Nancy Benoit speaks from the GRRRAVE. Not really, but...

His body wasn't revealed to be sans steroids. It was revealed to have synthetic testosterone, a steroid. Sorry. Not only that, but Benoit was involved in the Signature pharmacy scandal that erupted after his death, and then there was his doctor, who prescribed him large amounts of steroids.


Sorry to be the one to introduce reality into things, but....

Benoit was on steroids. He was on steroids and while his brain was determined to be be damaged, it doesn't account for the paranoia he was said to experience for a year before his death. Steroids do. Steroids don't just cause roid rage, they also cause mood swings, bouts with depression, bipolar mania, paranoia, and even borderline schizophrenic behaviour. These are things alzheimers doesn't do to you, and a brain resembling an alzheimers patient doesn't completely explain.
