day Period
http://www.wrestlezone.com/article.php?articleid=184838969
Sources in the Fayette County Police Department are now working under the theory that Chris Benoit killed Nancy on Saturday, son Daniel on Sunday, and then killed himself earlier today.
Benoit was found dead in his weight room. Nancy was found dead in the living room. Daniel was found dead in his bedroom, accordig t an unnamed source in the department.
Lt. Tommy Pope told ABC News "the instruments of death were located on the scene," but didn't specify what those were or where they were found. Pope said the department was not actively searching for any suspects outside the house.
Confirmed: Benoit Death Is A Double Murder-Suicide
http://www.wrestlezone.com/article.php?articleid=184835602
The following is from WWE.com:
It has been ruled that the deaths of Chris Benoit, his wife Nancy and their son Daniel earlier today were the result of a double murder-suicide from within the home. WWE.com will have more as soon as it becomes available.
FOX News: Benoit Accused Of Killing Wife, Son, & Himself
http://www.wrestlezone.com/article.php?articleid=184834733
Detective Bo Turner told television station WAGA that the case was being investigated as a murder-suicide, but said that could not be confirmed until the evidence was examined by a crime lab.
WAGA reported that investigators believe Benoit killed his wife and son over the weekend, and then himself sometime Monday.
A concerned neighbor called police. The bodies were found in three different rooms.
The lead investigator, Sheriff's Lt. Tommy Pope, told The Associated Press that the deaths were being investigated as homicide, and said the cause of death awaited autopsy results on Tuesday.
Pope said the three were found about 2:30 p.m., but he would release no other details about the deaths at the house in a subdivision near White Water Country Club.
World Wrestling Entertainment said on its Web site that Benoit, 40, his wife, Nancy, and son, who was named Daniel, were found dead, but also had no other details.
'Instruments Of Death' Found In Benoit's Home?
http://www.wrestlezone.com/article.php?articleid=184833087
The following is from ABCNews.com:
Wrestling star Chris Benoit, his wife, Nancy, and their 7-year-old son Daniel were found dead in their suburban Atlanta home Monday. The deaths are being investigated as a possible suicide and double homicide, authorities told ABC News.
Lt. Tommy Pope of the Fayette County Sheriff's Department told ABC News that Benoit had missed several appointments over the weekend, leading concerned parties to ask police to do a "welfare check." When sheriffs arrived at the Benoits' home, they found the wrestler, his wife, and their son dead.
There were no signs of gunshot wounds or stabbing, according to Pope. Authorities are not ruling out other causes, such as poisoning, suffocation, or strangulation. Pope told ABC News that his department is looking at this situation as a "possible double murder, suicide."
Pope said "the instruments of death were located on scene," but would not specify what those instruments are or where in the house the bodies were found. Pope added the department is "not actively searching for any suspects outside of the house."
An autopsy has been scheduled for Tuesday morning at 10 a.m. However, it could be weeks before there is a result.
Benoit, 40, was scheduled to spar against C.M. Punk in a pay-per-view event Sunday night in Houston for the Extreme Champion Wrestling title. But Benoit canceled before the event, citing personal reasons.
A native of Edmonton, Alberta, Benoit was known in the ring as the "Canadian Crippler."
Following the announcement of the deaths, World Wrestling Entertainment issued a statement: "Chris was beloved among his fellow superstars, and was a favorite among WWE fans for his unbelievable athleticism and wrestling ability. He always took great pride in his performance, and always showed respect for the business he loved, for his peers and towards his fans. This is a terrible tragedy and an unbearable loss. WWE extends its sincere condolences and prayers to the Benoit family and loved ones in this time of tragedy."
WWE announced that it would drop its planned Monday night line-up on the USA Network to air a three-hour tribute to Benoit.
In a sport known for bravado and bullying, Benoit was very much beloved and respected by his peers. He was passionate about his profession and served as a mentor to many younger, up-and-coming performers. As an indication of how much the fans enjoyed him, when the crowd in Houston's Toyota Center learned Sunday night that he wouldn't be there, they chanted, "We want Benoit!"

