I still stand by my theory of earlier. I bet Benoit and Eddie (best friends?) were into drugs, and that combined with the narcotic painkillers and steroids which these guys took...had some drastic effects on their brain cells.

In Eddie's case, he was dead by heart failure, you might argue. But before that he tended to stay depressed for long periods of time (according to his wife and brother). In Benoit's case, (a more stronger and heftier body than Eddie) it caused him to snap!

Of course the fights with his wife (if they happened), the mentally-retarded son...all of it added to his murdering moments. He wasnt doing that great in the ring recently also, so he might also be going through severe depression.

Interestingly, drug habits do tend to make people suicidal. We got plenty of examples there, most recent being Lindsay Lohan who's in rehab now. This must be the first time such stuff has resulted in cold-blooded, calculated murder, that too of one's own family.

I wont say anything in reply to what stubbs said above. Despare & bw covered all the points nicely for me.
