Details remain very sketchy regarding the tragic news today that Chris Benoit and his family were found dead at their Atlanta area home.

Benoit had been scheduled to appear on a WWE house show on Saturday. Sources tell us Benoit called to first say he would be taking a later flight, and then to say he would not be attending the house show due to a family illness. According to one source, Benoit said both his wife and son were throwing up blood and he needed to stay to take care of them.

At last night's Vengeance pay-per-view, Benoit was replaced in his match by Johnny Nitro.

No other details are available at this time and police are on the scene at the Benoit residence investigating.

Throwing up blood - so maybe he caught whatever it was that they had - but why didn't he take them to the hospital!?!

Yeah if this were bullshit they wouldn't have thrown the wife and son in on this. I don't believe the throwing up blood story, any person would have taken their family to the hospital after that happened. RIP Benoit and family

It's a shame that a real death will be the reason the Death angle will be scrapped

As sad as it is to say, being that Benoit is from my hometown. This looks to be clearly a case of murder suicide. Perhaps an argument with his wife that resulted in him killing her and his child then himself. Tragic stuff.

No way could I see Benoit doing that....that would be even more shocking...

I can only hope his wife went nuts. Still shitty but would not cloud my image of one of (if not) the best in the last 20 years. :(

Pro wrestler Chris Benoit, his wife and 7-year-old son were found slain Monday at their Fayetteville home, authorities said.

Detective Bo Turner told television station WAGA that the case was being investigated as a murder-suicide, but said that could not be confirmed until the evidence was examined by a crime lab.

WAGA reported that investigators believe Benoit killed his wife and son over the weekend, and then himself sometime Monday.

A concerned neighbor called police. The bodies were found in three different rooms.

The lead investigator, Sheriff's Lt. Tommy Pope, told The Associated Press that the deaths were being investigated as homicide, and said the cause of death awaited autopsy results on Tuesday.

Pope said the three were found about 2:30 p.m., but he would release no other details about the deaths at the house in a subdivision near White Water Country Club.

World Wrestling Entertainment said on its Web site that Benoit, 40, his wife, Nancy, and son, who was named Daniel, were found dead, but also had no other details.

Benoit, a native of Canada, was a former world heavyweight champion, Intercontinental champion and held several tag-team titles over his career.

"WWE extends its sincerest thoughts and prayers to the Benoit family's relatives and loved ones in this time of tragedy," the federation said in a statement on its Web site.

Benoit was scheduled to perform at the "Vengeance" pay-per-view event Sunday night in Houston, but was replaced at the last minute because of what announcer Jim Ross called "personal reasons."

Benoit maintained a home in metro Atlanta from the time he wrestled for the defunct World Championship Wrestling.

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," The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported on its Web site.

They met when her then-husband drew up a script that had them involved in a relationship as part of an ongoing storyline on World Championship Wrestling, the newspaper said.

Benoit has two other children from a prior relationship.

The federal-style house is in a secluded neighborhood set back about 60 yards off a gravel road, surrounded by stacked stone wall and double-iron gate.

Monday night, the house was dark except for a few outside lights. There was a police car in front, and two uniformed officers.

Murder suicide. Who woulda thought
Maximus06
wwe.com is saying double murder/suicide

Well if that turns out to be true then fuck him.

how can you murder your own flesh and blood

WWE.COM has reported that the deaths of Chris Benoit..his wife Nancy and their son Daniel were a murder suicide..it is rumored that Benoit killed his wife and son Sunday then himself on Monday

I think they, like us, just found that out for sure tonight, as the AP stories I've read all have a late (11PM EST or after) time stamp on them. So this news was just released, ironically, just as RAW ended. Sure WWE found out a bit earlier in the night, but probably after RAW had already started.

At least that's what I'd like to think. If the higher-ups at WWE knew beforehand that he killed his family and then himself and STILL went on with a tribute show, well, shame on them.

I honestly thought this was what happened when I read earlier that he called WWE over the weekend to say he'd miss the house show, PPV, etc because of a "family emergency" and something about his wife and son both having a problem. That would fit with the reports now that he killed them over the weekend and then, finally, himself on Monday.

What caused all of this --- who the hell knows. But with 3 dead bodies, including that of a child 7 yrs. old in a house, I might have held off on a "tribute show" until all the facts came out.

If he was this sick, I don't know why he didn't do anything to the other 2 children he had..they must live with the mother

Yep. Those kids are older from a previous relationship and probably with Mom (thank God).

The 7 yr old was the child he had with his current wife I believe.

Total shock, I agree. I also always thought he was one of the good ones in the game.

But it sure looked strange (to me) seeing a 3 hour tribute when it really looked like the guy could have (and apparently did) kill his family.

Not a real good decision, esp. now, and I'm sure it'll be a story about what WWE chose to do tonight in the days to come -- which will bring more negative attention to WWe for sure.

"But it sure looked strange (to me) seeing a 3 hour tribute when it really looked like the guy could have (and apparently did) kill his family"


see here's the problem we never learned of a murder/sucide until after Raw was off the air.. if the WWE would have done anything but show a tribute show for Benoit, everyone, wrestling fan or not would have said that WWE was complete trash and they have no class.. it's a win lose, I mean how were they suposed to know he actually killed someone.. to them and everyone else he died of unknown causes, only to find out later..

Slightly different view of things than you on this one.

First, what would have been wrong to run a re-run of some past show(s) tonight and holding off on a Benoit tribute until the facts came in?

Second, if it was proven later that he was the VICTIM of a murder and they didn't do a tribute to him after finding that out, then yeah people would have said they had no class.

Finally, WWE wouldn't have looked and more "classless" than they already do if they had decided not to hold a tribute tonight and wait for the facts. They would have been guilty of one thing --- exercising good judgment for a change.

It would have been WIN-WIN had they waited. If he's a murderer then no tribute show later. If he's a victim then a tribute show for sure. WWE would have come out doing the "right thing" either way.

This was, IMO, in some way a rush judgment made by WWE to try and salvage some positive PR after the criticism of the recent Vince is Dead angle.

They thought they were doing the right thing, I'll grant them that, but in the end they screwed up yet again tonight in the end.
Turd_Cutter
With stabbing and shooting ruled out by one of the reports I read, I'm beginning to think he smothered or strangled them. Lord knows that guy would know how to choke someone out. What an awful image that is.

Recent report said the "instrument of crime" was found within the home, whatever that means.

And he did call WWE this weekend to say his wife and son were both splitting up blood -- I read that somewhere.

It's all too sickening and sure to become even more so when details emerge.

The final word for tonight... more details to come tomorrow apparently as WWE knows how they all died but was asked not to say yet.

More interesting stuff in this new article on wwe.com. Confirms Benoit was alive as late as Sunday and sent some strange texts to friends --- which made them get WWE to check on him.

IMO, if he said he did something in the texts and they did a tribute tonight, they should be ashamed.

Article is below.

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.
