If the time of deaths are ruled by the coroner to be the wife on Saturday, kid on Sunday, and Benoit on Monday... I can't think of any other senario besides Benoit losing his mind and killing his family in an extremely disturbing manner.
If those times are proven correct it means that Benoit most likey killed his wife and spent at least 12 to 24 hours either holding his son hostage or exposing him to a horror I'd rather not write out. After that he kills his son and wallows in his demented state for another several hours until going out on Monday.
The amount of steroids wrastlers ingest could make an elephant go crazy. Mix that with cocaine binges and you have the reason why a good number of them end up in a similar boat.

they test for roids now
benoit was clean...always was. no drugs for him
bull I'm not even gonna watch that video.
100% roids
What the ???
How old was his son, and how did he kill him and his wife?
some ed up , I don't know how people do this .
^^ yeah no way he used roids
Pretty tragic, totally indefensible .
Provided the double-murder/suicide part is true, him I hope his name gets trashed to the .
Who the kills there own blood?
Who the leaves two orphans?
.
I think he did steroids but I don't think he was on them at the time this happened. Just because you stop taking steroids, doesn't mean you all of a sudden lose all your musculature. He seemed like a genuinely good guy every time I watched him, but I suppose he could have been on cocaine.
I hope this turns different than the rampant assumptions being made. Although I never liked him as a wrestler, he looked like a good person.
Until it comes out otherwise, I'll believe Benoit didn't kill his wife and son.

7.
a gun was involved and it was over a 3 day period.. I'm going by what I heard.
Benoit's 2 other sons were not there.
Here's the scary part.
In the past, whenever a wrestler passed away, some the wrestlers gave their thoughts about the person and would go on to the next guy.
Then comes in Chavo.
Chavo Guerro Jr. claimed he got in touch with Benoit over the weekend and before they hung up, Chris out of the blue told him "I love you chavo"..

Damn.
I started watching wrestling again in the mid 90's and Chris Benoit was the reason for it....was the only guy I would have paid to watch wrestle, because he always gave his all in the ring.
This is an incredily sad day for me, as this guy was one of my favorite celebrities ever.
And Blaze...it's always easy to bash McMahon...but not when it comes to Benoit.
It's safe to say that no promoter did more for Benoit's career or treated him with more respect than McMahon...and that probably says more about Benoit than it does about McMahon...but the fact remains, McMahon was the only American promoter to ever show much faith in Benoit and give him a chance to carry the belt for an extended period.
WrestlemaniaXX was the highlight of Benoit's career...and Benoit would be the first one to say that.
McMahon but the belt on the little 5'9 Canadian at MSG over two of the most pushed wrestler ever and in doing so created probably the greatest feel good moment ever in wrestling(I mean a real feel good moment).
Man...no more wrestling for me, this guy was the last one I cared about watching wrestle...I like Flair...but he needed to retire about 20 years ago.
He will be missed in the wrestling business...more than any wrestler that has passed away ever IMO.

