On June 25, 2007, Chris, Nancy, and their son Daniel were found dead in their home in Peachtree City, Georgia[83][84]. It was first reported to fans of WWE on their WWE Mobile Alerts Service and posted to their official website soon after. Exact details are not yet known, and an investigation is ongoing.[2] On their website, World Wrestling Entertainment released the following statement[85]:

 

Watching the tribute show now. It's now being investigated as a homicide. What a tragedy.

 

just read this myself! i haven't watched wrestling for about 4 years or so, but benoit was always the friggin man, b/c he was a beast and was so technical in the ring. i know wrestlings all a show but that man was a true athlete!

RIP Benoit Family

 

The commercials showed a burned down limosine and something about Vince Mcmahon Jr. murdered. Did I totally hear it wrong?

 

no it was just a storyline.. vince gave it up this week to respect benoit..


i hope he didnt kill his family....

 

This is sad. I haven't watched wrestling in a long time, but I remember watching im wrestle. I did find this article on cnnsi.com. They haven't confirmed it yet, but it is sounding bad.

Roid Rage?

 

seems like a double murder-suicide

 

thats what I am thinking..

 

If the reports are true then all that feel-good stuff about his career means nothing. At least when other wrestlers died from overdoses etc. they didn't take anyone with them. What a waste.
