Official Discussion Thread - Chris Benoit and family found dead! R.I.P

[Silik]

I just saw the news a half hour ago and was in total shock. I didn't want to believe it at first... very very sad and difficult to take in.

Benoit was always one of my favorite wrestlers to watch, ever since his early days in WCW.

RIP Chris.

Update (Jun 25th):

News reports are quoting authorities as saying the death of Chris Benoit, his wife Nancy, and son Daniel, is being investigated as a homicide. Furthermore, the Atlanta-Journal Constitution altered the paragraph of their article on the Benoit family deaths. The third paragraph of the article originally read: "Officials would not say how the family died, other than to say they weren't shot to death." The third paragraph of the article has been changed to read: "Officials were investigating the deaths as a murder-suicide." Furthermore, the lieutenant on the case, Lt. Tommy Pope, said the three were actually found at their home at around 2:30 p.m., not 4:00 p.m. like originally reported by the Atlanta-Journal Constitution. The lieutenant said results of autopsies were expected Tuesday.

I agree Hifo but I am just reporting what I see, I do not trust other wrestling sites with news at the moment lol. But this will be horrible but it should not take away from what he did for wrestling.

Stone Cold beat the shit out of his wife but no one remembers him for that and many other stories of wrestlers could be mentioned. This is benoits personal life, we should not mix the two IMO but ofcourse many will.

DOUBLE MURDER-SUICIDE

It has been ruled that the deaths of Chris Benoit, his wife Nancy and their son Daniel earlier today were the result of a double murder-suicide from within the home. WWE.com will have more as soon as it becomes available.

This hole thing is not cool thats all I got to say.

RIP Benoit Family :sad:

[Phenomenal One]

i really, really, really hope that this isnt a murder/suicide. i dont think i could believe it if thats what it is, i just dont see benoit as a person that would do that. so i hope that it wasnt that way.

benoit you will be missed, you wont be forgotten

RIP Benoit!!!!
