FrizzleFried:
I just heard a report on CNN that police have confirmed that they found TRACK MARKS and sighs of RECENT INJECTIONS on the son.  It is speculated that he was injecting human growth hormones and/or steroids in to the kid!  Evidently the kid is small for his age and ole Chris wasn't about to have any of that...

This is going to get even uglier it looks like...

Report: Benoit’s Son Had Fragile X Syndrome
Reported by Brian Cantor on June 26th, 2007

Canadian female Pam Winthrope told News 1130 in Canada that Chris Benoit’s son had a genetic condition called Fragile X syndrome.

According to WebMD, “Fragile X Syndrome is a defect of the X chromosome which causes mild mental retardation. The disorder occurs more frequently and severely among males than females. This condition is the leading known familial cause of mental retardation in the United States. Language delays, behavioral problems, autism or autistic-like behavior (including poor eye contact and hand-flapping), enlarged external genitalia (macroorchidism), large or prominent ears, hyperactivity, delayed motor development and/or poor sensory skills are among the wide range of symptoms associated with this disorder.”

Winthrope, whose son also suffers from the condition, told the Canadian news outlet that her husband reached out to Benoit five years ago in an attempt to increase awareness about Fragile X.

She told News 1130, “We talked to him because I was trying to set up a support group in BC and in Canada, we only have a couple of them. My husband was struggling when we got diagnosed with our son, and Chris was struggling with his. They talked for a few minutes and then he said he didn’t want to be a public face for Fragile X, he just wanted to keep it really, really quiet.”

Winthrope noted that the lack of support for those affected by the disorder can tear families apart. Nonetheless, “she couldn’t believe the news that Benoit had taken his life along with his wife and 7-year-old son,” wrote News 1130.

ChadTower:

It is also possible they are the result of doctor ordered injections... don't know if they do it anymore but I do know in the past kids suspected to be dwarfs were given HGH and there are a couple of other conditions they did that with too.  That doesn't rule out the possibility Benoit injected the kid on his own but the marks alone don't prove that.

shardian:
If the guy was having problems at home that warranted this incident, why didn't he just say something. They could have written him an injury storyline and he could've went home for a few months.

ChadTower:

He just was home for a few months.  It's not an industry where you can keep doing that, especially at the tail end of your career, when the money making clock is ticking loudly.  He had only been back in the loop for a short while.

I've been doing a little reading on the toll Fragile X takes on the family... it's really, really, really hard on them.  I think this is where the trigger lies more than anything else.  That's what they had been fighting about, the boy and his care, cost related to potentially putting him in a home for these kids, just general stress over it.  I'm seeing a really really high divorce rate for Fragile X parents and a high abandonment rate for Fragile X kids.  This also wouldn't be the first murder-suicide, by a long shot, of a desperate Fragile X family.  Last year a women in England jumped off a bridge with her 12 year old Fragile X son.
