They gotta do something about the steroids in wrestling. Too many guys under the age of 50 shouldn't be dying this much.

It said his family died also. Very sad. I'll be curious to see what happened to them. God bless them and may they rest in peace.

Eerie... he was just on TV a few minutes ago wrestling. Must be one of (if not his last) matches...
Something strange about his whole family passing with him, seems like they were poisoned or something. He called the WWE to say he couldn't make it to a show because his family were "spitting up blood".

RIP Chris + family.

I know this is a boxing site but this is still huge news in the world of ANY sport

On June 25, 2007, Benoit, his wife Nancy Daus, and their son Daniel were found dead in their home at around 2:30 PM.[83] It was first reported to fans of WWE on their WWE Mobile Alerts Service and posted to their official website soon after. Exact details are not yet known, and an investigation is ongoing.[2] On their website, World Wrestling Entertainment released the following statement[84]:
“ World Wrestling Entertainment is deeply saddened to report that today Chris Benoit and his family were found dead in their home. There are no further details at this time, other than the Benoit family residence is currently being investigated by local authorities.

Tonight’s Raw on USA Network will serve as a tribute to Chris Benoit and his family. WWE extends its sincerest thoughts and prayers to the Benoit family’s relatives and loved ones in this time of tragedy.
”

WWE canceled the scheduled three hour long live RAW show on June 25, and replaced the broadcast version with a tribute to his life and career, featuring his past matches, segments from the Hard Knocks DVD and comments from wrestlers and announcers.[7]

Fayette County, Georgia police are investigating Benoit's house following the discovery of the bodies. Lieutenant Tommy Pope of the Fayette County Sheriff's Department reported to ABC News that it was being investigated as a "possible double murder-suicide",[85] and the police were not searching for any suspects outside of the house, as the instruments of death were located on scene.[86]

He called the WWE to say he couldn't make it to a show because his family were "spitting up blood".

RIP Chris + family.

Are you serious? Wow that is terribly sad. In another article it said instruments of death were found at the house but no gunshots or stab wounds. I wonder...oh man that is depressing to think about.
