Benoit Tragedy

Chris Benoit was a professional wrestler who wrestled in Japan, the WCW, WWF/WWE and ECW. For most of his life and career, Benoit was always considered the ultimate professional and family man. Fans and WWE staff were baffled when he missed a WWE house show and then the Vengeance Pay Per View in Texas, Strange text messages were sent by Benoit to several of his coworkers, alerting them to tell WWE officials. WWE officials contacted the local GA authorities to check on the Benoit home. Benoit, his wife Nancy, and their 7-year-old son Daniel were found dead in their Fayetteville, Georgia home on June 25, 2007. Subsequent investigations confirmed that Chris Benoit murdered his wife, then killed his son before hanging himself in the house's weight room. The aftermath of this tragedy has been speculation about Benoit's motives, the WWE's drug policy and how the WWE operates. There have been new details developing almost daily about these tragic events which shook the professional wrestling world.
