This is sad. I'm a wrestling fan, but was never really a Benoit fan although you can't help but respect the guy's work ethic. It's a shame. Here's the latest as I just caught it on the news about an hour ago...

They think his wife died on Saturday, the kid died on Sunday and Chris died on Monday. Also, there were no stab or gun wounds on any of the bodies, however the cops are saying the "instrument of death" was found in the home & apparently the kid & mom had been coughing up blood at some point.


V, they are all on heavy painkillers. Getting hit in the head with chairs & thrown through tables, not to mention just the routine beatings they inflict on each other, week in and week out year after year would wear on a body after a while. A LOT of wrestlers (from all companies) die very young (30s or 40s) from painkiller overdose. That's not uncommon at all.

This Chris Benoit thing however, is utterly baffling because all indications are that he was a pretty regular guy that always treated his fans great, loved his family and worked really hard in & out of the ring. If he is responsible like they are speculating, it would be 100% out of character for a guy like him to do something of this nature.