Damn...I am just read the part about the wife and kid and suspected murder suicide.
Jeeezus
Not that it will bring them back, but god I hope Benoit didn't do that...I'd never think he was capable of something like that, the dude never said a cross word about anyone and was liked by just about everyone...never had an at ude, was alwasy a professional...
But honestly, that sounds like a lot guys that did off their wife and kids before commiting suicide. It's always the nice quiet ones that seem to do that.
IF he came home and caught his wife having an affair or something...he just might have done something like this. I don't know.
I hope that info is wrong...at the same time, it's hard for me to believe anyone other than Kevin Sullivan would have a grudge against Benoit....and he'd have taken care of that long ago.
Damn...tragic.
IMO Benoit did roids..but so have every other wrestler to debut in the last 20 years...it's either do them, or you don't have a career. Actually...it's kind of been that way as long as they have been around. Benoit was too small to have the size to be a credible American Heavyweight without doing them IMO.
As for whether or not they could have been a cause of this...definitely. They have been proven to cause rage and loss of control...but you would think Benoit would have something in his past showing a loss of control over them...and there's nothing. This guy was spiritual about wrestling. Never really badmouthed anyone, always helped the younger guys...
This is insane. I am in shock. I can't believe this happened.
RIP to the Benoit family.
whottt, didn't you once compare this Benoit guy to David Robinson in terms of character?
Hopefully he didn't kill his wife and kid. Steroids can make someone lose it but this would be pretty drastic to just blame on steroids. Especially since it was over a period of time and not just something that happened in an instant.
Damn, this guy was a multi millionaire and probably the most respected wrestler worldwide. He was so respected because of the way he carried himself in such a cutthroat business like wrestling...more than one guy has said he was one of the only real people in the business(Eddie was usually mentioned as being the other).
There are a lot of people caught off guard by the idea that he could be a murderer...
And steroids are one thing...
But there are other drugs that can cause you do to this sort of thing...like Paxil, it comes with a warning you may have homicidal and suicidal feelings during the first 48 hours of using it....because several peolple have murdered their families and or commited suicide after taking it.
I am witholding judgement on this until more details come out...it's so easy to assume the worst at first, but this guy was so respected and so well liked by so many people, and always seemed to be such a good dude, I mean this guy had the respect of both Bret Hart and Vince McMahon...that's next to impossible...it's just hard to accept he would do something like this, in the fashion it seems to have been done....no matter the evidence.
Hmmm...he wasn't as good of a man as Drob...and I would never have made that claim.
His wife was Nancy Sullivan AKA Woman...a former valet/manager/wrestler that was married to Kevin Suillivan...
When Benoit was first being pushed by WCW Kevin Sullivan was the booker for WCW and he booked an angle where he(Sullivan) and Benoit feuded after Benoit had an affair with Nancy....then it actually happened and Nancy Sullivan left Sullivan for Benoit....
Talk about some great ing wrestling matches too...anyone that thinks wrestling is fake needs to go and watch the Sullivan Benoit Brawl...
Needless to say...Benoit's career was kind of ed at WCW after that.
So no...for that reason I would never straight up compare him to Drob. There's no one that compares to Drob really...
And you know, I hope that always remains true.
However...he was like Drob in that he was never really about himself, or about his own ego.....and like Drob...he didn't get much respect from the mainstream fans during his career. Similar in their work ethic and duty...but not the same goals in life...Benoit was a pure wrestler, who gave the fans blood sweat and tears...above any other wrestler, night in and night out.
...Drob is a lot more than a pure basketball player.
See....there is some background here where it wouldn't surprise me if this was a murder and Benoit just offed himself...
When he and Eddie Gurerro and Malenko and Saturn left WCW for WWE...he flushed the careers of Sullivan and some other people...
It's weird how he and Eddie Gurerro both died after a show in Texas.
Kevin Sullivan is a turd and a vindictive one, who was univerally despised by just about everyone other than Hulk Hogan and the Outsiders. Benoit OTOH was liked and respected by just about everyone...and likewise, he liked and respected just about everyone.
I read they were about to put the ECW le on Benoit...
This would have made him the only man to carry the WCW, WWW and ECW Heavyweight and Tag Team Belts...that's a huge high mark...
IT's just hard for me to believe he would be depressed about something like that.
I just don't know...this is too ing weird.
But anyway, Benoit was like Drob in some ways...but no, he wasn't Drob.

Benoit is also Rasheed Wallace's favorite wrestler...
Man...I just went back and watched the end of WrestlemaniaXX
After Benoit wins the belt Eddie Gurerro comes out and gives him a hug...then Benoit's wife, kids and parents join him in the ring...
He picks up his wife and hugs her, then picks up his children and kisses them...
And it was all real...that's what made it so awesome, you never see that sort of stuff after most le matches...No wrestlers ever have their family come into celebrate with them after winning the big belt...because the business is so jaded and cynical, but when he won, he was a guy that had worked so hard for so long to get that kind of trust, and it was nice to see someone finally trust him to carry the belt.
If you see the way he hugs his kids and wife at the end of WrestlemaniaXX, you'll understand why it's so shocking to find out he might have murdered them. This guy was so respected he's in just about every Wrestling HOF while he was still an active wrestler...for years now he's been in a lot of them.
Benoit's other son and daughter were from his first marriage - technically he didn't leave any orphans, they still have their mom.
Not that it makes what happened any better
WWE.com doesnt have anything up about Benoit now, I wonder if he did do it and they are trying to distance himself from it.
I found this article from the county that found his body

