Before you read any further, understand that I am NOT judging!!!! I liked him as a wrestler and yes, apparently there was something wrong mentally. I'm not judging, as it's not my place. But I can not say anyone who murders their family is a good person, mentally unstable or not. As a wrestler, he has always and will always have my respect. As a person, I'm not so sure.
Yes, he's potentially a murdering SOB, but there is no hard proof of that yet. If it turns out he did in fact murder his wife and child, as I have a sinking suspicion it will, I hope he does rot in hell as that's about what he deserves. My thoughts and prayers go out to the family of his wife and son that are left behind to deal with his mess.
This hits extra close to home for me as my best male friend growing up, his little brother and his mother were murdered two homes over from mine one night by his step father. The shots actually woke me up and it wasn't until I heard the news the next day that I knew what had happened.
So NO I don't feel for Chris Benoit, although like when Eddie Guerrero was found to have passed, the world mourned the loss of a great wrestler. That is what we need to hold on to. Undoubtedly Benoit will be remembered for being a murderous SOB but for now, let his victims RIP. Forget the bashing.
Again, I don't condone the fact that he murdered his family then took his own life, for that he deserved the wrath he will face. It is not our place to judge.
Don't like it? Delete me. No skin off my nose.
He was a great wrestler, and for that will be missed.
CHRIS BENOIT WAS MULTIPLE CHAMPIONS IN WWE WCW ECW AND NEW JAPAN WRESTLING HIS LOSS WILL BE FELT BY MILLIONS AROUND THE WORLD.
Benoit's death part of a double murder-suicide
Written: June 25, 2007
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.
