1: Steroids are NOT the cause. I repeat, NOT the cause. You can't stop and think while on a Roid rage.

2: I fully believe that someone else was involved in this to set up Benoit. Notice how they have not said anything about finger prints, nor was there any weapon found. There are still a lot of holes in this investegation. Nothing is concrete yet.

They did say he used the sheets on his son's bed to smother him. And he hung himself on one of those stretch ropes in a gym set. Nothing with his wife. All I know is that the wife was killed in an upstairs family room, her body found bound by her hands and feet, and that there was what was claimed to be blood under her head.

But I just don't care anymore. I lost it.

[adrenaline]

Jerry, this is hard of all who knew him. I never knew him personally, like you did. So it doesn't affect me as much as you. We're all taking this hardly. We all "lost it" it being a part of us.

I've resently found out that most of the text messages in the case were from Nancy's cell phone.

Details.

- Lt. Pope: WWE called police officials at 2:30PM on Monday over concern for Benoit’s well being. Police found all three bodies in the home. “Double Homicide Suicide” is the official ruling.

- It appears Benoit killed his wife on Friday, his son shortly after, and likely hanged himself either late Saturday night or early Sunday.

- No suicide note was left behind.

- Asphyxiation is the official ruling for Benoit’s wife and son deaths.

- Benoit was previously arrested for a DUI.

- A lot of prescription medication was found in the home, legal prescriptions.

- Police found anabolic steroids in the home.

- No comment from police regarding a possible motivation.

- He killed himself several hours, but no more than a day, after killing son Daniel.

- Police is unaware of prior domestic violence.

- District Attorney Scott Ballard stated that a Bible was placed near each murder victim.

- Benoit bond Nancy’s hands and feet and she was wrapped in a towel. Blood was found near Nancy’s body.

- In 2003, a temporary restraining order was sought but later dropped.

- Benoit made no attempt to hide the bodies.

- The DA himself has not heard from WWE.

- Daniel was found in an upstairs bedroom. Benoit’s wife was also found in an upstairs family room, and Benoit hung himself in the weight room in the basement.

- The toxicology reports are still pending. It will probably take more than two weeks for the reports to be finished.

- Benoit apparently called WWE stating that Daniel was coughing up blood, thus likely the “personal reasons” for missing weekend house shows.

I bolded the most interesting ones IMO.

Damn....

[Trouble*]

There was a bible by Daniel and Nancy, but not one near Benoit. Do you think he knew what he was doing was wrong?

[adrenaline]

If he wasn't blcked out and not under his own mind, then yes. If he was, then no.

Screw it. I'm not going to stop without all the answers. Here's more information you guys. And Cab, you're right, I too doubt steroids were involved.

Below is a detailed WWE/Chris Benoit timeline from Saturday to Monday:

Saturday, June 23, 2007

Chris Benoit was scheduled to appear at the WWE SmackDown/ECW live event in Beaumont, Texas.

3:30 p.m.
A co-worker received a voice message from Benoit. The message from Benoit stated he missed his flight and overslept, and would be late to the WWE live event. The co-worker called Benoit back, Benoit confirmed everything he said in his voice message and sounded tired and groggy. Benoit then stated, “I love you.” The co-worker stated that it was “out of context.”

3:42 p.m.
The same co-worker was concerned with Benoit’s tone and demeanor and called Benoit for a second time. Benoit did not answer the call and the co-worker left a message stating “just call me back.”

3:44 p.m.
Benoit called the co-worker back stating he didn’t answer the call because he was on the phone with Delta changing his flight. Benoit stated he had a real stressful day due to Nancy and Daniel being sick with food poisoning. They discussed travel plans for the WWE tour of Texas with Benoit still sounding groggy at this point according to the co-worker.

4:30 p.m.
A co-worker who consistently travels with Benoit, called Benoit from outside Houston airport and Benoit answered. Benoit told the co-worker that Nancy was throwing up blood and that Daniel was also throwing up. Benoit thought they had food poisoning. Benoit stated he changed his flight and he would be arriving into Houston at 6:30 p.m. Benoit told the co-worker to drive onto the WWE event.

5:35 p.m.
Benoit called WWE Talent Relations stating that his son was throwing up and that he and Nancy were in the hospital with their son, and that Benoit would be taking a later flight into Houston, landing late, but would make the WWE live event in Beaumont.

6:10 p.m.
A representative of Talent Relations called Benoit. The representative from Talent Relations asked Benoit what time Benoit was getting into Beaumont. Benoit responded he was leaving Atlanta at 9:20 p.m. Eastern time, arriving into Houston at 9:24 p.m. Central time. The representative from Talent Relations advised Benoit that it would be too late to make the WWE live event in Beaumont. Benoit apologized citing he had a family emergency. The representative from Talent Relations suggested to Benoit that instead of going to the WWE live event in Beaumont, Benoit should take the flight to Houston, rest up and be ready for the Vengeance Pay-Per-View event.

6:13 p.m.
The representative from Talent Relations called Benoit to reconfirm the travel plans with no answer from Benoit. The representative from Talent Relations left a voice message to take the flight and rest up.

Why Chris? Why?

[MindTrick]

unless I missed them, we have to wait for the Toxicology report.

EDIT: either way, if this was Chris that actually did it, you know he wasn't in his right mind. Look back to him hugging and kissing his family- he loved them more than anything. He wouldn't do this if he was thinking straight.

Obvioisly it was. But if he knew.....then....one more question.

[oce]

So many drugs like steroids and pain killers plus alcohol. Bad combination. I understand.

Curt Hennig - 2003
Eddie Guerrero - 2005
Chris Benoit - 2007

Odd years. All in the fourties. All were in WWE at the time of deaths. Who is next?

Dean Melinko 2009? I hope not.

As he said....

[adrenaline]

Judging by the aforementioned "curse", someone big, like the Hulkster (God NO!) or Bret hart, as his body has been a little off recently. (Once again, GOD NO!)

[Trouble*]

Bret Hart's a steroid guy?

[oce]

HOGAN TAKES STEROIDS!?!?!?!?!?!?


Yeah, that would suck if he died.
