Could someone please tell me what happened to Chris Benoit and his family?

Question

I haven't been paying particular attention to questions regarding him; I just assumed he had won an important match in WWE. Oh my God... What was the mechanism of injury to cause his and his family's tragic death?

Answer 1

Most news accounts are saying Benoit and family were killed--indicating they were murdered....either by a criminal(s) or this was a tragic suicide. Tragic as this is....we'll have to stay tuned to learn more.

Murder-suicide....or made to LOOK that way???? You tell me.

It's noted he last minute cancelled a match slated for last night....due to "personal reasons". My guess: find his reason, you find Benoit's killer(s).

This and Vince's phony faked death stunt don't help ECW very much. My 10 year old is distrubed by all this crazy business.....I think McMahon, ECW and Sci-Fi network all should be sued class action style for the harm they've done w/ their out of control craziness to our children--the bulk of their fans.

Answer 2

The official ruling was a double murder suicide, it does not necassarily means it is true, but a lot of evidence points to maybe it was Chris. The autopsy report says that Chris Benoit had the brain of an 85 year old man with alczheimers disease. Please excuse my spelling. Do you really think that someone with such a damaged brain will not be suicidal even homicidal? But.... Here is the evidence against the situation. He seemed perfectly normal a few weeks before. All of a sudden he calls out of the ppv he was suppose to perform in because of "personal issues" now what do you think happened there. Now... The Bible incident..... Benoit was a born again Christian before he died. Dont you find it suspicious that the Bible's were next to every dead body. This seems like a well thought out set up. Too many unanswered questions to get the full story and will remain like that until more evidence comes. Funny thing is that I was in Georgia that same exact week and was near the neighborhood Chris Benoit lives in. Kinda spooky but to get back on subject, the full story will never be known even with the text messages sent to 3 other people

Answer 3

Benoit was found dead in his home in Atlanta, Georgia, along with his wife, Nancy Daus, and his 7-year old son, Daniel at around 2:30 PM EDT. Exact details are not yet known, and an investigation is ongoing. according to Detective Bo Turner of the Fayette County Sheriff's Department , 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. i guess nothing can be really known until they do autopsy reports on them

Answer 4

They're still awaiting autopsy results. The police are treating the case as a homicide. Most likely by poisoning.

Answer 5

They were all found dead...I've now seen headlines on news websites saying it may now be a murder/suicide scenario. I don't think they know for sure, though.

Answer 6

Well based on my past experience, I would say probably a murder suicide.. He was a very physically capable guy so it was I would guess that, or an armed intruder.