More On Benoit: Text Messages Before Death, & More
http://www.wrestlezone.com/article.php?articleid=184841074
The following is from WWE.com:
According to lead investigator Lt. Tommy Pope, of the Fayette County Sheriff’s Department, in Fayetteville, Ga., the deaths of WWE Superstar Chris Benoit, wife Nancy and son Daniel were the result of a double murder-suicide, WWE.com has learned.
Benoit failed to appear both at Saturday’s live event in Beaumont, Tx., and WWE’s Vengeance: Night of Champions in Houston Sunday night, after informing WWE of a family emergency. Several curious text messages sent by Benoit early Sunday morning prompted concerned friends to alert Richard Hering, VP of Government Relations for WWE, Inc. Hering, in turn, spoke with Fayette County sheriffs Monday, and requested that they respond to the Benoit residence to check on him and his family.
Authorities representing the Sheriff’s Department initially had a difficult time entering Benoit’s new Fayetteville home Monday afternoon, which had been guarded by two large German Shepherds roaming freely around the property. Once authorities entered the residence, they quickly located the bodies of Benoit, Nancy and Daniel. WWE was notified of the discovery at approximately 4 p.m.
At 10 p.m. Monday night, Lt. Pope held a press conference in conjunction with Scott Ballard, the district attorney for Fayette County. The press conference officially ruled authorities’ findings as a double murder-suicide from within the home.
WAGA, a FOX-owned and operated television station in Atlanta, reported that investigators believe Benoit killed his wife and 7-year-old son over the weekend, then himself on Monday.
The three bodies have been received by the Georgia Bureau of Investigation’s crime lab, in Decatur, Ga., where autopsies will be performed Tuesday morning. Toxicology reports will not become available for at least two weeks.
WWE.com has further information relating to both the investigation and the cause of death, but the Fayette County Sheriff’s Department has requested that WWE.com not release any additional details at this time.
-
so the sheriff has confirmed it as a murder-suicide, and toxicology won't be available for another 2 weeks
-
the two stories out there are he killed his wife saturday, son sunday, and himself monday. And there is also the story they the wife killed the son, he killed her out of rage for killin the son and then killed himself.
-
I believe the story about the wife killing the son then him killing her more than him killing both and killing himself. I just wouldn't imagine Chris Benoit coming home from work just to murder his family. This is some Law & Order shit right here.
-
Saying RIP to somebody who killed his family? Pathetic.
-
this is sum crazy fucked up random shit right here. straight out of a book or sum shit
-
man...hopefully his wife did it
-
Saying RIP to somebody who killed his family? Pathetic.
Yeah, I had to reserve the RIP in my post. This is so messed up...I hope all is not as it appears at the moment.
-
Saying RIP to somebody who killed his family? Pathetic.
Most of the RIPs came before the reports came in and even then we aren't sure of all the details. Better to say RIP in an act of good faith and take it back later rather than deface a man as psycho killer only to find out he didn't do it.

I rather go by guilty until proven innocent. But of course I can see how hard it is for a great fan of his. I personally never got into wrestling and to me he's just a random dude killing his family and then himself.

