This is just ******* ridiculous, RIP Chris, this is honestly such terrible news, I am in such shock right now.
WWE were ******* idiots to do that stupid death angle, and now this happens.
RIP.
****,Benoit was one of the best wrestlers ever. ******* terrible he died at such a young age. R.I.P
Edit - I thought the death angle was interesting, until it took up too much time and they overplayed the explosion. BUt it HAS to stop now.. Once again R.I.P :(
I wonder what happened...
According to reports his wife and kid were coughing up blood which could be a carbon monoxide leak. He rushed back to his home in atlanta and then no one knows.
How sad, that a day after Eddie died he was supposed to beat Batista for the World Heavyweight Title, and now the day before Benoit dies he was supposed to beat CM Punk for the ECW Title.
RIP Benoit.
So apperently it turns out that this might be a double murder - suicide case.
I really hope Chris didn't murder his wife and kids, that would be just crazy.
I'm really in shock right now...
he did kill them all
he is a killer and a nutcase
Im in a state of shock and I'm shaking ad im typing this, Benoit has been one of my favourite wrestlers, and is a realy hsmae to see him pass. He was a great competertor athlete performer and a man.
rip Chris :'(
if this turned out to be fake WWE would be in so much ****
i still dont know why it wasnt on news all over the world..
It was on BBC and Sky Sports, not the whole workld like wrestling. Maybe the whole world doesnt wanna know, they will soon find out and you will hear something on TV soon. It's on MSN news and most sport channels.
Benoit's death part of a double murder-suicide
Written: June 25, 2007
From: WWE Site
According 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.
ps. this las sentence im hearin a radio show n they sayin benoit used steroids dunno if im wrong ya can correct me
Yeah, I never thought of that. That's quite scary tbh.
If you don't have anything nice to say, then get out the damn thread and off the forum.
Anyway, R.I.P. It was so unexpected and I highly doubt that Chris would kill his family as I've seen images of him with his wife and kids and they looked like a great family. It's a sad time for wrestling fans.
Wwe reports show that it maybe a double murder
Chris woulnt do that tho but still people change
Rip Chris
According To Someone On Caws.ws Mr.McMahon Came Out On Raw Said His Storyline Was Fake But This Was 100% Real
R.I.P Chris
yeh i watched raw no matchs no audience just highlights of chris benoits career and wwe wrestlers saying what they thought of him
mr mcmahon came out at the begining of show saying his story line was fake and annoucing chris benit and his family had passed awa
rip:(
Never the biggest fan of him but still , he was a truly great athlete and will be soarly missed.
RIP , Also is it true Vince dropped that crap?
yes.

Rest In Peace, one of the greatest to ever grace a wrestling ring.
It's looking as if Benoit actually did kill his family, according to one report, Benoit accidentally killed his wife in an argument, then out of panic killed his son, and then hung himself.
It's so hard to imagine Benoit would do such a thing..
I hope to god he didn't do it. I mean he seemed rather nice but to kill a child? IMO Thats in excuseable
"Double murder - suicide"
That says it all :l, also, when you hear that Benoit was the last alive, put 2 & 2 together mate, doesn't take a genius to figure it all out.

I'm shocked, and disgusted.
Why would he do such a thing?
I met him once while they were on tour in England, and he was really kind.
Something must of motivated him to do this.
What though?
I really think its down to some mental issue, the stress of wrestling, which consists of countinuous work outs, and traveling the world.
Imo, I feel he killed them and himself so they can be all be together in heaven, or something like that. On another note, quite creepy how The Radicalz are slowly being broken down, only Perry Saturn and Dean Malenko left...
sorry, double post.
Think about it ay.. if he killed them off on saturday & sunday then himself on monday.. Dude was just chilled in his crib with 2 of his dead family members, lol @ fixing himself a sandwich and watching tv in the living room.. but
think about how disturbing, that sh*t sounds, to be staying home all day with your dead family members you killed and then decide to off yourself the next day
These are the reports about benoit that're coming through..
The apparent autopsy is out..