Deaths of wrestler, family ‘a little bizarre’
By Debbie Newby

FAYETTEVILLE, Ga. — Pro wrestler Chris Benoit canceled a pay-per-view appearance at the “Vengeance” event in Houston because of “personal reasons” a day before he, his wife and their 7-year-old son were found dead in an apparent murder-suicide.
Details of the deaths “are going to prove a little bizarre” when released to the public, Fayette County District Attorney Scott Ballard told the Atlanta Journal-Cons ution. Autopsies were scheduled Tuesday by the Georgia Bureau of Investigation in DeKalb County.
Authorities were investigating the deaths at a secluded Fayette County home as a murder-suicide and were not seeking any suspects.
Investigators believe Benoit, (pronounced ben-WAH) killed his wife and son over the weekend and then himself sometime Monday. The bodies were found Monday afternoon in three different rooms of the house on Green Meadow Lane, in a subdivision off a gravel road about two miles from the Whitewater Country Club.
Ballard told The Associated Press a gun was not used in any of the deaths. But he declined to say how the three died.
“We’re pretty sure we know, but we want to confirm it with the crime lab,” Ballard said early Tuesday.
Fayette County Coroner C.J. Mowell did not return phone calls. The answering service for his funeral home said he was out of town.
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.”
Sheriff’s Lt. Tommy Pope told WSB-TV that the three were found about 2:30 p.m., but he wouldn’t release other details.
Stamford, Conn.-based WWE also said on its Web site it had been asked by authorities not to release further information on the deaths of Benoit, 40; his wife, Nancy, 43; and son, Daniel.
Benoit was born in Montreal. He was a former world heavyweight champion, Intercontinental champion and held several tag-team les over his career. He was known by several names including “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.
Benoit had maintained a home in metro Atlanta from the time he wrestled for the defunct World Championship Wrestling.
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,” The Atlanta Journal-Cons ution reported.
They met when her then-husband drew up a script that had them involved in a relationship as part of an ongoing story line on World Championship Wrestling, the newspaper said.
Benoit has two other children from a prior relationship.

The site is saying its being called a murder-suicide.
Very sad.WWE.com has learned that according to the Fayette County, Ga. Sheriff's Office, the deaths of Chris Benoit, his wife Nancy and their son Daniel Monday were the result of a double murder-suicide from within the home
-A WWE.com report matches details reported in last week's Torch Newsletter that WWE continues to work on a new drug testing policy with a third-party agency. The Torch Newsletter also reported that one agency WWE has worked with is the same that tests for Major League Baseball. States WWE.com: "WWE has been working diligently to complete its new wellness program for talent, which includes an aggressive drug and steroid testing program and heightened cardiovascular monitoring. The company believes it has identified a third-party that will be able to implement the program, which will be done independently of WWE, and is going through final phases of its due diligence. WWE believes the program will be ready to implement before the end of the first quarter of 2006."
Here is something I got off of another board. Not saying it's true but it puts a different spin on things...
"A GBI (Georgia Bureau of Investigations) has heard in his circle is that Chris Benoit's wife killed their son Daniel, called Chris and told him to rush home because of an emergency which is why he missed last Sunday's Vengeance PPV. Upon arriving home Benoit killed his wife in a rage for the death of his son and then killed himself Monday morning. His wife's body was found in the master bedroom, strangled with the cord from an alarm clock. The son's body was found in his room apparently suffocated with a garbage bag. Chris then wrote a suicide note explaining what had happened, apologized to his family, his other children (from a separate relationship), and his fans. He then fashioned a slip-knot noose from from rope taken from the garage and hung himself from the banister in the foyer of his suburban Atlanta home."
ok, you do realize that in not benoit....bull I'm not even gonna watch that video.
100% roids
and
they have suspended chris masters, eugene, and joey mercury as well as other wrestlers in the past months due to them violating their wellness policy.......