I'm not saying this because I'm a fan. I'm saying it because I'm a human being. I never assume guilty. And unless your a complete fuck head neither do you. I just don't think you want to retract your statement. That's fine. You have every right to be an asshole, and maybe if someone close to you were ever found in a situation like this you wouldn't mind people assuming he was guilty. Me personally would mind it very little because it just shows the ignorance of the accusers and doesn't affect the integrity of the man in question. I don't know Chris Benoit and I'm not going to defend him any more than I would any other complete stranger, but just like I wouldn't jump to conclusions for a complete stranger I won't with Chris Benoit.
Of course, regardless of what happened. I'll still say RIP Chris Benoit and his family. If they were murdered by an outsider, or killed by Chris himself. At it's worst it's a troubled man who acted so horribly that he couldn't take it anymore and I hope the grace of God comes to them all. I'll say that about anyone after they pass. RIP Adolph Fucking Hitler, whether his orders killed direct members of my family or not. (and they did).
-
^That's fucked up. Unless the P stands for "piss".
-
This whole situation is just really crazy. It's still a little too early to tell exactly how everything happened, but like someone posted a little earlier, it's NOT looking too good...
-
What a dumb motherfuckin white boy. i hope he rots in hell for killin his wife and kid

This is some crazy, fucked up shit.

crazy huh?
another update in the story
The AP reported that law enforcement officials close to the investigation have confirmed the current belief that Chris Benoit strangled wife Nancy with an electrical chord on Saturday, smothered his son with a bag on Sunday and then hung himself in his basement/weight room on Monday.
:o unbeleivable, surely the steroids going to his head, from what iv heard of him he was a family man, who loved his kids and was alays a guy people could go to, this is crazy

Rest In Piss (Chris Benoit)
-
Steroids are a bitch when you get a bad reaction to them so i'm not blaming Chris 100% for this. I still say RIP for the person he was before all this shit happened.
Plus Daniel watched Vengeance with Chris after he killed Nancy? nah something else has to be behind all this unless Chris had Daniel held down and tied up or something

ill find where i read tht
-
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.
-
Bet that they make a movie on this.

Bet that they make a movie on this.
Probably a made for TV movie.

R.I.P to all 3 of them...Im not one to really believe what the news says...

News conference notes from Fayetteville, GA:
From: WGGL shown on Fox News
- Lt. Pope: WWE called police officials at 2:30PM on Monday over concern for Benoit’s well being. Police found all three bodies in the home. “Double Homicide Suicide” is the official ruling.
- It appears Benoit killed his wife on Friday, his son shortly after, and likely hanged himself either late Saturday night or early Sunday.
- No suicide note was left behind.
- Asphyxiation is the official ruling for Benoit’s wife and son deaths.
- Benoit was previously arrested for a DUI.
- A lot of prescription medication was found in the home, legal prescriptions.
- Police found anabolic steroids in the home.
- No comment from police regarding a possible motivation.
- He killed himself several hours, but no more than a day, after killing son Daniel.
- Police is unaware of prior domestic violence.
- District Attorney Scott Ballard stated that a Bible was placed near each murder victim.
- Benoit bond Nancy’s hands and feet and she was wrapped in a towel. Blood was found near Nancy’s body.
- In 2003, a temporary restraining order was sought but later dropped.
- Benoit made no attempt to hide the bodies.
- The DA himself has not heard from WWE.
- Daniel was found in an upstairs bedroom. Benoit’s wife was also found in an upstairs family room, and Benoit hung himself in the weight room in the basement.
- The toxicology reports are still pending. It will probably take more than two weeks for the reports to be finished.
- Benoit apparently called WWE stating that Daniel was coughing up blood, thus likely the “personal reasons” for missing weekend house shows.

they'll never understand the motivation

In speaking with close friends and confidants of Chris Benoit contacted this afternoon, apparently there were some warning signs that something was wrong with Benoit.
Some of the information learned by 1Wrestling.com by colleagues and friends that did not want to be quoted:
"This wasn't roid rage, this was insanity. Roid rage doesn't last for 48 hours. There were signs that something was wrong. Stories have emerged that a year ago he became paranoid and believed he was being followed. He wouldn't let Nancy leave the house because he believed someone was out to get them."
“Chris hated religion. He didn't believe in it. I cannot comprehend him putting bibles by the bodies. I am shocked.”
In addition, 1Wrestling has learned that sources close to Nancy are reporting that she had a safety deposit box with evidence of past rages and that authorities should check the box if anything ever happened to her
-
^That's fucked up. Unless the P stands for "piss".
Forgive my compassion. If it went down exactly as it's being assumed the guy clearly wasn't right in the head.
This whole thing just sounds so insane. I wonder what the toxology reports will reveal. I wouldn't rule out a triple murder just yet. With how crazy this thing is already I wonder if some nut job fan went too far. I also wonder if Kevin Sullivan is being seriously questioned.

