Chris Benoit, family found dead
Written: June 25, 2007STAMFORD, Conn., June 25, 2007 – World Wrestling
Entertainment was informed today by authorities in Fayette County, Ga.,
that WWE Superstar Chris Benoit, his wife, Nancy, and his son were found
dead in their home. Authorities are investigating, but no other details
are available at this time.

Instead of its announced programming for tonight on USA Network, WWE
will air a three-hour tribute to Chris Benoit.

WWE did quote, "Benoit left last night saying there was a family
emergency. He later called saying he would not be able to wrestle in the
PPV has scheduled because his family was ill and spitting up blood. When
no one heard from him again, they went in search for him and thats when
he, his wife nancy, and seven year old son Daniel were found dead in
there home."

The authorities did say that the family was not shot, but when asked if
stabbed they said "no Comment." Reporters thinking it was a hoax went to
the house were quthorities were quoted as saying, "This is no prank, the
Benoit family is really dead."

Beniots two other children from a previous marriage and live else where
were not harmed. The Family of Chris including, mother, father, and
siblings said, "The person responsible will be caught and forced to pay
dearly." But authorities have not yet confirmed that it was murder. They
are in the middle of an investigation.

RIP Chris, Nancy, and Daniel Beniot. We will miss you Rabid Wolverine.

I just heard about it tonight........A friend of mine was watching wrestling and they announced it and said they were doing a tribute to him......That was the first I heard of it......I honestly couldn't believe it......I thought maybe it was another hoax, but the guy announcing it seemed too upset........What a shocker.

The latest from WWE is that it was a double murder suicide.

I blame no one.

The world of wrestling has indeed suffered a tragic loss in the death of Chris Benoit. It appears that this was a murder/suicide and authorities only statement was that it was "bizarre". It just seems like this last couple of years has been devastating, just a year ago the sudden death of Eddie Guerrero, then less than 2 weeks ago the death of Sensational Sherri. I can't imagine what brings a person to the point of taking their own life, let alone the life of their spouse and especially their child. Chris was loved and widely respected and had contributed to the world of wrestling for 22 years. What a sad ending to a brilliant life.......
My condolences to the Benoit family and I am certain I am among thousands of fans who will miss Chris.
