Don't bother buddy...if this is true, and all indications are they are.....no one here should be offended by anything you or dimer or anyone else says if they blast Benoit.

It's un-acceptable...there is NO excuse in the world to do what he did. NONE.

I'm done with it now.

the only other thing i think could have been is the wife hurt or killed the son then chris went off on her for that took the son out of his pain and had nothing left to live for..there is a guy that works for the newspaper here in town that used to be a beat writer with wcw and said chris was a great guy but who knows

That sounds a little far fetched, but we probably will never know

Found this article from an early newspaper

It said he had kids, were are the other kids. Thank God they werent with him

By The Edmonton Sun
One doesn't expect the Canadian Crippler to nestle down amidst suburbia's white picket fences.
But then the hulking steeled frame, also known as Chris Benoit, who lives with his wife and three kids in Sherwood Park, is full of surprises.
The World Wrestling Federation's Intercontinental champion will flex his five-foot-10, 220-pound body in a faceoff with other WWF beasts at the Skyreach Centre at 5 p.m. today, his first appearance in our city since his Stampede Wrestling days. It's a bonus to fight in your backyard, especially when a demanding schedule means the 32-year-old devoted dad only makes it home about once a month.
The Montreal-born Benoit, who moved to Edmonton when he was 12 years old, is happiest hanging with his family.

ATLANTA -- Pro wrestler Chris Benoit strangled his wife and smothered his son before hanging himself in his weight room, a law enforcement official close to the investigation told The Associated Press on Tuesday.

Authorities are investigating whether steroids may have been a factor in the deaths of Chris Benoit, above, his wife and child.

Authorities also said they are investigating whether steroids may have been a factor in the deaths of Benoit, his wife and their 7-year-old son. Steroid abuse has been linked to depression, paranoia, and aggressive behavior or angry outbursts known as "roid rage."

"We don't know yet. That's one of the things we'll be looking at," Fayette County District Attorney Scott Ballard said, adding test results may not be back for weeks.

Autopsies were scheduled Tuesday by the Georgia Bureau of Investigation.

Authorities were investigating the deaths at a secluded Fayette County home as a murder-suicide and were not seeking any suspects. The official who described the manner of death spoke on the condition of anonymity because the information was to be released at a news conference later Tuesday.

Investigators believe Benoit (pronounced ben-WAH) killed his wife, 43-year-old Nancy, and son Daniel during the weekend and then himself Monday. The bodies were found Monday afternoon in three separate rooms of the house, off a gravel road about two miles from the Whitewater Country Club.

Fayette County Coroner C.J. Mowell did not return calls seeking comment. The answering service for his funeral home said he was out of town.

Asked about the condition of the interior of the house, sheriff's Sgt. Keith Whiteside said investigators found "nothing really out of the ordinary." He said Benoit was found in the home's weight room, his wife in an office and the son in an upstairs bedroom.

Neighbors said the Benoits led a low-key lifestyle.

"We would see Chris walking in his yard from time to time. He wasn't rude, but he wasn't really outwardly warm," said Alaina Jones, who lives across the street.

Jimmy Baswell, who was Benoit's driver for more than five years, placed a white wreath at the Benoits' gate. "They always seemed like they were the happiest people," he said.

World Wrestling Entertainment said on its Web site that it asked authorities to check on Benoit and his family after being alerted by friends who received "several curious text messages sent by Benoit early Sunday morning."

The WWE, based in Stamford, Conn., said authorities asked that it not release further information on the deaths.

Benoit, born in Montreal, was a former world heavyweight champion, Intercontinental champion and held several tag-team titles. His names in the ring included "The Canadian Crippler."

"WWE extends its sincerest thoughts and prayers to the Benoit family's relatives and loved ones in this time of tragedy," the company said in a statement on its Web site.

"He was like a family member to me, and everyone in my family is taking it real hard," said fellow Canadian Bret Hart, a five-time champion with the World Wrestling Federation. The federation has since changed its name to World Wrestling Entertainment.

Benoit had maintained a home in metro Atlanta from the time he wrestled for the defunct World Championship Wrestling. The Fayette County Tax Assessors Office lists the value of the house, situated on more than 8.5 acres, at nearly $900,000.

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.

Benoit's wife managed several wrestlers and went by the stage name "Woman." They met when her then-husband drew up a script that had them involved in a relationship as part of a story line on World Championship Wrestling, The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported.

Benoit has two other children from a prior relationship.

No one will ever really know the truth.
Could the wife had killed the son because maybe Chris threatened to take him away from her? So he strangled her, and then killed himself.
Or did he do it all? Either way, it's a sad day when this happens to any-one's family. Steroids definitely could have caused him to do this.

I moved where I did this year to one of the lowest crime rated cities in America. I just got tired myself, going back to the old neighborhood where I grew up in Pgh every day, and seeing all the groups of young gang kids fucking the community up.

Of course Benoit was on steroids. 40 year old guys don't get bigger and bigger and bigger without a little help.

However, it has nothing to do with killing the son. I can see him going into a rage and killing the wife as a crime of passion, but the killing of the son, the next day, is premeditated.

Some kind of mental illness is my guess.

Oh, by the by, he has a history of domestic violence.
