Pro Wrestler Strangled Wife & Smothered Son Before Hanging Himself


Pro wrestler Chris Benoit strangled his wife and smothered his son before hanging himself in his weight room, a law enforcement official close to the investigation told The Associated Press on Tuesday.

Authorities also said they are investigating whether steroids may have been a factor in the deaths of Benoit, his wife and their 7-year-old son. Steroid abuse has been linked to depression, paranoia, and aggressive behavior or angry outbursts known as "roid rage."

"We don't know yet. That's one of the things we'll be looking at," said Fayette County District Attorney Scott Ballard. He said test results may not be back for weeks.

Autopsies were scheduled Tuesday by the Georgia Bureau of Investigation.

Authorities were investigating the deaths at a secluded Fayette County home as a murder-suicide and were not seeking any suspects. The official who described the manner of death spoke on the condition of anonymity because the information was to be released at a news conference later Tuesday.

Investigators believe Benoit (pronounced ben-WAH) killed his wife, 43-year-old Nancy, and son Daniel during the weekend and then himself Monday. The bodies were found Monday afternoon in three separate rooms of the house, off a gravel road about two miles from the Whitewater Country Club.

Nancy Benoit filed for a divorce in May 2003, saying their three-year union was irrevocably broken and alleging "cruel treatment." But she later dropped the complaint, as well as a request for a restraining order in which she charged that Benoit had threatened her and had broken furniture in their home.

In the divorce filing, she said Benoit made more than $500,000 a year as a professional wrestler and asked for permanent custody of Daniel and child support. In his response, Benoit sought joint custody.

Fayette County Coroner C.J. Mowell did not return calls seeking comment. The answering service for his funeral home said he was out of town.

Asked about the condition of the interior of the house, sheriff's Sgt. Keith Whiteside said investigators found "nothing really out of the ordinary." He said Benoit was found in the home's weight room, his wife in an office and the son in an upstairs bedroom.

Neighbors said the Benoits led a low-key lifestyle.

"We would see Chris walking in his yard from time to time. He wasn't rude, but he wasn't really outwardly warm," said Alaina Jones, who lives across the street.

Jimmy Baswell, who was Benoit's driver for more than five years, placed a white wreath at the Benoits' gate. "They always seemed like they were the happiest people," he said.

World Wrestling Entertainment said on its Web site that it asked authorities to check on Benoit and his family after being alerted by friends who received "several curious text messages sent by Benoit early Sunday morning."

The WWE, based in Stamford, Conn., said authorities asked that it not release further information on the deaths.

Benoit, born in Montreal, was a former world heavyweight champion, Intercontinental champion and held several tag-team titles. His names in the ring included "The Canadian Crippler."

"WWE extends its sincerest thoughts and prayers to the Benoit family's relatives and loved ones in this time of tragedy," the company said in a statement on its Web site.

"He was like a family member to me, and everyone in my family is taking it real hard," said fellow Canadian Bret Hart, a five-time champion with the World Wrestling Federation. The federation has since changed its name to World Wrestling Entertainment.

Benoit had maintained a home in metro Atlanta from the time he wrestled for the defunct World Championship Wrestling. The Fayette County Tax Assessors Office lists the value of the house, situated on more than 8.5 acres, at nearly $900,000.

The WWE canceled its live "Monday Night RAW" card in Corpus Christi, Texas, and USA Network aired a three-hour tribute to Benoit in place of the scheduled wrestling telecast.

Benoit's wife managed several wrestlers and went by the stage name "Woman." They met when her then-husband drew up a script that had them involved in a relationship as part of a story line on World Championship Wrestling, The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported.

Benoit has two other children from a prior relationship.

I remember watchin this dude.. he always kinda looked like a psycho to me.

Yep, the "Canadian Crippler" lived up to his name... :(

It isn't really verified what exactly happened yet. Some sources say that his wife killed their son, he came home and found out and went berserk on her and then killed himself.

Either way, that is really fucked up. I remember watching and admiring this guy back when I was younger.

Yeah actually I did as well, just because his name sounded cool, and he usually seemed to kick ass.. but who knows what happened, i'm sure the story will unfold eventually, sad to see him go though. o_O

Fuckit.

