Former WWE Star and Family Dead
On Monday afternoon police found Chris Benoit and his family dead in his Georgia home. The reportedly dead were his wife and his 7 year old son.
Police are now considering this case a murder-suicide as Chris Benoit being the one who killed his family and himself.
TMZ recently reported this on their website:
Several Atlanta-based law enforcement sources have told TMZ Benoit may have strangled his wife on Saturday, then smothered his son in his bed a day later.
Investigators refuse to officially comment, pending final confirmation by the coroner on the cause and time of the deaths. One source told TMZ that Benoit was texting friends during Sunday’s WWE “Vengeance” Pay-Per-View program — possibly watching the show with his son, who may have been alive at the time.
According to sources, Benoit then hanged himself Monday in a weight room inside the family home.
