they didnt announce he wasnt going to be there unitl 41 minutes into the show?I heard it was a family emergency. That just shows you what kind of guy he is.He was supposed to win the ecw title,but as soon as he heard something happened he went home.There are bigger things in life than wrestling.

On June 25, 2007, Benoit, his wife Nancy Daus, and their son Daniel were found dead in their Fayetteville, Georgia, home at around 2:30 PM EDT. It was first reported to fans of WWE on their WWE Mobile Alerts Service and posted to their official website soon after. Exact details are not yet known, and an investigation is ongoing. On their website, World Wrestling Entertainment released the following statement:
World Wrestling Entertainment is deeply saddened to report that today Chris Benoit and his family were found dead in their home. There are no further details at this time, other than the Benoit family residence is currently being investigated by local authorities.
Tonight’s Raw on USA Network will serve as a tribute to Chris Benoit and his family. WWE extends its sincerest thoughts and prayers to the Benoit family’s relatives and loved ones in this time of tragedy.
WWE canceled the scheduled three hour long live RAW show on June 25, and replaced the broadcast version with a tribute to his life and career, featuring his past matches, segments from the Hard Knocks DVD and comments from wrestlers and announcers.
Fayette County, Georgia police are investigating Benoit's house following the discovery of the bodies. Lieutenant Tommy Pope of the Fayette County Sheriff's Department reported to ABC News that sheriffs entered his home on a "welfare check" after missing several appointments, leading to concerns. Pope also stated the police are not searching for any suspects outside of the house, as the instruments of death were located at scene of the crime.[86]
The same day Detective Bo Turner of the Fayette County Sheriff's Department told television station WAGA-TV that the case was being treated as a murder-suicide, and the station reported that investigators believe that Benoit murdered his wife and son over the weekend and commited suicide sometime on Monday.

He didnt show up at vengeance after texting the wwe saying he had family problems. On Monday June 25th he was found dead along with his wife nancy and son daniel in his house. I also read it was a murder-suicide, he killed his son by suffocating him in his bed, i dont no how he killed his wife and i also heard he killed himself by hanging himself.
I am very sad to here about this because i really likes him as a wrestler.

Yes it was family Emergency and he did do the right thing because he knows WWE will respect it and give him a title shot and the title when he is ready to come back.
