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.

Default So very sad

I wrestle in the Dallas Fort Worth area, along with being a huge horse racing fan, chris benoit made me love wrestling. he personified what I loved about wrestling. Size didnt matter he beat guys who were almost a foot taller than him. He flew so well off the ropes for his trademark headbutt. I try to model myself after him in wrestling. Its so hard that to realize he's not gonna be there ne more.

I used to love the World Championship Wrestling promotion run by the Von Erichs in the 80's, another sad thing with what happen to thier family with the deaths of thier four boys.

That is really neat.

I was really interested in fitness modeling a few years ago so when Trish Stratus signed a contract for the WWE I started watching. Around the same time, I met a friend at the gym who was wrestling for various companies on the East coast. He had just started so it was really interesting to see his character develop. Knowing the beating I took from hours at the gym I had all the respect in the world for the beatings he took! LOL One night I went to go watch his show and was standing alone when a little kid came up and asked if I was a wrestler's girlfriend. I said no, but such and such character was a good friend of mine. Well my friend was a heel and you could tell this kid really didn't like him by the expression of his face!
