jesus they changed it from a homicide to a murder-suicide in less than an hour. wtf is going on

i swear he was going to win the title last night too

after hearing all the great things everyone had to saw about him and how much he loved his family this just doesnt seem true that he would kill them then himself.

you know WWE was gonna put the ECW title around Benoit.


ive been browsing on wrestling websites. Was Benoit having marital problems? did Nancy want a divorce? did she cheat on Benoit. Chris finds out about it, just mentally flips out. in rage chokes her to death. (But it just doesnt make sense why would Chris kill his boy).

then its early specualation. was Nancy not thinking straight. she think Chris was messing around with a diva. that sunday night they have an arguement she poisons him with a drink and the kid too. could have Nancy killed Chris and their son, freaks out and goes into a room and kill herself.

this will be interesting to hear what happened, their doing an autospy tommorrow.

ok this is just weird

"The 4:01 June 25th edit
If you look through the history of Beniot's page, you can see an edit over 18 hours before his death was announced saying he missed Sunday night's event because of the rumored death of his wife. I have not read any legit sources that suggest anyone knew about his wife's death prior to his, but that edit looks somewhat cryptic now. How could an editor have known that his wife was dead 18 hours before the story broke that his family was dead? Wesleymullins 04:37, 26 June 2007 (UTC)

Yeah that is kind of really odd... Shows as the 10:01 edit for me, but ehh, still was before the 2:30 discovery of the bodies. Very weird. Also to view it click here -- Shatterzer0 04:52, 26 June 2007 (UTC)
That's 4:01 GMT. I think that would be 12:01 a.m. Eastern Daylight Savings Time. Or 14 and a half hours before the bodies were reported discovered. Rklawton 05:09, 26 June 2007 (UTC)

Just to add to this craziness, I looked up the IP and it comes from Stamford, Connecticut; which happens to be where WWE headquarters is located. I thought this was too weird not to mention."

and ABC reporting that "instruments of death were located on the scene"

this just gets more insane by the minute

World Wrestling Entertainment is providing more details about the shocking turn of events leading to the deaths of Chris Benoit, his wife Nancy and son Daniel.

WWE officials were first notified this weekend by Benoit that he would be unable to appear at a scheduled Smackdown/ECW House Show in Beaumont, TX on Saturday and the Vengeance PPV the following Sunday in Houston, TX (where he was scheduled to compete for the vacant ECW World Title against CM Punk). Benoit informed WWE officials that he had a serious family emergency and left it at that.

WWE's VP of Government Relations Richard Hering was then made aware of several curious text messages sent by Benoit to WWE employees and wrestlers on Sunday morning. WrestleView.com has spoken with at least one strong source about this situation stating that Benoit's text messages almost had a "thank you and goodbye" theme to them causing many to be alarmed and concerned. As a result, Hering contacted Fayette County sheriffs on Monday and requested that they check out the Benoit residence when he was not getting back to WWE officials.

Authorities then responded to the Benoit residence and reportedly had a difficult time entering their new home on Monday afternoon, which was guarded by two large German Shepards roaming around the property. When authorites entered the home, they immediately located the bodies of Benoit, Nancy and Daniel. World Wrestling Entertainment was then notified of the discovery at approximately 4:00pm Eastern on Monday. A press conference was held Monday night by Lt. Pope officially ruling the findings as a double muder-suicide within the home.

As reported earlier , it is believed that Benoit killed his wife Nancy and 7-year-old son Daniel over the weekend and then killed himself on Monday. All three bodies have been received by the Georgia Bureau of Investigation's crime lab in Decatur, GA. Autopsies will be performed Tuesday morning, while toxicology reports will not become available for two weeks. It is interesting to note that WWE.com is currently reporting that further information relating to the investigation and cause of death are known at this time, but the Fayette County Sheriff?s Department has requested that information not be released by WWE at this time.

I really don't know what to think. He was an incredible wrestler and I was shocked at his death, but this murder-suicide thing has just floored me. To hear the WWE wrestlers last night talk about how much he loves his kid...it's just bizarre. I don't know what to think.

if this turns out to be true, and it is becoming more and more apparent that it is true, then Chris Benoit should be reviled, not revered. i had a huge amount of respect for him and his wrestling talents, but if he murdered his wife and kid, he is nothing but a piece of shit who deserves no respect whatsoever. i want to hold my judgment until all the facts of the case are out, but this is just too unbelievable.

There have been a few similat cases to this in the news recently.Her,in Ireland a guy and his wife killed themselves and their children.Another women killed herself and her daughter.They even made funeral arrangements before they did.There was also a guy in New York i think.HE was originally from Ireland.He had split with his wife and he killed his daughters and himself.I cant understand why people do this.Fair enough if they end up killing thmeselves over depression or whatever but its down right selfish not to give you kids a chance at life.

wow, i wonder if wwe is wishing they didnt do a 3 hour special towards him now

it should be interesting to see how the fans react during tonights smackdown/ecw taping if wwe does any last tribute or moment of silence for him.

WWE is doing the right thing by distancing themselves from the situation. i won't be surprised if the media somehow tries to blame this on wrestling. the best thing for Vince to do is put as much distance between WWE and Chris Benoit, at least until all the facts are out.
