Chris Benoit found dead
 

According to wwe.com, Chris Benoit and his family were found dead today at their home.

I'm really sitting here in complete shock.

WHAT THE ****!?! What the hell is going on!? Are there any details at all!?

UNFREAKINGBELIEVABLE...

i tried to find some info but only found a very short blurb on site saying that he and his family were all found dead today...terrible, terrible news....

Jesus Christ. What the hell is happening lately?

Ah, someone beat me to making this topic. But seriously, it's horrible. I still can't believe this.

This is why Vince's angle was such a horrible idea. I guess this is learning their lesson the hard way, at least maybe they learned something from these horrible circumstances.

I can't believe this. I dont know what to say.

Yea... it's all over the news now. Rumour has it it was a gas leak. Damn....his son was only 7! :( No more rabid Wolverine. Benoit was one of my faves too! :cry:

I heard they made Raw a tribute to Chris Benoit (it was originally gonna be a Vince tribute) and Vince even appeared. It's not on for a couple hours here yet.

His wife was a WCW/ECW wrestler.

gas leak?! Man, how freak accident is that...

At least, it doesnt seem to be another crazy murder/suicide situation...

She was a manager by the name of Woman. She managed Sandman, And Kevin Sullivan. She was actually married to Kevin Sullivan, untill a story was started where he stole Sullivan's wife. They ended up getting married.

Me and my older Brother are two of the largest Chris Benoit fans you'll ever meet. We've been following him since ECW.

I honestly don't know what to say. This is just horrible news.

What a tragedy :cry:

May he and his family rest in peace

Here's a little more information on the situation.

Strangely, this site uses different words like "homocide" and "slain" and also states that they were found at 2:30pm as opposed to 4pm.

In any event, my sincerest condolences to his two surviving children. :(

*shakes head*

Life is so random. you really never know what the day will bring you.

Aw man...guess I may have spoke too soon then..

My brother is right with ya. RP'ed as him for years, too. Sadly, they were finally coming to our part of the country for the first time ever; bro had tickets to see him. It's in a week or something.

Very, very sad. What a shame. Though I'll be honest; as soon as my brother told me and I asked if it was violent and he said no?

First reaction: Carbon monoxide. Second reaction, some other gas leak. Shame, as that kinda could have been avoided.

But really, really sad. I liked him. My prayers and condolences to his family, friends and fans. It's a damn shame.

Im hoping that he wasn't slain cuz that would be too much...especially with a little boy involved.

However I was told this. "ALL deaths are initially treated as a homicide until cause of death is found, once they rule it as accidental or by natural causes, its done."

Yeah, I got to see him live on my birthday a few years ago. He teamed with Chris Jericho. It was a double geekgasm for me.

I've been lucky enough to see Benoit on a couple occasions. Including at WCW Mayhem 99, where I got to witness him in not one, but two matches, including the classic against Bret Hart for the WCW Title in the main event. He was walking around the ring before the show started, so the few of us in the sky boxes were screaming out to him, he ended up coming up and signing a bunch of stuff for everyone.

Man...this really f*cking sucks...

Yes, that's true. I was going to say that police deem it as such initially before investigating further, but you beat me to the punch. ;)

This is terrible, I just dont know what to say. :cry:

My prays go out to there family, I hope there doing alright.

This was shocking, I can't beleive he is gone.:cry:
This is just awful. He was a great wrestler one of my favorites.
What's happening lately ? :-?

God dammit.

Really Really sad, I've lost both of my favorite wrestlers in a matter of 2 years.

Just read that autopsy results on the causes of death for Chris, Nancy, and Daniel will be announced tomarrow (Tuesday). But ATM even the wwe site is saying murder-suicide. :ohwell:

Yep. Double-murder suicide. Holy f*ck. WWE.com has it on there, straight up.

Check out this report from yahoo, which was just posted:

FAYETTEVILLE, Ga. - WWE wrestler Chris Benoit, his wife, and son were found dead Monday and police said they were investigating the deaths as a murder-suicide.
ADVERTISEMENT

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

The station said that investigators believe the 40-year-old Benoit killed his wife, Nancy, and 7-year-old son, Daniel, over the weekend, then himself on Monday. A neighbor called police, and the bodies were found in three rooms.

But holy frak. How could a man just simply kill his 7 year old son?! That's just insane! Im just glad his 2 other kids weren't there! :o

I stopped watching when WWE split into Raw and Smackdown, but I remember Chris Benoit fondly. I liked him along with X-Pac the most.....

This seems like something straight outta movie. I guess the man wasn't as mentally strong as he was physically.......:cry:

I hope that isnt the cause either, but still its a tragic story nonetheless.

We will probably know more tomorrow after the autopsy results.

I really hope this isn't true either.:(

I can't think of Benoit as a killer this is just so hard to swallow.:( I hope this clears out.

I can't wait to read the news about them tomorrow.

I hope that it's not true as well man. Chris Benoit is not the type that kills. He's respected by alot of people very much and he loved his family very much as well. He was also one of my favorite wrestlers and one of the greatest as well to step into the WWE ring. We'll see what info occurs next about this case on the news.

How do you know what type of person he is if you know him from his act?

Isn't that like saying Steve Martin would never kill somebody because in Cheaper by the Dozen he was super cool to the kids and seemed really nice?

Oh my goodness. That is horrible. This man was one of my idols growing up.

One of the great moments in wrestling:
