Wrestler Benoit, wife and son found dead

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.

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.

Lead investigator Lt. Tommy Pope, of the Fayette County Sheriff's Department, told The Associated Press the deaths were being investigated as homicide, and that the causes of death awaited autopsy results on Tuesday. Pope said the bodies were discovered about 2:30 p.m., but refused to release details.

The house is in a secluded neighborhood set back about 60 yards off a gravel road, surrounded by stacked stone wall and a double-iron gate. On Monday night, the house was dark except for a few outside lights. There was a police car in front, along with two uniformed officers.

Benoit was a former world heavyweight and Intercontinental champion. He also held several tag-team titles during his career.

"WWE extends its sincerest thoughts and prayers to the Benoit family's relatives and loved ones in this time of tragedy," the federation said in a statement on its Web site.

Benoit was scheduled to perform at the "Vengeance" pay-per-view event Sunday night in Houston, but was replaced at the last minute because of what announcer Jim Ross called "personal reasons."

The native of Canada maintained a home in metro Atlanta from the time he wrestled for the defunct World Championship Wrestling.

The WWE canceled its live "Monday Night RAW" card in Corpus Christi, Texas, and USA Network aired a three-hour tribute to Benoit in place of the scheduled wrestling telecast.

"My relationship with Chris has extended many years and I consider him a great friend," Carl DeMarco, the president of WWE Canada, said in a statement. "Chris was always first-class — warm, friendly, caring and professional one of the best in our business."

This is tragic. I'm a big fan of Benoit. (or at least I was a few years ago when I was really into Monday Night Raw)

I think it's interesting that all three bodies were found in different rooms. Benoit was found in his weight room.

I just posted this on another board in response to someone hoping that his son didn't suffer...but they accused me of being "tactless" :shrug:

But I don't think any of them really suffered, per say. With no physical marks that were immediately noticable, I'd say that these murders were committed by someone concerned with the fact that they wouldn't suffer. With the info we have now, I think that not suffering was probably the motive for all of it. You see that a lot when someone kills their family and then themselves, it's usually their way of "protecting" the family from pain and suffering. I'd say they were poisoned and went peacefully. There's even a chance they went in the middle of the night and IF Chris was the cause of this...he took himself in his own room of the house. Maybe out of guilt, not wanting to be with the family, or maybe shame or maybe he just wanted to go where he was happy. Granted, this is all my own speculation. A lot could change when we find out the time frame for all of this and what, if anything, Chris did between the time the others died and when he took his own life. Again...that's IF he did it. But if they've already begun to suspect him, there was probably some evidence that said he died last. Probably body temp and rigor really. But then again, I could imagine that in the summer the AC in the weight room was probably way high and affected body temp.

So yeah...I don't think the baby suffered.


I think that pretty much sums up what I've been able to gather on the case thus far. How bout you guys?

[samanthajane13]

I posted this earlier on the Regional News thread...I pray to God that they find he didn't kill them and himself-he left two other children from a previous relationship, and it would be horrible for them to have to deal with that. It would also be sooo totally out of character for the Chris the fans all knew and love. My heart is broken again...I was a HUGE fan...we saw him wrestle last year here in Buffalo. He was so GREAT!!! He will be missed, and WWE will never be the same...

It seems like just yesterday we lost Eddie & my heart was broken.

Chris is tagging with Eddie Guerrero again tonight...in the Big Ring in Heaven.

:rose: RIP Chris, Nancy, and Daniel. :rose:

RIP Eddie, we miss you, too...

TMZ is reporting that the wife was strangled in her bed, the 7 year old boy was smothered in his bedroom, and that Benoit hung himself in the weight room of the house. I don't know if the above info is true but, if it is, it's very sad.

I've seen that reported in the news and in several other news articles.
This is very sad. :rose:

[concernedperson]

Developing story from CNN. It seems tmz's info was correct and LE has found anabolic steroids in the home.

http://www.cnn.com/

[Spencer33]

Right. But now WWE is issuing a statement claiming that because Bibles were found next to each body, that shows that "roid rage" wasn't involved! Go figure.

[flutterby]

I still can't believe this one. Why would Benoit do this? It's just incomprehendable. Some of the facts that have been coming out about him since this happened have been head scratching to say the least.

