Chris Benoit Murder Suicide Case Leaves WWE Fans Shocked and Stunned

TRAGEDY IN GEORGIA
Authorities in Fayetteville, GA, are still trying to uncover more clues in the evidence of the bizarre double murder suicide that took place in the home of Chris Benoit, the former WWE wrestling superstar who apparently killed his wife and son before killing himself over the weekend of June 23- 24. Autopsies on all the bodies will be performed on Tuesday, June 26th to confirm the evidence already found that proves Benoit did these horrible atrocities before ending his own life.

Benoit's friends and neighbors were alerted to his strange behavior on Sunday when he text-messaged them with some bizarre and strange statements about subjects and topics that are currently unknown. This was then told to employees at WWE who got in touch with authorities in Fayetteville to check on Benoit's house and see if there was anything wrong going on there.

DEAD BODIES FOUND
The sheriff's department arrive at the scene at 2:30 PM Monday and witness the carnage of three bodies lying in Benoit's home, two of the bodies having been dead for over two days. The rest of the police department and coroner's team arrived on the scene a few hours later as the bodies were whisked away to the coroner's office where they are now being examined in detail to discern exactly what the cause of death is in all three bodies.

Benoit was a highly-regarded WWE superstar that had won the world heavyweight and intercontinental championship WWE titles over the course of his WWE career and was scheduled to perform at the WWE Vengeance event Sunday night in Houston, TX, but was replace by another wrestler because of "personal issues" last week.

WWE TRIBUTE TO BENOIT CANCELS OUT "MONDAY NIGHT RAW"
There was no "Monday Night Raw" show on the USA network on Monday night because Vince McMahon, the WWE's CEO, decided to instead run a three-hour tribute to the wrestler who is involved in the double murder suicide tragedy. Since the circumstances surrounding this bizarre case is already very clear, it does seem curious as to why a tribute was created to honor a man who quite likely killed his wife and daughter in cold blood before killing himself.

Vince McMahon has so far not spoken to the press about the case, but he appeared very shaken up on the Monday night tribute show when he reflected on the wrestling prowess Benoit over the ten year career he had enjoyed until the murder/suicide took place.

CAUSES OF DEATH
There were no signs of gunshot wounds or stabbings associated with the deaths of all three people, so we can only speculate at this time what exactly took the lives of all three victims. We do know, however, the instruments of death were found at the scene of the crime and that Benoit was found dead in his weight room. The son's body was found in his bedroom and Benoit's wife was found in the living room.

These kinds of murder/suicides are usually the result of a person who is completely distraught over a bad marriage or has been over-medicated by their doctor for severe emotional trauma in life, and this case looks to be no exception. We can only wait and see exactly what circumstances in Benoit's troubled life lead to the killings of two innocent people on that bleak Georgia morning of June 24th 2007.
