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.

I don't care what anyone says, the guy deserves to burn in hell... I heard today that he was "murdered" then I started reading about it and found out he killed his family then himself. This guy is nothing but a piece of shit on the sole of my shoe in my eyes, wrestling or no wrestling...

You know its not so much that he killed his wife that angers me, its that he killed his 7 yr old son! I don't think WWE will be doing anymore tributes to him, it will be to controversial..(protest about supporting a "child killer")

Denial can be a strong emotion. Being that I'm not a wrestling fan at all, I'm detached from the contributions Chris made to the wrestling entertainment world.With that said, it's time to face the facts that have been released thus far. No outside suspects, "Tools of death" were found inside the house. Chris was the last to die, up to a full 2 days latter.Sorry folks, this is a classic example of "walks like a duck, quacks like a duck" acts like a duck....must be a duck".Like I said, I'm detached, to me, Chris is just another news story. Not a hero, or even an athelete, until about 4 hours ago when I first heard.It looks very much like your hero killed his family. I'll never understand how parents kill their children. Being that his son, Daniel, was only 7, I can only hope that it was done as quickly and as painlessly as possible. The amount of confusion, hurt, and betrayal felt by his son, in his final moments of life, taken by his own father, can NEVER be outwieghed by a performance in the ring.