There have been some reports that he had become paranoid and was thinking that someone was following him. As well as not letting his wife leave their house. I don't know if that is correct but there might be some reasoning in that.

Also the bibles placed near the bodies? What is that about?

And then there's the way that the WWE is distancing themselves from Benoit now that these facts have been emerging. I knew that they would do that but from their statement being all about steroids and "Roid Rage" looks as though they are trying to make it look like steroids aren't as rampant as we all think in the WWE. Yeah right !

[Spencer33]

New details are coming out.

Big Benoit Update: What The Text Messages Said, More

There were apparently some warning signs that something was wrong with Benoit.
Sources close to Nancy are reporting that she had a safety deposit box with evidence of past rages and that authorities should check the box if anything ever happened to her.

One of the text messages sent by Chris Benoit early Sunday morning said "back door open, dogs have been fed", referring to the sliding glass doors in the back of his home. No one was quite sure what to make of it, but he wasn't reachable afterward for clarification.

ABCNews.com's headline story has been updated with the following: "Her hands were bound together, her feet were bound together, and there was a little blood over her face," District Attorney Scott Ballard told ABC News in an interview after the press conference. "The medical examiner found bruising on the small of her back and bruising on the front of her body consistent with being crushed up against the floor."

Also, there's info re the son having needle marks:

Even more shocking is that Benoit's son, Daniel, was apparently found with needle marks in his arm. According to Ballard, the boy was being given Human Growth Hormones because the family thought he was undersized.

Is that sick or what. Something was seriously wrong with him.

[Spencer33]

Here are the 5 (alleged) text messages Benoit sent in the early morning hours on Monday. I guess that's one way the police determined Benoit didn't kill himself until Monday.

Early Sunday morning, between 3:51 and 3:58 a.m., Benoit sent five text messages to co-workers:

Text Message 1 to two co-workers (sent 6/24 at 3:53am)- Chris Benoit’s cell phone “My physical address is 130 Green Meadow Lane, Fayetteville Georgia. 30215” Text Message 2 to two co-workers (sent 6/24 at 3:53am)- Chris Benoit’s cell phone “The dogs are in the enclosed pool area. Garage side door is open”

Text Message 3 to two co-workers (sent 6/24 at 3:54am)- Nancy Benoit’s cell phone “My physical address is 130 Green Meadow Lane. Fayetteville Georgia. 30215”

Text Message 4 to two co-workers (sent 6/24 at 3:55am)- Nancy Benoit’s cell phone “My physical address is 130 Green Meadow Lane. Fayetteville Georgia. 30215"

Text Message 5 to one co-worker (sent 6/24 at 3:58am)- Nancy Benoit’s cell phone “My address is 130 Green Meadow Lane. Fayetteville Georgia. 30215”

Throughout the day on Sunday, WWE made numerous attempts to contact Benoit both at home and at local hospitals in the Atlanta area. As of 11:00 p.m., WWE officials were unable to establish contact with Chris Benoit.

At 12:30 p.m. on Monday, June 25, WWE officials were notified of the text messages sent to the co-workers the previous day. By 12:45 p.m., WWE had contacted Fayetteville County Sheriff’s office requesting they check on the Benoit family.

New info re Benoit's alleged steroid use (anabolic steroid RX's were found in Benoit's house):

The Albany, New York District Attorney's Office said Tuesday that Chris Benoit was a customer of south Florida company MedXLife, which has been implicated in a probe of illegal steroid sales.
Benoit, who apparently killed his wife and son before taking his own life over the weekend, was reportedly a client of the company as recently as last year. Anabolic steroids, apparently with valid prescriptions, were discovered in the home of the deceased.

Earlier this year, two of the MedXLife co-owners admitted to assisting customers in obtaining prescription drugs without medical needs.

Right. But now WWE is issuing a statement claiming that because Bibles were found next to each body, that shows that "roid rage" wasn't involved! Go figure. That's because Vince McMahon is trying to cover his behind yet again. You can look at him, and tell that he takes steroids, as well. What that man won't do for money, faking his own death as a storyline, tells you what he's all about. The man has no morals, and he is using his own wrestlers, at any cost, for his financial gain. Not surprising then, that he's denying steroid use had anything to do with what happened. IMO :flamemad: :mad: :cuss:

[samanthajane13]

I've been a fan of professional wrestling for over 40 years-since the mid 60's...I've seen such a steady decline in the sport that it makes me almost ill. And I hurt so badly for Chris, Nancy, their son, and all their family, friends, co-workers, and fans.

