That's the first thing I thought...we had one about five miles from my house on Father's Day. Wife shot the husband, then herself in front of 15 year old daughter...tragic

Wrestling star Chris Benoit, his wife, Nancy, and their 7-year-old son Daniel were found dead in their suburban Atlanta home Monday. The deaths are being investigated as a possible suicide and double homicide, authorities told ABC News.

Lt. Tommy Pope of the Fayette County Sheriff's Department told ABC News that Benoit had missed several appointments over the weekend, leading concerned parties to ask police to do a "welfare check." When sheriffs arrived at the Benoits' home, they found the wrestler, his wife, and their son dead.


There were no signs of gunshot wounds or stabbing, according to Pope. Authorities are not ruling out other causes, such as poisoning, suffocation, or strangulation. Pope told ABC News that his department is looking at this situation as a "possible double murder, suicide."

Pope said "the instruments of death were located on scene," but would not specify what those instruments are or where in the house the bodies were found. Pope added the department is "not actively searching for any suspects outside of the house."

Very sad

My friend's sister lives in ATL and used to work for WCW and said the local fox affiliate just reported the police are treating it as a murder/suicide and that all three bodies were found in different rooms. That is being reported. The speculation is that Chris killed his wife on saturday and his son yesterday and himself today.

So sad.
