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.