WWE is nothing but a freaking soap-opera anymore.

And Vincent Kennedy McMahon Jr. is a freaking joke. He never was and never will be a quarter of the man his father was. His dad really brought pro wrestling to the main-stream. Vince thinks he's the next Donald Trump-if you cross Vince, "You're fired!" Over the years, I've seen him can referees, wrestlers and other staffers over nothing more than a small squabble or "creative differences". Go to any good search engine, and look up Nicole Bass, as an example. He made her life a living Hell. His "Creative Department" is a JOKE!!! He destroys his wrestlers with insanely dangerous matches and steroids. Eddie Guerrero and Chris Benoit and his family are just his latest victims. He should be jailed for whatever charges they can find to charge him with.

As for Chris, if it was indeed "Roid Rage", he wasn't in control of what he was doing at the time of the murders\suicide. From what I've read, it's like being on PCP-the lowered tolerance for frustration, the heightened anger level, and the almost super-human strength. It's almost like a Jekkyl & Hyde episode. You don't realize what you've done till it's over. From what's been said about the bruising on Nancy's body, it sounds like he had he tied up and got her into a "camel-clutch" or similar hold, which would put her on her belly with his knees in her back, pulling her upper torso off the ground. To do that to his own wife, he must not have been "with it" at all.

And I believe the bibles by his wife and son may have been his way of expressing his remorse when he finally can back to himself and realized what he'd done. I don't believe he did this in a ruthless fashion.

Again-my thoughts and prayers go out to Chris, Nancy, Daniel, their families, friends, co-workers and fans.

:rose: RIP Chris, Nancy and Daniel :rose:

Where the steriods Chris's? Here in this news report is an interesting bit....

"Meanwhile, authorities said Benoit's son, Daniel, had old needle marks in his arms. His parents reportedly considered him undersized and had given him growth hormones."

I think it speaks volumes about the world we live in that before any of this came out...the WWE canceled their live show and decided to hold a tribute to the man...about 5 hours after his body was found.

Five friggin hours!!

I understand the death of a co-worker has got to be hard no matter the circumstances...but they could have just canceled the show, shown a movie, given everyone the night off and waited for the real story to come out. Ya know...instead of paying tribute to a guy who just killed is own 7 year old son and wife.

????? You think he did the Camel Clutch ??????? Now that would be "bizarre."

[samanthajane13]

"????? You think he did the Camel Clutch ??????? Now that would be "bizarre.""

I just don't know...but - ""The medical examiner found bruising on the small of her back and bruising
on the front of her body consistent with being crushed up against the floor.""

Sounds like a camel clutch or something similar to me...what else would bruise the small of her back AND the front of her body, AND have a crushing action? :confused:

I just don't know, and the whole thing makes me very sad and a bit ill...:(

I guess it sounds possible and sure is sick. I think I read something on one of the dirt sheets about the possibility that he used some type of "choke hold" on his son, which sounds beyond disgusting to me, and I hope it isn't true.

I was a big Benoit fan, and this just makes me sick. I could not be more shocked, except for the fact that crazy things and sudden death seem to happen a lot in wrestling.

I wonder if we'll ever know what, if anything, set him off?

[Spencer33]

I'm hoping we one day find out what was really going on in Benoit's house, too. When his wife filed for a divorce back in 2003, it seems like I read she had a safety deposit box where important papers and proof were kept and her friends knew to go there if something happened to her. I'm hoping that she kept some things there recently, too. Other than that, there's not much hope of knowing what was really going on.

[Spencer33]

The news is now saying that Benoit and his wife argued over caring for their son in the days before the murder-suicide:

In the days before pro wrestler Chris Benoit killed his wife and child and hanged himself, the couple argued over whether he should stay home more to take care of their mentally retarded 7-year-old son, an attorney for the wrestling league said Wednesday.

