May their soul rest in peace

It has been ruled that the deaths of Chris Benoit, his wife Nancy and their son Daniel earlier today were the result of a double murder-suicide from within the home. WWE.com will have more as soon as it becomes available.

It was quite shocking when I read the news on the internet. Tragedy has really been on the trail of some of these wrestlers.

Dang. What is this? Anutha tragedy.

This is all I know;

FAYETTEVILLE, Ga. - Details of the deaths of pro wrestler Chris Benoit,
his wife and their 7-year-old son may seem "a little bizarre" when released
to the public, a prosecutor said.
Authorities were investigating the deaths at a secluded Fayette County
home as a murder-suicide and were not seeking any suspects outside the home.
Fayette County District Attorney Scott Ballard told The Atlanta
Journal-Constitution, "The details, when they come out, are going to
prove a little bizarre."Those details may emerge after the completion of autopsies scheduled for
Tuesday.Investigators believe Benoit, (pronounced ben-WAH,) killed his wife and
son over the weekend and then himself sometime Monday. The bodies were found
Monday afternoon in three different rooms of the house on Green Meadow
Lane, in a subdivision off a gravel road about two miles from Whitewater
Country Club.The autopsies were scheduled to be done at the Georgia Bureau of
Investigation Crime Lab in DeKalb County.
Ballard told The Associated Press a gun was not used in any of the
deaths. But he declined to say how the three died.
"We're pretty sure we know, but we want to confirm it with the crime
lab," Ballard said early Tuesday.
Fayette County Coroner C.J. Mowell did not immediately return phone
calls. The answering service for his funeral home said he was out of town.
World Wrestling Entertainment said on its Web site that it asked
authorities
to check on Benoit and his family after being alerted by friends who
received
"several curious text messages sent by Benoit early Sunday morning."
Pope said the three were found about 2:30 p.m., but he would release no
other
details about the deaths.
Stamford, Conn.-based WWE also said on its Web site it had further
information
on the deaths of Benoit, 40; his wife, Nancy, 43; and son, Daniel, but
had
been asked by authorities not to release it.
Benoit, a native of Canada, was born in Montreal. He was a former world
heavyweight champion, Intercontinental champion and held several
tag-team
titles over his career. He was known by several names including "The
Canadian
Crippler."
"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.
They met when her then-husband drew up a script that had them involved
in a
relationship as part of an ongoing story line on World Championship
Wrestling, the newspaper said.
Benoit has two other children from a prior relationship.

Something to look at.

can't believe he killed his family, and there was no gun involved, i wonder what happened to make him do that.

that's sad. so many killings since the mid of this month. wetin dey happen?

i hope they check out the house for carbon mono.

Latet CNN news: he Hanged himself. What a sad thing to happen. Husband killing wife is getting too much o. Even naija dey the bad book too

yeah, saw it too. so sad! i never really watch wrestlin' but every other member of my family does and i hear his name. yesterday's wrestlin' was a 3-hour tribute to him. he was only 40. so sad. Thank God his whole family didn't die at least he still has other kids apart from d one who died with him and his wife. I feel sorry for them.

thats so sad. but why would he kill his wife and son?

"I used to watch him sometimes and just shake my head. I would think, 'Oh my God, what in the world is he doing? Why is he doing that?"' Laurinaitis said. "I saw quite a few guys go down that path."

Now, they're all gone.

Benoit. Guerrero. Hawk.

Martel. Bigelow. Awesome.

Not to mention Curt "Mr. Perfect" Hennig, Big Boss Man, Hercules, Crash Holly, Davey Boy Smith, Miss Elizabeth, Terry Gordy, "Gentleman" Chris Adams, Yokozuna, "Ravishing" Rick Rude, Owen Hart, Louie Spiccoli, Brian Pillman, Eddie Gilbert, Buzz Sawyer, "Quick Draw" Rick McGraw, Gino Hernandez and much of the Von Erich clan.

All dead before they were 50 -- and that's just a sampling of an ever-growing list.

It doesn't take someone who can distinguish between a full nelson and a sleeper hold to know that's far too many wrestlers dying far too young.

"It's gotten to the point that just about every show in the country is starting with a ten-bell salute," said DeGaris, the professor and wrestler, referring to the traditional farewell to a fallen competitor. "You kind of look at some of the old pictures, and you're the last man standing."
