It was going to come up, and I wanted to do so. I grew up watching WCW, and loved to hate Benoit. He grew on me, and I grew up watching him make people submit over and over again. I am quite saddened and really find it hard to convince myself he could not have done something like this. Well, here is the story as of early Tuesday morning...

Benoit's death part of a double murder-suicide
Written: June 25, 2007

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.

According to the Fayette County Police Department, the placement of the bodies in the Benoit residence went like this:

Chris Benoit - Weight room (killed on Mon.)
Nancy - Living room (killed on Sat.)
Daniel - His bedroom (killed on Sun.)

You can see people in the army killing their wife and son but it goes to show that you never know a person. Even people do hide what they feel inside at times and don't forget that Chris had to deal with the death of his friend Eddie Guerrero. Benoit probably felt alot of stress and probably could not keep up with the demands of WWE. Still it was shocking to hear that.