I also wonder if Kevin Sullivan is being seriously questioned.
Why would he?

this guy was totally fucked in the head :-\
interesting to see what comes of this safety deposit box

I also wonder if Kevin Sullivan is being seriously questioned.
Why would he?
I remember a lot of reports way back in the WCW days of Sullivan not being too pleased with Benoit taking his wife and he has his own crazy past. I'm not implying it was him. I'm just saying with how crazy this thing is already I wouldn't be shocked if all angles are being investigated.

Godamnit Shallow, grow up! Stop coming up with all these bs scenarios just because your in denial that this was all benoit. Im sickened and sad to but just face it that Benoit killed them AND NO ONE ELSE. No one else has anything do to with this, grow up put your feelings aside and just admit what has already been confirmed, BENOIT KILLED HIS FAMILY!

wow this shit gets crazier.....
"In an interview with ESPN.com on Tuesday, Ballard indicated that the boy had needle marks in his arms. The district attorney said he believed that the boy had been given growth hormones for some time because the family considered him undersized."

wow that is messed :-\
also those text messages they have in that story make it seem like he ain't know what was going on (he knew his wife and son where "sick" while they where dead? :-\
but at the same time, it seemed like he attempted at getting a neighbour to come and find the bodies which suggest he knew what was going on

Fuck man, this story gets more tragic by the minute. Fuckin' sad man, makes me sick to my stomach.

Mark Mero aka Johnny B. Badd lives here in Orlando and he calls into this talk radio show often and today he said someone needs to have a full scale investigation into the WWE. He said if 20 or members died well before their time within a few years of another organization (i.e. NFL,NBA,Boxing..even said Broadway actors) that the feds would be on that in a heartbeat.

Benoit's son apparently had a disease

the story gets more and more depressing
Credit: PWTorch.com
A woman tells News 1130 in Vancouver, B.C. that Chris Benoit's son Daniel had a condition called Fragile X syndrome. Wikipedia describes the symptoms:
Aside from intellectual disability (mental retardation), prominent characteristics of the syndrome include an elongated face, large or protruding ears, flat feet, larger testicals in men (macroorchidism), and low muscle tone. Behavioral characteristics may include stereotypic movements (e.g., hand-flapping) and atypical social development, particularly shyness and limited eye contact. Some individuals with the fragile X syndrome also meet the diagnostic criteria for autism. While full mutation males tend to present with severe intellectual disability, the symptomology of full mutation females runs the gamut of minimally affected to severe intellectual disability, which may explain why females are underdiagnosed relative to males.
The woman interviewed for the News 1130 story says her family was in contact with the Benoits, but they didn't want to go public with the disease and chose to keep things low profile. She added that families can be torn apart by the disease because it's very difficult to find help and support. She said, "You as a parent have to go out there and find what's available and it's not easy --they don't tell you."
This may explain why Daniel was taking growth hormone injections. It also may shed light onto why Chris didn't want someone else raising his son and made the fateful decision to kill him. As irrrational and twisted as it may sound, he may have felt he was saving his son from the double-blow of losing his parents through a murder-suicide and being subject to being raised by people who didn't understand or care for his condition.

What's it matter? If there's nothing after then he's dead and that's final, if there is something after, a better place then certainly his son and wife would be there. So if the kid and the woman are in paradise then what does it matter where he is?

