Chris Benoit dead

[Scarface]

I don't watch Wrestling anymore, but my addicted cousin called me up not too long ago and told me that Chris Benoit, has been found dead in their Atlanta home along with his son Daniel, and his wife Nancy.

So even though I don't remember him that well, this is a tragedy, and it was terrible that this had to happen.

Were they murdered?

I was wondering what was up with that as I kept on seeing things about it on TV.

How'd he die though?

 

[Scurge]

I just read that Benoit called in sick on sunday and said his family was spitting up blood.

 

[Dexington]

Holy christ...

 

[Kit]

That sucks...

Spitting up blood? what disease is that? I can never remember it's name, but i could've sworn it'd been wiped out or something...

 

[Matt]

I remember watching him on tv when I was younger.

At the moment it seems to be that benoit killed his family then killed himself.

But why would you do that.

 

[Dexington]

The police are calling it a homocide.

If they were all coughing up blood, it could well be tuberculosis, considering its both very contagious, and very very deadly...

Then again, it could well be the whole murder suicide thingy, and probably is...

Poor bloke, wonder why he felt the need to do it...

 

[Brandon Rhea]

They're saying it's murder-suicide.

 

[Dexington]

They say now its a murder-suicide almost for sure.

This also screwed up the whole "Vince MacMahon is dead" plot. They had a tribute show for Benoit last night and Vince was there.

 

[Ser Gregor]

Wow, that's crazy.

And he was Canadian too, :( .

Murder-suicide, that's just weird. Loss of a great entertainer.

 

[Scarface]

I hope it isn't a murder-suicide. That makes it all the more horrible.

He never seemed depressed or anything when I saw him. But that was close to a year ago, things can change dramatically I guess.

 

[Dexington]

I saw him last week (or 2 weeks ago, don't remember) on Raw, he fought Lashley and it seemed fine.

Sun update

Well it's pretty much done now, they're saying he strangled his wife and smothered his son over the weekend and hung himself on Monday. Police aren't confirming, but they aren't denying either. They also didn't say anything about drugs or steroids either.

So they'll release the cause of deaths later, maybe today or maybe tomorrow.

Goodnight Sweet Prince

I'm reading on WWE.com and there saying thats not true. About articles like that one up there. I also don't think he killed them and then killed himself.

 

[kacey]

either way, that's a terrible way to go. :(

by the way, if anybody would like to start an RPing with me, please pm me so we can get started. :D

Yes, because WWE.Com is so much more reliable than CNN, FOX News, BBC, Eyewitness News, NBC, CBS, MSNBC, etc.

EDIT: Okay, I just read the WWE article. Scurge, learn how to read. They flat out said it was a murder-suicide. They're simply saying that they do not believe steroids and rage had anything to do with it, as the facts and evidence point to a deliberate murder.
