Some of you might know, but I doubt most of you do, Chris Benoit was found DEAD in his Fayette County home today, along with his wife Nancy, and 7 year old son.

From the Wiki:

''On June 25, 2007, Chris, Nancy, and their son Daniel were found dead in their home in Peachtree City, Georgia[1][2]. It was first reported to fans of WWE on their WWE Mobile Alerts Service and posted to their official website soon after. Exact details are not yet known, and an investigation is ongoing.[3] On their website, World Wrestling Entertainment released the following statement[84]:

â€œ World 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.

Tonightâ€™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 familyâ€™s relatives and loved ones in this time of tragedy.
â€

WWE canceled the scheduled three hour long live RAW show on June 25, and replaced the broadcast version with a tribute to his life and career, featuring his past matches, segments from the Hard Knocks DVD and comments from wrestlers and announcers.[8]

Fayette County, Georgia police are investigating Benoit's house following the discovery of the bodies, and no details have been released other than to announce that Benoit was not shot to death,[85] and it is being investigated as a possible homicide.''

UPDATE!!! It has been ruled a double murder-suicide, with Benoit killing his wife a few days ago, then his son, and then finally taking his own life today.

You sure it's not another publicity stunt like what's-his-face blowing up in his limousine?

Chris Benoit was awesome. It's a shame that people crack like that and go kill a bunch of people before killing themselves. The same kind of thing happened with the Virginia Tech and Columbine massacre's.

Eddie died in 2005.

It was strange indeed as to why actually Chris killed himself a day after killing his wife and son. How selfish can he be? Reports said it was the steroids which made him become the way he took out the 2 of them. Ironically, there was a Bible next to the bodies.

really?? where did u read that

The Straits Times, Singapore.

The Straits Times (28 June 2007) wrote:Professional wrestler Chris Benoit strangled his wife, suffocated his seven-year-old son and placed a Bible next to their bodies before hanging himself with a weight-machine pulley, the authorities said. Investigators found anabolic steroids in the house and want to know whether the World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) muscle man was unhinged by the bodybuilding drugs, which can cause paranoia, depression and explosive outbursts known as 'roid rage'.

he was fighting with his wife about there son daniel because he is sick in a danger sickness so he got too angry he killed his wife then his son then he killed himself.

Andre_online · Post by **Andre_online** » 29 Jun 2007, 05:18

Yea, but he couldn't be so selfish that he killed himself a day later after. I mean, he's living with his dead family for a day.

Why would Chris do such a thing? I remember him as a great guy and one of the nicest wrestlers out there. Of course I haven't watched WWE in 2 years.