-
Damn JR talks sooo much sense, i try to read his blog as much as possible and he seems so down to earth, heres what he had to say on the benoit thing
RAW color commentator Jim Ross released the following comments concerning the Chris Benoit Tragedy, the media, and this past Monday's RAW on his web site:
The senseless and tragic death of the 3 people in the double murder-suicide that occurred over the weekend in the Benoit’s home in an Atlanta suburb is a nightmare that one still wants to awake from. For those of us that knew Chris, Nancy, and Daniel on a personal level it is still hard to believe that this horrific event could even occur much less why.
The last time I saw the three of them together was at Wrestlemania 23 and my wife and I had a long visit with the Benoits and at no time could one detect that there were any issues whatsoever. I even had the occasion to speak at length privately to Nancy and she said things were fine at home. As well as Nancy and I knew each other, if that had not been the case, she would have inferred otherwise I assure you. Like so many others who attended the event on that night, the Benoit family was happy and enjoying the moment.
So what happened? I do not know. No one knows. We will hopefully know more when the toxicology reports are completed. Until then all anyone has, including the media, is supposition based on speculation. To garner ratings, the media will continue to make this as huge a story as possible, even without all the facts. That’s the business in which they are involved. Remember when the media, without all the facts, essentially convicted the Duke Lacrosse team several months ago only to find out that there was no case but in the spirit of ratings and to scoop the competition, the three young men from the Duke Lacrosse team were in essence ruled guilty by the media?
I know this damn sure isn’t a Duke Lacrosse matter or even remotely close, because two innocent people are dead. But again we hear the media rush to judgment about why and how this horrific chain of events came to pass, but still without the evidence or a valid motive. So then why are three people dead? What caused this irrational and totally uncharacteristic behavior from an individual who hereto for had never demonstrated such tendencies in his workplace, not even once? I don’t know and neither does anyone else until the medical examiner can provide more information and then there will be most likely questions in this matter than may never be answered. I know this, God knows and he will deal with this matter accordingly.
Plus, some of those who have or are loosely associated with wrestling and who are making statements with little or no background of the facts of this matter or who simply want another 15 minutes are in a large sense pathetic.
The bottom line is that a woman and a small child are dead of murder and that is an utter shame. That act is inexcusable. The victim’s families need to be held close to our hearts and in our prayers. Let’s consider putting forth as much passion and effort in prayer and reflection as some are in playing amateur detective and wannabe investigative reporters. Let’s spend a little more time with our own families while we are at it, because there are no guarantees about tomorrow and we should covet every day we are blessed to have with our loved ones. I know this, I am going to do all I can to spend more time with family and friends than ever before as this sad situation has slapped me in the face in more ways than one.
I have had friends who questioned the Benoit-themed Monday Night Raw, especially in light of the events that occurred in the Benoit home. For all those who seem to know all the answers and seemingly like to give the appearance of having 20/20 vision after the fact let me add this; when we went on the air at 7 p.m. central time, all we knew was that the police, at the WWE’s urging, had gone to the home and had found three dead bodies in the Benoit home Monday afternoon. This information was confirmed to us late in the day Monday in Corpus Christi and that was all we knew. There was no talk from the authorities themselves of a double murder suicide that was relayed to us in Texas. The facts came out as the night progressed and more facts are still being released several days after this unspeakable nightmare.
Obviously, and in my opinion, if the WWE had known the information of what had actually happened in suburban Atlanta over the weekend, a different decision regarding Monday’s three hour retrospective to Benoit’s career would have obviously been different.
I know that Benoit’s behavior was totally uncharacteristic of him, as I knew him over so many years as he was one of the most professional and polite men with which I have ever been associated. I don’t know why this sickening chain of events happened, but murder, especially taking one’s own child’s life, is unpardonable. I am anxious to read the results of the toxicology reports as the next curious individual but the bottom line is that 3 people are dead including a mother and her son.
It is not too late for all of us to change how we deal with our own families and our friends and to honor every day we have the privilege of being on this earth. Remember, we are all only passing through, so take every day as a gift and continue to count all one’s blessings.
Today can truly be the first day in the rest of our lives. God Bless all of you that are suffering. Lean on God…He can handle it.

