This is sad sad stuff. I used to love watching him back when I was younger, the dude was pure talent, one of the best wrestlers.
SFIE and I said the same thing - after listening to all these guys holding back tears and speaking to the professionalism, the athlete, the wonderful person/father/husband he was . . . what are they thinking now? How do you reconcile that?
I have to think that he must have had some really ed up stuff going on inside his head.
Regal's reaction was telling. He would only speak of Benoit's professionalism, and wouldn't really comment otherwise. Dean Malenko, who knew him best, was also very measured.
of a torment to kill your wife and son, but if he did, well, he should have just offed himself.
Selfish bas .
thats some pretty ed up that he would kill his son and leave his other children without a mother and a father......
I'm gonna wait until the official reports come on, but this is either the tragic death of a family or the results of a cowardly human being.
More details are coming out.
FOX News: Benoit Accused Of Killing Wife, Son, & Himself
The following is from http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,286673,00.html
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.
WWE confirmed that it was Benoit responisble for the death of his wife and son.
Confirmed: Benoit Death Is A Double Murder-Suicide
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.
I found another story that was very disturbing.
Take it for what it's worth I guess.
Breaking: Benoit Kills Family Over 3 Day Period
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 to 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.

no point of jumping the gun.
wait for the official word.
Dont know what to say its horrible that he's dead but murder, suicide is even worse.
damn.
I wonder if the serious depression and possible schizo issues that some of these guys develop are a result of the tons of chemicals they ingest to build themselves up compounded by the beating they take performing the stunts night in and out? It seems interesting that several football players suicides and deaths have been contributed in part to brain damage induced depression, and it appears wrestling has the same problem. This is the most ed up thing I've seen a famous, public figure do in a while.
Eddie Guerrero one of Benoit's best friends died after being in Houston for a pay per view event the same goes for Benoit very strange coincidence
I so hope this isnt true. Chris Benoit has always been one of my favorite wrestlers always putting on great performances. last night i was upset that Benoit wasnt there to wrestle. Houston was chanting We Want BENOIT. Im so in hope those reports arent true about him. I still love watch and enjoy wrestling thanks to wrestlers like Benoit
im shaky cant even type. i cant believe this .
Just a thought does anybody else think he was involved with the mob or a drug dealing gang of some sorts he left Houston to attend to his family maybe they were being threatened or being held hostage I know this may sound a little silly or maybe too movie like but at this point I am sure almost anything is possible
anything just tell me benoit didnt do this. please i dont want it to turn out that way. anything. when i was watching wrestling my brother said he read a report that the bodies didnt have any wounds.
so i thought carbon monoxide or something
From wrestlingobserver.com:
Sources in the Fayette County Police Department have told Dave Meltzer that they are now working under the theory that Chris Benoit killed his wife on Saturday, his son on Sunday, and then himself on Monday. Benoit's body was found in his weight room, his wife's body was found in the living room, and his son's body was found in his bedroom.
Exactly that's what I had heard from my brother as well no gunshot wounds on the body's or even the home this is all very disturbing and bizarre and like you I hope and pray that it was not him who took the life of his son and wife
Did you see Chavo Guerrero's reaction? His was the opposite. His was the longest of them all and quite emotional. And he mentioned that he talked to Chris on the phone this past Saturday, and before he hung up, Chris said "I love you Chavo." That does not seem like something a very private and quiet person like Chris would freely say.
It was reported that some of Benoit's friend alerted authorities when they were sent disturbing text messages. Who knows what the is going on at this point, but Saturday falls in the timeline of the killings.Did you see Chavo Guerrero's reaction? His was the opposite. His was the longest of them all and quite emotional. And he mentioned that he talked to Chris on the phone this past Saturday, and before he hung up, Chris said "I love you Chavo."

To anyone who is a fan of wrestling (not just WWE's soap opera crap), this is a nightmare scenario. Benoit was worshiped as one of the good guys who worked his way to the top through sheer ability, technical prowess, and unwavering dedication. And, whether because he was completely unstable, undone by the industry, or just an awful human being, that's all been thrown away.
Edge was very emotional as well. Everyone loved and respected Benoit. If Benoit did this maybe we are all capable of murder. im so in confused and saddend right now
I'd like to think that Chris Benoit was not the blueprint for humanity.
Id hate to think that he wasnt
anyone is capable of anything.....
life is about how you as an individual react to the situations presented to you.
some peoples true colors come out when the pressure is on and they are exposed as pieces of and weak individuals
but hey, for better or for worse, thats life.
time doesnt stop.
move on.
And for the record, Raw should have went on tonight as scheduled.
So many rumors and such a bizarre disturbing case one of the most that I have seen in a while I guess since Phil Hartman
I still dont believe Benoit Did anything. Benoit is not a piece of and you for thinking Raw should just go on. You
One Report says he left the pay per view yesterday bcuz his wife and kid were coughing up blood. maybe he found them dead and took himself. This man is Very RESPECTED and i hope these reports arent true