"I think it's fair to say that the subject of caring for that child was part of what made their relationship complicated and difficult, and it's something they were both constantly struggling with," said Jerry McDevitt, an attorney for World Wrestling Entertainment. "We do know it was a source of stress and consternation."
McDevitt said the wrestling organization learned from the couple's friends and relatives that the Benoits were struggling with where to send the boy to school since he had recently finished kindergarten.

He also said Benoit's wife didn't want him to quit wrestling, but she "wanted him to be at home more to care for the kid. She'd say she can't take care of him by herself when he was on the road."

The child suffered from a rare medical condition called Fragile X Syndrome, an inherited form of mental retardation often accompanied by autism, McDevitt said.

Ya know...instead of paying tribute to a guy who just killed is own 7 year old son and wife.

You know that is the bottom line. He murdered his family and whatever are contributing circumstances he still did this. For anyone to think a tribute is necessary or deserved is just as sick as the act itself.

[samanthajane13]

Okay-maybe they jumped the gun with the tribute show. They didn't have all the facts 5 hours after the deaths were discovered.

But think about this scenario-

One of YOUR fellow workers is discovered dead. Everyone is talking about it, and consoling each other. They're all saying what a nice person "so and so" is. They all stand around talking about their experiences with that deceased-what he with them on week-ends...in their spare-time...telling stories about the office Christmas party or the office family bar-b-q...

Then you find out that he was embezzling from the company...POW!!! He's an *****-hole, etc,

That's what happened with the tribute show. It was just the way WWE celebrated his life and swapped stories about him, and shared their memories with his fans. I'm sure they didn't know the circumstances behind the deaths of the Benoit family. And I'm sure they didn't intend to screw with anyone's sensibilities.

Sharig memories helps with the healing, and there are LOTS of people who need to heal over this. The Benoits' remaining family, in-laws and friends, his co-workers and fans all have to come to terms not only with the passing of the family, but they also have to come to terms about the role Chris played in this tragedy.

They did the same thing when Eddie Guerrero passed away. Did ANYONE condemn Eddie when the coroner's report came out to link his heart problem with steroid use??? NO!! And before anyone tears me a new one, I know steroid use isn't the same thing as killing your wife and child. I'm just saying that WWE remembers it's deceased wrestlers in their own way.

It reminds me of a story- A Japanese family and a Christian family are both paying their respects to their departed loved ones at a cemetary. The Christian family has brought LOADS of flowers to place at the graves, and they look over at the Japanese family, and notice they're leaving FOOD at their family's graves. The Christian mother askes the Japanese mother why she's made all that food, just to leave it on graves. The Japanese mother replys that she's sure her departed loved ones would rather have a nice home-cooked meal if they come back, rather than smelling a bunch of flowers.

The moral of this story is-just because we deal with death differently, it doesn't make EITHER way WRONG!

Personally, I'm really p-o-ed at WWE. They've not only removed all Benoit merchandise from their on-line shop-making sure his fan won't get the opportunity to buy memorabilia, they've removed any and all reference to Chris in any way shape or form. Like he never existed. Like he never won any titles, etc. Regardless of his demons, he WAS a CHAMPION! He had a following, and to simply remove him from the site was stupid. They've totally disavowed any knowledge of anything he ever achieved before he snapped.

I'm sorry to vent, but I just had to get this off my chest, as I am one of those lost, confused fans.

[concernedperson]

I am sorry. Greatness doesn't occur because you are a wrestling champion. Greatness occurs when your life is abiding by God's rules. Don't kill your wife and child. These people are greater than all the sum of his parts. They are the ones who sat beside him daily and his boy was special because he was his son and to take that life is not even comprehensensible.

This was a little boy. He was vulnerable and I am sure he loved his daddy. His wife trusted him too much after the 2003 separation and abuse charges. She was vulnerable too.

This is a horrible case with public acknowledgement but to glorify this man is just wrong. JMO.

[aldred]

IMO. This happens all the time. The male spouse killing his wife and kids and then himself. As it says in David Lohr's news story on CL, police did not find any evidence to suspect that the murders happened in a rage.

I think the cause of this tragedy lies in the mental status of Benoit's brain. One reply in this thread mentions that his wife filed for divorce in 2003. The fact that his son had Fragile-X and that they had argued (?) over what to do for their son.

