We're forgetting the most important part of this story, His other Children and other family members who have been affected by this matter. Instead of beating the horse asking why, we should be offering our condolences to the family and friends most affected by this, and we should just give thanks that Benoit was placed here on this Earth to provide us with quality entertainment which he loved to do everyweek.

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

My theory is that they all consumed something at the home that was poisoned. Now if it was intentionally poisoned is neither here nor there but I figger they all consumed it maybe Saturday or Sunday morning. Maybe he called in to work because he and his family were feeling sick. Now, I'm not sure of how they figger out what time they might have died but I think they may have all passed out and died at different times. But you have to consider the fact that they had the 'instruments of death' present at the scene and the fact that they are not looking for other suspects. Now investigators have three bodies and no idea how they dies so they MUST investigate it as a murder-suicide if only to rule it out.

We'll know more tomorrow. New information continues to come into light as the investigators get down to it.
RIP Benoit Family

I dont honestly know. His wife and his child were his life..I dont honestly think he would murder them intentionally out of brutality. If I am not mistaken, his wife and son were very ill for a long time. I believe they were diagnosed with a terminal form of cancer that was heriditary... Maybe he found them, his wife murdered her child and herself.. When he found it, he killed himself.. I just find it weird that there was no stab or gunshot wounds..

Dear god, I hope that's what happened and nothing worse. Benoit is my hero and I just can't deal with the thought of him being a murderer.

No one knows what really happened. And I would ask that no one jump to conclusions or pass judgment until you have walked a mile in their shoes.

Iam just in shock over this. I can not belive that he would kill his family. I just don't know what to think right now. I seriously hope that they find out what happened.

The idea that it is a murder suicide kid of finishes your theory, but it is still just sad.
