Chris Benoit and family found dead

Report: Wrestler, Family Found Dead:

It’s no secret to my friends that I’m a huge pro-wrestling fan. I turned to the USA Network to watch Monday Night Raw to expect a continuation of the ridiculous storyline of the “death” of Vince McMahon. I was stunned to see a graphic come up on the screen that said “Chris Benoit 1967-2007”. I thought this has to be a work (slang for part of the storyline). Then I saw Vince McMahon breaking character in an empty arena explaining that tonight was supposed to be a continuation of the death of his character but that Chris Benoit and his family were found dead today in their suburban Atlanta home. I quickly hopped on my computer and verified from different legitimate news sources that this was in fact true.

Since he and his family were found dead I can only assume that they were victims of some kind of crime. Chris Benoit was supposed to have competed at a Pay Per View last night except it was announced that he had to take care of an emergency situation at home.

I’m really hoping it’s not what I think it is but I’m a big fan of Occam’s Razor and I’m afraid it will be the most obvious explanation. I hope to God not.

My prayers and condolences go out to the friends, family, and fans of Chris Benoit. Our little soap opera has lost one of its greatest performers if not the greatest.
