That was just shocking for me... I haven't been watching WWE for a long time and I just heard from someone that he killed himself and his family. Not to mention all of the people who are talking about it here in yahoo answers.

During a press conference Tuesday, June 26, Fayette County District Attorney Scott Ballard confirmed that Chris Benoit had killed his wife and son. His wife was bound at the wrists and feet, while there were no signs of restraint on his son, both died of asphyxiation. It is reported that his wife died on Friday, his son died on Saturday, and Benoit killed himself later Saturday evening or early Sunday morning. Benoit's body was found dead of asphyxiation hanging by the cord of a weight machine in his basement. It was also reported that there was a Bible by both Nancy and Daniel's bodies. [12]

The real ruling became a double homicide suicide, it does not necassarily skill that's authentic, yet various information factors to in keeping with danger it became Chris. The post-mortem checklist says that Chris Benoit had the strategies of an 80 5 3 hundred and sixty 5 days previous guy with alczheimers disease. Please excuse my spelling. Do you incredibly think of that somebody with this variety of broken strategies should not be suicidal even homicidal? yet.... right here is the information against the placement. He looked completely familiar some weeks before. hastily he calls out of the ppv he became think to accomplish in because of the fact of "own subject concerns" now what do you think of got here approximately there. Now... The Bible incident..... Benoit became a born returned Christian before he died. Dont you stumble on it suspicious that the Bible's have been next to each lifeless physique. This sounds like a properly theory out set up. Too many unanswered inquiries to get the entire tale and could proceed to be like that till extra information comes. humorous element is that i became in Georgia that comparable properly suited week and became close to the community Chris Benoit lives in. Kinda spooky yet to get returned on subject, the entire tale isn't common inspite of the text textile messages despatched to 3 individuals

He strangled his wife and suffocated his son. Then, up to an entire day later, he went downstairs to his weight room and hung himself using the pulley of a weight lifting machine. Investigators are saying steroids may have had a role in causing him to "snap."
