Chris Benoit Dead

[Spider-Fan]

Regardless of what comes out, I will still be sad about this.

 

[Crimson Warrior]

RIP Chris ...you'll never be forgotten..

 

[Warhammer]

First Mr. McMahon and now the Benoit's.

RIP

Mr. McMahon's was fake.
He even started the show saying how it was fake, and that tonight should be devoted solely to Chris Benoit, not his storyline "death."

 

[BRUTAL]

First Mr. McMahon and now the Benoit's.

RIP

Um...

RIP

Mr. mcMahon is alive.

 

[The Dark Defender]

McMahon's "death" was just a storyline.

Vince announced the deaths tonight to start RAW.

I would hate and be sad to find out it was a murder-suicide. Benoit was a great wrester and one of my favorites. Even cried when..when I found out the news.

Damn, that's so sad.......R.I.P. Benoit Family

 

[Colossal Spoons]

I'm pretty sure if it was a homicide, the remaining family can't do anything for that information to be withheld.

As far as minute details and what not, heck yes they can.

No gunshot or stab wounds. My only wonder is whether they were bound and gagged when it happened. If so, then it was definitely a homicide poisoning by a third party. If not, either he or his wife poisoned all of them.

I have a feeling that if it was a third party, it may be due to a gambling or loan debt and he got a call that his family was being held and he needed to return there without informing anyone or else risk them being murdered. He most likely would have arrived to multiple people waiting to poison him along with his wife and son.

If it was murder-suicide, my guess is it would have had to stem from adultery. Not sure who the culprit was (he or his wife) but someone was put-off enough to end it for all of them.

I used to be a big time wrestling fan and drugs were never Benoit's thing, so I don't think it had anything to do with that.

Either way, he was one of the greatest underrated performers of all time and will be sorely missed.

My jaw hit the floor when i came home to read this.
It's weird how someone that you've never even met, can become close to you just by entertaining you.
Chris Benoit was one of these people who could do this, and will be truly missed.
I'd be lying if I said i didn't shed a few tears.

 

[Johnichi Chiba]

I don't give a **** about wrestling anymore, but back when I used to, Benoit was always a favorite of mine. Such a terrible terrible thing to happen to such a cool guy and his family. He's undoubtedly going to be missed.

Even I smiled and choked a bit seeing the rerun of the Wrestlemania XX footage.

This is a sad scene for me now. Man, time can make one of the most touching and uplifting moments into one of the most depressing.

I can some possibility of a third party involvement, but why poison if thats what killed them. If it was a murder-suicide then I think Benoit contacting and canceling his match due to family illness or whatever kind of leaves him as the primary suspect in that.

I got choked up too...

 

[BlackLantern]

maybe someone should find out where Kevin Sullivan is. Its public knowledge he never forgave either nancy for leaving him or chris benoit for marrying her.

The article mentions this...

Lt. Tommy Pope of the Fayette County Sheriff's Department told ABC News that Benoit had missed several appointments over the weekend, leading concerned parties to ask police to do a "welfare check." When sheriffs arrived at the Benoits' home, they found the wrestler, his wife, and their son dead.

What is a welfare check?

Man, the end of Wrestlemania XX went from an amazing, beautiful moment between two best friends to such a bittersweet ending for two great champions.

My heart aches for Dean Malenko, losing two friends.

Checking on the welfare of the family. Basically seeing if they are ok.

I can some possibility of a third party involvement, but why poison if thats what killed them. If it was a murder-suicide then I think Benoit contacting and canceling his match due to family illness or whatever kind of leaves him as the primary suspect in that.

Why poison? To make it look like a murder-suicide. The culprits could have contacted Benoit and said, "We have your family, if you call the cops, we'll kill them in your home at (whatever his address is) and leave. If you head here now, there is a chance we'll let them live. Tell whomever asks your son is ill and you need to go home." So Benoit rushes home, his wife and son already poisoned, and the culprits force him to drink up as well.
