Authorities Await Autopsies in Deaths of Wrestler, Family:
Here are some ominous and disturbing quotes about the murder-suicide investigation of Chris Benoit and family.
Details of the deaths “are going to prove a little bizarre” when released to the public, Fayette County District Attorney Scott Ballard told the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. 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.
“We’re pretty sure we know, but we want to confirm it with the crime lab,” Ballard said early Tuesday.
Asked about the condition of the interior of the house, 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.
Whiteside said toxicology tests could take up to a week or longer to complete.
I’ve also heard from another report that the implements of the crime were found at the scene. What they were police aren’t saying just yet.
The WWE has been urged by authorities not to release any more information.
As a fan, I’m hoping that they’re wrong about the murder-suicide but as a crime blogger, I know they’re not. It always sucks to see one of your TV heroes turn out to be a real-life villain.
