Suicide is pathetic, but homicide and then suicide takes the cake.

 

Why do people have to end other people's lives instead of just their own? I really don't get it.

I remember this guy from when i used to watch it years ago. I guess the pressure from the fame got to him and he cracked.

Benoit's death part of a double murder-suicide

Written: June 25, 2007According 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, Texas, 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 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.

And wrestling is still fake.
What's that have to do with what happened? Absolutely nothing, go die.

 

Police say he killed his wife friday night, then his son on saturday morning, then hanged himself latter saturday. A lot of legal perscription medication was found, but they don't have a list of what was there. Included was anabolic steroids. There wasn't a suicide letter, and no apparent motive right now. Police are not going into the contents of the text messages that were sent from Benoit to other wrestlers. Toxicology reports will take a week maybe two, police are not commenting on weather or not steroids played a part in his mental state at the time of the murders. A bible was placed becide his son and wife. His wife was bound at the feet and wrists and there was a little blood by her head, she was wrapped in a towel, fully clothed. No evidence that he was trying to hide the bodies, he left them out. No signs of a struggle on Daniel's body which was found in his room. Nancy's body was in a family room, Chris's body was in the weight room and he used the cord of his weight equipment to hang himself. No bible was found by Chris.

 

People are speculating "roid rage" which has been described as a blind rage that can last numerous days due to the body not having enough testoterone. In past victums people have been known to kill over a 2-3 day period in a complete fit of anger, then come down, realize what has happened, then kill themselves. If other perscription drugs and booze were involved it could only fuel the rage.

 

Look for the WWE to come under a microscope now for steroids (again). 60 wrestlers have died over the past 15 years under the age of 50. Expect Vince to take the wrap for this.

Lol you've got 1 !@#$%^&* of a odd way of looking at what makes a good person.

Making a weekend out of killing your family isn't exactly sainthood induction material.

Its probably a mix of the pressures !@#$%^&*ociated with the profession, steroids and other factors, perhaps a hard time at home, causing him to lose his mind.

 

If this is the case you would think someone would notice before breaking point though.
