Chris Benoit and family found dead

After the tragic event, using 20-20 hindsight, there are always "signs" to point at but the simple fact is that human beings are complex and most folks have a hard enough time keeping their lives together let alone seeing signs of trouble in others. The best way to proceed is to forget about pointing fingers and seek the answers where ever they might be!

In other words, the beat goes on and more wrestlers will perish under the care of Vince McMahon.

Pillow,
Not to jump in, but I think you are taking Somerfrost's general point and trying to make it specific.
I think SF is looking at the "big picture", and I think he's on target.
I am not a "mental health professional", but what little I DO know is that mentally stable people do not commit suicide, nor do they kill their wife and son. This whole thing is very tragic.

Benoit is a sick man, what the hell. I don't care what Mental Health problems you have, take them out on yourself and kill yourself, not your wife and 7 year old son.

Kind of a vicious circle... if he did in fact have mental problems, it's not like he could control who he took it out on.

More details coming out.

steroid use can make one very short tempered, correct? who knows, maybe things were bad, she called and said don't come home, and he snapped. hell, there's a past there--how many here have had a restraining order against them? tony and i have known each other over 20 years, no cops to this point, and i sure don't anticipate any!

Yes it can. And if you suffer from depression it will only make matters worse. I wouldn't be surprised if Benoit was a manic. That with the combination of steroids would equal a deadly combo.

OK Dr.Pillow Pants...Benoit was sick we know the story now, BUT every public figure can have the same thing happen to them if they choose to do drugs or are sick. You don't like professional wrestling...FINE. But this can happen in all walks of life. IT'S TRAGIC AND ONLY MR. BENOIT IS TO BLAME!

Ok Dr. Hoff, calm down. Nobody is going to take away your right to watch half-naked guys hug each other.

RKO is a fine a$$ mother fugga. Other than him, I've never been that interested in wrestling. Hulk Hogan is pretty funny, though.
