More New Details On The Chris Benoit Double Murder-Suicide:

It seems that reports are confirming that the deaths of Chris Benoit, his wife Nancy, and son Daniel were a double murder-suicide. Dave Meltzer of the Wrestling Observer, who is one of the premiere wrestling writers, is reporting that Benoit killed his wife on Saturday, his wife on Sunday, then himself yesterday. That coincides with this report that not only did Chris Benoit miss the pay per view on Sunday night but missed a house show on Saturday as well.

Wrestler, family dead:

What I feared about the deaths of Chris Benoit, his wife Nancy, and 7-year-old son Daniel may be true. Reports are going around now that the deaths may be a murder-suicide.

Detective Bo Turner told television station WAGA that the case was being treated as a murder-suicide, but said that couldn’t be confirmed until evidence was examined by a crime lab.

The station said that investigators believe the 40-year-old Benoit killed his wife, Nancy, and 7-year-old son, Daniel, over the weekend, then himself on Monday. A neighbor called police, and the bodies were found in three rooms.

I hope that’s not true but it was the first thing that entered my mind when I heard the news. Reports have already stated that they were not gun related deaths. I can only imagine what happened and what violent end they met.
