The police here in GA are now saying that while it is being investigated as homicides, they believe it was a murder-suicide within the home...that Chris killed Nancy and his son over the weekend, then himself yesterday.

My heart has been breaking in half since 8 PM last night when I got the news.  I refuse to believe the report until the police confirm it.  This just cannot be the Benoit I knew from watching him...the guy loved his family too much.  Something in him had to have snapped, big time.

To the positive, if there is any, for those that didn't see it, Mr. McMahon took center ring last night and said that the "storyline was to have continued the death of my character, Mr. McMahon...in reality, Chris Benoit, his wife Nancy and son are dead."   Sports entertainment takes a LOT of knocks from the press....but I felt this was WWE showing enormous personal character to not only ditch the storyline (which we all knew was horse :censored: anyway) but to cancel last night's show entirely.

If there's anyone I feel sorry for in that organization, it would be Chavo Guerrero.  He lost Eddie two years ago (an uncle) in a sudden death, and now Chris ( a close family member).  He looked like he was crumbling to pieces last night.

As for myself, again I've just been a wreck.  I've been a wrestling fan since I was 6, watching with my grandmother, so I've been a Benoit fan a long, long time.   He was my hero from the time he reached WCW...the guy was just a gifted in-ring performer, the best of my generation.  Nancy, of course, we all knew as the manager "Woman," so I knew of her actions out of the ring.  My heart just breaks for both families and the kids.

Like I said, I will not believe the reports until confirmed....and no matter what, I pray they all rest in peace.  They will be missed.   :'(

That's a sad story. I have always liked Chris Benoit. I admired his work ethic and his passion. R.I.P.

MikeQ:
I've seen a report that the wife killed the son and called Chris saying that he had to come home immediately.  When he got home, he flipped out and killed her and himself.

Yeah , despite conflicting reports , that's the theory I'm going with also. There were also talks of Chris & Nancy having a rocky marriage as of late. Plus the fact, I just don't vision Benoit taking the life of a child.

ChadTower:
Dude, get a grip on your fandom here.  These guys are regular people like any of us.  They also have a tendency to be seriously drug addicted, road exhausted, and in constant physical pain.  Add in the chance of him coming home to something like another guy in his bed and a roid rage incident is very plausible.

Also don't forget his wife was a long time wrestling talent as well and known to be wonked in the head. 

EDIT: 

--- Quote ---An autopsy will be performed on Chris, Nancy, and Daniel this morning, with the results to follow possibly as early as tonight. The investigators that were interviewed for the AP article on the circumstances of the death did not tell the condition of the bodies or possible cause of death, but the police story being told to sources is that Nancy was killed first on Saturday, then Daniel on Sunday, and then Benoit killed himself on Monday after sending the "curious text messages" to his inner circle of friends in WWE. The situation is being handled as a homicide and WWE has announced it as "double murder-suicide".

If true that chucks MikeQ's suggestion out the window.  It also chucks a roid rage incident out the window as they don't last for days.
