Chris Benoit found dead (From WWE.com) - Page 22

**Theo Dious** · 06-26-2007, 02:14 PM

Why do I see all this turning into a Law and Order plotline?

**Azriel** · 06-26-2007, 02:14 PM

Blitz, I'm sure it's going to be on CNN and MSNBC, etc.

**Kane Knight** · 06-26-2007, 02:15 PM

ATLANTA (AP) -- 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 Tuesday.

Fuck wikipedia.

**Theo Dious** · 06-26-2007, 02:16 PM

Well this is the only place that matters!

**Mercury Bullet** · 06-26-2007, 02:18 PM

Anyway, I really wish they'd hurry with the investigation ASAP.

My final speculation is that for whatever reason the wife was premeditated. He killed her Saturday and stashed her upstairs waiting to dump the body. Acted calm and normal around his son and everybody else. Sunday, panic set in, didn't know what to do, maybe the son discovered the mothers body? I dont think so but by Sunday evening Chris knew he couldn't get away with it and rather than going to jail he took his own life, and the life of his son so that his son wouldn't wake up to his parent's corpses.

Maybe roid rage, maybe she wanted another divorce, maybe both... but whatever the reason he flipped out.

But did he take the son's life so that the son wouldn't have to live without parents, or did he take the son's life so that the son could not turn him into the police?

I'm just so disgusted. Anything with Chris Benoit that I had is sitting in my trash can right now. I wish I could delete his matches and likeness from my dvds....

I don't think I'm being rash either...

Throwing people under the bus: the new American pasttime.

Can we PLEASE wait for some actual confirmation instead of just stupid media leaks?!

You know, I'll wait and hold off my anger til it's announced in the next hour or so. But stop convincing yourself that this all isn't happen. Reality should set in at some point. It has for me.

In another hour we'll have official statements from police on what happened, how, and maybe why. It seems to me that we're missing a vital piece here to understand what happened, no matter which way it turns out. I'm not saying he didn't do it, I'm just saying I want to know more than this before I fling anything I have with Benoit on it out the window.

I still love Benoit.

Benoit the wrestler is an amazing man. Beniot the human... well, I don't respect those who die of suicide, especially alleged murderers of women and children.

Fuck that shit. Killing women and children is nothing compared to killing your wife and your child.

**KingofOldSchool** · 06-26-2007, 02:25 PM

Chris Benoit's here and he's really mad.
Chris Benoit's here and he's really aaannngrrryy.
Here's his song, the Chris Benoit song.
Is there anyone who can prove him wrrrooonng?

Ah, a mate of mine rang me up earlier and started saying that

Odd, because earlier I was thinking of exactly the same thing

**Marc the Smark** · 06-26-2007, 02:32 PM

Do we know for sure that the murder of Nancy Benoit and her son was pre-meditated? Do we know what Benoit, who always gave 110 percent to entertain us and feed his family, was thinking when he committed the murders? I agree that his actions were despicable, but obviously a guy who would kill his own flesh and blood is also a sick, sick man. I just don't think it's black and white, like most of you seem to think, and I don't think hating what he did should mean that we have to hate Chris Benoit the person.

Yeah, what the guy in the skirt said.

Wait, thats Scott, not Scot...?

**KingofOldSchool** · 06-26-2007, 02:29 PM

Okay seriously, the sheriff said the investigators found "nothing out of the ordinary."

Sooo wouldn't that rule out Benoit hanging himself?

I mean surely you walk into a weight room and see a guy hanging from a rope lifeless, you immediately think "oh nothing major here, just a dead guy hanging from a rope."

Totally oridnary.

**Jeritron** · 06-26-2007, 02:35 PM

Look, I hope this isn't true as much as the next guy. But at some point you gotta stop deluding ourselves. Chris Benoit had 5 star matches, Chris Benoit was a hero to all of us, Chris Benoit killed his family over a 3 day period of madness. Chris Benoit sucks.

If you can get past that because you don't want to part with the image of your idol, or you don't want the matches you watch all the time ruined, then lie to yourselves or rationalize. Thats your own decisions. But at some point reality steps in. It's absolutely dispicable. Chris Benoit still a legend? Tell that to his 7 year old son who will never experience life, and to everyone who thought they knew and loved him

I want to be pinched and wake up, but some nightmares are real and this is one of them

So if it turns out he was suffering from some form of mental illness that completely impaired his sense of reality, you still will pronounce the man and his life and doings completely worthless?

He wasn't my hero. How many times do I have to say that. Don't speak for everyone is you are not everyone.

CNN is taking the conference live when it happens for those still wondering.

**Cactus Sid** · 06-26-2007, 02:41 PM

Just read this, don't know if this was posted previously, if it is I apologise, it is a statement from district attorney's office.

Quote:

Yesterday afternoon at 2:30 pm, the Fayette County Sheriff’s Office received a call from someone affiliated with the wrestling community concerned with Chris Benoit and the fact that he had not appeared for a scheduled event. In response to that call the Fayette County Deputies went to the residence located at 130 Green Meadow Lane in Fayette County and discovered three deceased bodies, Chris Benoit, Nancy Benoit and their 7 year old son.

All preliminary indications suggest that it was a murder/suicide. Out of an abundance of caution every possible scenario is under investigation.

Details concerning the manner of death and times and other details will require confirmation of the lab results and the completion of the autopsies. Our hope is that the autopsy reports will be complete today. The GBI Crime Lab is working diligently on this case but do have many other cases as well.

At this time a press conference has been scheduled for this afternoon at 3:00 pm eastern time in front of the Benoit home.

I don't know what information has officially been released since this, obviously the indications are still very much that of a murder-suicide, but until this is confirmed by the investigative bodies, its not an open and shut case.

**The Ravishing One** · 06-26-2007, 02:41 PM

Sky Sports News is broadcasting the press conference for anybody in the UK @ 8pm.

Because, contrary to what all of you think, nothing if anything in life is black and white.

Because they were still coming to grips with what just happened. And it is hard to throw away a 20+ year relationship away in just a day.

Either A) They didn't know, or B) They're human, and he was a friend?

**Marc the Smark** · 06-26-2007, 03:00 PM

OK, I can see that the murder of Nancy Benoit was pre-meditated, but maybe the murder of their little boy wasn't. Maybe in Benoit's mind, the boy was better off in heaven with him than left behind with no parents. Maybe Benoit really thought, in his sick mind, that taking the boy's life was an act of mercy. Isn't it possible that Benoit believed that?? Or, do you think he killed the kid just so there wouldn't be anyone to tell police what happened? Of course that's very possible too. What are your thoughts about that?

**Blue Demon** · 06-26-2007, 02:48 PM

**SammyG** · 06-26-2007, 02:48 PM

On the front page of msn, it's reported that the official ruling has been that he strangled his wife, smothered his kid a day later, then hung himself in his weight room.

**Marc the Smark** · 06-26-2007, 02:51 PM

Nobody's answered me... I wonder if the murders and suicide were pre-meditated or not. I wonder if Benoit had planned to kill his wife and son, or if he just "snapped." I wonder what Benoit was thinking when he killed his son. I wonder if he was afraid that the son would turn him in, or if he didn't want the son to grow up without a mother and father.