lmao at fuckheads that dont have a clue about wrestling but try to act like they do!
From Dr. Keith Lipinski: Nancy Grace to Bret Hart from earlier tonight: Bret, I know that Mr. Benoit went from being one of the elite in the business wrestling in the 4 horsemen and recently got demoted to Raw. Was that affecting him?

theres a picture up at www.prowrestlingscoops.com and probably other websites too of benoit at the doctore smiling a couple of hours before he supposidly went home and killed his wife! shocking as he looks quite content

the wikipedia thing is totally fucked up...at first i thought benoit did it (in a sick and twisted way) but i guess it couldn't of been him since it came from Stanford, Ct...hopefully they find out who this is (i'm guessing they will, they got the IP address) and it helps answer some questions..

The following is from Wikipedia.com:
The anonymous individual responsible for suggesting, 14 hours before police discovered the body, that WWE wrestler Chris Benoit's wife was dead is confessing, saying his/her comment was a "terrible coincidence."
The anonymous editor left a lengthy apology to the Wikimedia community, explaining, "I hope this puts an end to this speculation that someone knew about the tragedy before it was discovered."
Below is the full, unedited apology:
"... Hey everyone. I am here to talk about the wikipedia comment that was left by myself. I just want to say that it was an incredible coincidence. Last weekend, I had heard about Chris Benoit no showing Vengeance because of a family emergency, and I had heard rumors about why that was. I was reading rumors and speculation about this matter online, and one of them included that his wife may have passed away, and I did the wrong thing by posting it on wikipedia to spite there being no evidence. I posted my speculation on the situation at the time and I am deeply sorry about this, and I was just as shocked as everyone when I heard that this actually would happen in real life. It is one of those things that just turned into a huge coincidence. That night I found out that what I posted, ended up actually happening, a 1 in 10,000 chance of happening, or so I thought. I was beyond wrong for posting wrongful information, and I am sorry to everyone for this. I just want everyone to know it was stupid of me, and I will never do anything like this again. I just posted something that was at that time a piece of wrong unsourced information that is typical on wikipedia, as it is done all the time.
Nonetheless, I feel incredibly bad for all the attention this got because of the fact that what I said turned out to be the truth. Like I said it was just a major coincidence, and I will never vandalize anything on wikipedia or post wrongful information. I've learned from this experience. I just can't believe what I wrote was actually the case, I've remained stunned and saddened over it.
I wish not to reveal my identity so I can keep me and my family out of this since they have nothing to do with anything. I am not connected to WWE or Benoit at all in anyway. I am from Stamford as the IP address shows, and I am just an everyday individual who posted a wrongful remark at the time that received so much attention because it turned out to actually happen. I will say again I didn't know anything about the Benoit tragedy, it was a terrible coincidence that I never saw coming.
I hope this puts an end to this speculation that someone knew about the tragedy before it was discovered. It was just a rumor that I had heard about from other people online who were speculating what the family emergency Chris was attending to. I made a big mistake by posting this comment on his page, since all we had were what we thought was going on and nothing about what actually was going on yet, and sadly what happened turned out to be my speculation at the time. I assumed wiki would edit out my information, which they did, so thats why I didn't go back to edit it out myself.
I know I keep repeating it but I feel terrible about the mainstream coverage this has received, since it was only a huge coincidence and a terrible event that should of never happened. I am not sure how to react, as hearing about my message becoming a huge part of the Benoit slayings made me feel terrible as everyone believes that it is connected to the tragedy, but it was just an awful coincidence. That is all I have to say, I will never post anything here again unless it is pure fact, no spam nothing like that. Thank you, and let this end this chapter of the Benoit story, and hopefully one day we will find out why this tragedy ever actually happened."
