More bizarre details released

Steroids discovered in probe of slayings, suicide:

I think if the story of the deaths of the Benoits were handed to the WWE writer monkeys I think even they would think that it was too unrealistic.

District Attorney Scott Ballard told ESPN that 7-year-old Daniel Benoit had needle marks in his arms and may have been given growth hormones for a while because the family thought he was too small.

That was only one of the strange facts that Ballard revealed. He said that two text messages of note caused authorities to investigate the house. In one, Benoit told somebody he knew that his wife and son were sick.

“Of course, they were dead,” Ballard told ESPN.com.

In a second message to a neighbor, Benoit said that the door of the house was open and the pets were outside.

“And our assumption is that that was an effort to try and get somebody to come find the bodies after the suicide,” Ballard said. “That is our assumption.”

That first text message is believed to have been sent to Chavo Guerrero, WWE wrestler, and nephew of the late Eddie Guerrero.