What a waste of a great body.(nohomo)

He was a nutcase.

Not as much so as Mankind though.

Shit! You read about what Mick Foley/Mankind/Cactus Jack did in the IWA? Shit's tough as hell and insane.

Also, the official story is he killed his wife and then his sone and then hung himself. (Chris Benoit)

Apparently, they had his 7 year old son on growth hormones because he thought he was undersized....

I remember watching him and thinking that he was a small son of a bitch. But being crazy always lead him to have a upper hand in any match. Guess he brought the ring back home. Sad really.....

Aren't a bunch of people in the WWE faking their own deaths?

Vince Mcmahon(sp?) faked his own death a few weeks back.

He did? I thought he really died, and was surprised I didn't hear anything about in the news. Interesting.

Yeah he faked it lmao.

Fag.

Well, with all the hype that was being made, it seemed like he did actually pass on.

Owen Hart didn't fake it. :/

Wasn't he the one who's limo "blew up"?

I heard about this on the radio. It's rather sad.

Dude, you keep throwing out the gay signs for yourself, nobody else even has to point them out... :P lol

No, that was Vince McMahon, the Prez of WWE... and he reported on this story monday, it was all fake, ... Atleast from what I read on CNN earlier.

Why on earth would someone want to fake their own death by blowing up their limo?!

Because WWE is a pathetic shell of its former self and is desperate to get audience.

On that note, I'm downloading Wrestlemania IX

I'm not sure if you guys have WWE overseas, but they do it here for the rednecks and 12 year olds that are entertained by fake wrestling, and blatently fake scripts/plots that are sometimes so horrrible you'd think a porno-producer thought it up... actually, may be on to something.. hmm

It's aired, aye. I used to watch it on occasion, years ago. Even then the daft 'stories' that they tried to weave into each 'episode' made me sick.

That's why the mid 80's to mid 90's had the best wrestling. It wasn't all bullshit and fairytales.

Sorry to double-post, but: http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20070627/.../wrestler_dead

Undertaker needs to bury more people and Kane needs to put back on his retard mask.

I think Owen Hart was the one whose stunt went terribly wrong. He jumped off the top of a stadium and was supposed to bungie or parachute or SOMETHING to the tarp in the ring, but instead just fell to his death....

It was Brett Hart, Owen's brother. Wrerstling was decent when Stone Cold, The Rock, Mankind, Undertaker, Goldust, Shammrock, etc were around. I think most of them are back, but they are alot older. Oh and Sable, etc made it that mucj better.

Actually, it was OWEN Hart.

And he wasn't jumping off of anything, he was being lowered into the ring similar to how Sting is. He's hooked to a cable, and he's lowered down slowly. No jumping, no flying, no parachutes.

The cord broke and he fell onto one of the corner posts of the ring.

No. It was Owen Hart that fell to his death.

Goldust? LOL that dude was a fuckin weirdo. Right up Kagom's alley.

Dudes, back with Rick Flare, Legion of Doom, Rawdy Rawdy Piper, Hogan, Lex Lugar, Jake the Snake, etc. was the BEST fucking Wrestling EVER! When it was just WWF, and not all this ECE, WWE, etc. BULLSHIT. It sucks now.

Legion of Doom.. was that the tagteam that had all the spikes? Those guys rocked my socks. WCW and WWF back in the day = pure ownage.

Yep, those spikes were awesome. I actually dressed up as them with my buddy one Halloween. It was pure genius.

I heard about this on the radio on my way to work this morning, and the son that was killed also had a rare kind of mental retardation, don't remember what it was called exactly....

Fragile X Syndrome.

It's in the report that Kagom posted a link to.

Oh lol, i didn't go to the link :)

I actually invented the Stone Cold Stunner...

Anyone else remember the cartoon from the mid '80s? It was awesomely bad. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hulk_Ho...%27n_Wrestling

Basically if it's before '96, it kicks ass.

By the way: I'm watching Wrestlemania 9!

Damn I'm suprised how many wrestling fans there are on here, and to think, I was the only redneck, ahahaha.

My 2 cents on this topic=don't use steroids, that is all.