It wouldn't come as a surprise if they report that the Benoit family was coming apart.

Steroids might have affected Benoit's brain over the years. For example; causing the paranoia.


The little I know about tragedies like this one is that the husband, or even ex-husband, becomes so depressed that they see death for everyone as the only option but not because of hate or rage. But because of a delusion that spring from depression.

[Speedy2]

I agree with Concernedperson. It is not what you accomplish in life that makes you Great or defines you, it is who you are inside and out that for the people that you care about that does that for you (sappy but true). IMO all of the Benoit memorabilia should be removed from all venues for the time being until the situation is resolved and wounds have time to heal for both sides of the families. If I were a friend or family member of Nancy I sure would not want to walk into a Toy-R-Us with my child and see a action figure of the man who killed someone close to me.

I have to wonder about the eerie posting on the Internet about the wife's death before anyone knew about it... and how it can from the WWE headquarters... did someone else know what was about to happen?????

News Article from The Australian June 29,2007

Australia link to wrestler murders (http://www.theaustralian.news.com.au/story/0,20867,21988910-2703,00.html)
Australia link to wrestler murders

<LI class=byline>
June 29, 2007
AN Australian link has emerged in the mystery of who altered pro wrestler Chris Benoit's Wikipedia entry to mention his wife's death - hours before authorities discovered the bodies of the couple and their son.

Benoit strangled his wife and seven-year-old son last weekend, placing Bibles next to their bodies, before hanging himself on the cable of a weight-machine in his home, authorities said.

Police found the bodies in the wrestler's suburban Atlanta home on Monday afternoon.

Investigators are looking into the alteration of Benoit's Wikipedia entry early on Monday morning to say that the wrestler had missed a match two days earlier because of his wife's death.

The anonymous edits, one in Australia, were made up to 14 hours before police said they found the wrestler and his family dead, said Wikipedia, a reference site that allows users to add and edit information.

A Wikipedia official, Cary Bass, said the first entry was made by someone using an internet protocol address registered in Stamford, Connecticut, where World Wrestling Entertainment is based.

It told of Benoit missing a wrestling match on Saturday night "stemming from the death of his wife Nancy".

Wikipedia editors quickly removed the reference, saying there was no reliable source. It is not known where the posting was sent from.

But about an hour later another anonymous entry was made using a wireless internet provider in Australia, Wikipedia's news site Wikinews said.

The entry also referred to the "passing" of Benoit's wife, but was removed 20 minutes later, again because of doubts about its accuracy.

"It didn't become apparent until someone put the pieces together and realised that the comment was made by someone who apparently knew about the murders," Bass told Wikinews.

Wikipedia said it had been unable to conclude whether the anonymous editors had inside information about the death of Nancy Benoit.

No motive was offered for the killings.


Very interesting something reeks about this whole thing!

[nightwatcher]

Here are the 5 (alleged) text messages Benoit sent in the early morning hours on Monday. I guess that's one way the police determined Benoit didn't kill himself until Monday.



http://www.wrestlinginc.com/v2/wi/stc/nws/2007/6/26/24735.shtml

I heard there were a total of 9 text messages. I believe that one of them had the initials C.S. at the beginning of the message. I keep thinking that it must be the initials of one of the other wrestlers Chris was friends with, but I can't think of who that might have been. Can anyone else think of who that might be? :confused: :shrug:

[grasshopper]

Bump for discussion

[ms.ma'am'sgram]

This is my first post here, so be gentle, please.

I am not sure what happened inside the Benoit house. I think if there is anyone else's DNA around where the bodies were, it needs to be tested POST HASTE.

If Chris did do this, I think that steroid use along with his previous head injuries need to be looked at as a possible cause. In no way I am excusing him for his actions, if in fact he did kill his wife and child.

There are too many things that just don't make sense to me. I hope we find the answers soon!

[samanthajane13]

I agree, and have said the same thing from the start, but with the Benoits now cremated and buried, it's gonna be hard if anything is inconclusive, because there are nobodies to exhume.

And I'm STILL looking for the FULL PHYSICAL AUTOPSY!!!

NOT THE TOX REPORTS, LE PEOPLE!!!