dayum..
But.. another apparent story..
source; PWTorch.com
We have learned that one major media entity has received an email purporting to be from a friend of the Chris Benoit extended family saying that Benoit accidentally killed his wife in a domestic argument, then panicked and killed his son later so his son could be with his mother rather than grow up without a mom and knowing his father as a murderer.
Also..
Before her grisly death, Chris Benoit's wife once told a judge that she was, "intimidated by threats of violence" from her 220 lb. husband.
In divorce papers filed in 2003, Nancy Benoit included a petition for protection from domestic abuse against Chris. In the papers, Nancy claimed that Benoit, "lost his temper and threatened to strike the petitioner and cause extensive damage to the home and personal belongings of the parties, including furniture." Nancy added that she was, "in reasonable fear for petitioner's own safety and that of the minor child."
Three months later, Nancy filed to have the divorce papers and the restraining order dismissed. A short time later, a judge granted her wish.
As TMZ first reported, law enforcement sources tell TMZ they believe Benoit strangled his wife on Saturday, smothered his son on Sunday and then hanged himself on Monday.

Pro wrestler Chris Benoit strangled his wife and smothered his son before hanging himself in his weight room, a law enforcement official close to the investigation told The Associated Press on Tuesday.
Authorities also said they are investigating whether steroids may have been a factor in the deaths of Benoit, his wife and their 7-year-old son. Steroid abuse has been linked to depression, paranoia, and aggressive behavior or angry outbursts known as "roid rage."
"We don't know yet. That's one of the things we'll be looking at," said Fayette County District Attorney Scott Ballard. He said test results may not be back for weeks.
Autopsies were scheduled Tuesday by the Georgia Bureau of Investigation.
Authorities were investigating the deaths at a secluded Fayette County home as a murder-suicide and were not seeking any suspects. The official who described the manner of death spoke on the condition of anonymity because the information was to be released at a news conference later Tuesday.
Investigators believe Benoit (pronounced ben-WAH) killed his wife, 43-year-old Nancy, and son Daniel during the weekend and then himself Monday. The bodies were found Monday afternoon in three separate rooms of the house, off a gravel road about two miles from the

Whitewater Country Club.
Fayette County Coroner C.J. Mowell did not return calls seeking comment. The answering service for his funeral home said he was out of town.
Asked about the condition of the interior of the house, sheriff's Sgt. Keith Whiteside said investigators found "nothing really out of the ordinary." He said Benoit was found in the home's weight room, his wife in an office and the son in an upstairs bedroom.
Neighbors said the Benoits led a low-key lifestyle.
"We would see Chris walking in his yard from time to time. He wasn't rude, but he wasn't really outwardly warm," said Alaina Jones, who lives across the street.
Jimmy Baswell, who was Benoit's driver for more than five years, placed a white wreath at the Benoits' gate. "They always seemed like they were the happiest people," he said.
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."
The WWE, based in Stamford, Conn., said authorities asked that it not release further information on the deaths.
Benoit, born in Montreal, was a former world heavyweight champion, Intercontinental champion and held several tag-team titles. His names in the ring included "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.
"He was like a family member to me, and everyone in my family is taking it real hard," said fellow Canadian Bret Hart, a five-time champion with the World Wrestling Federation. The federation has since changed its name to World Wrestling Entertainment.
Benoit had maintained a home in metro Atlanta from the time he wrestled for the defunct World Championship Wrestling. The Fayette County Tax Assessors Office lists the value of the house, situated on more than 8.5 acres, at nearly $900,000.
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." They met when her then-husband drew up a script that had them involved in a relationship as part of a story line on World Championship Wrestling, The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported.
Benoit has two other children from a prior relationship.
They are idiots because for example: they did the bell salute where all the wrestlers come out on stage. Only wrestlers who passed away get this, like Eddie and Owen, and even the 9/11 victims got it. But now it's lost all meaning when WWE does it for their own profit. And now Benoit dies, and if they do that just 2 weeks later, it's pointless and disrespectful.
Yes it has.
I still have my respect for Benoit as a wrestler, cause he was no doubt one of the best, but all my respect for him as a human being is all lost. Apperently he was on Roids when he killed them and had roid rage, but still, many people have roid rage and don't kill people.
