Investigators Say Details of Chris Benoit’s Death “Bizarre”
Posted in Entertainment at 9:10 am by Joe June 26th, 2007The following comes from FOXNews.com’s front page story on the double murder-suicide of Chris Benoit. As a side note, FOXNews.com has been all over this story and is also offering photos and videos of Chris Benoit if anyone is interested.
FAYETTEVILLE, Ga. — Details of the deaths of pro wrestler Chris Benoit, his wife and their 7-year-old son may seem “a little bizarre” when released to the public, a prosecutor said.
Authorities were investigating the deaths at a secluded Fayette County home as a murder-suicide and were not seeking any suspects outside the home.
Fayette County District Attorney Scott Ballard told The Atlanta Journal-Constitution, “The details, when they come out, are going to prove a little bizarre.”
Those details may emerge after the completion of autopsies scheduled for Tuesday.
Investigators believe Benoit, killed his wife and son over the weekend and then himself sometime Monday. The bodies were found Monday afternoon in three different rooms of the house on Green Meadow Lane, in a subdivision off a gravel road about two miles from Whitewater Country Club.
The autopsies were scheduled to be done at the Georgia Bureau of Investigation Crime Lab in DeKalb County.
Ballard told The Associated Press a gun was not used in any of the deaths. But he declined to say how the three died.
“We’re pretty sure we know, but we want to confirm it with the crime lab,” Ballard said early Tuesday.
Fayette County Coroner C.J. Mowell did not immediately return phone calls. The answering service for his funeral home said he was out of town.
TBLWrestling.com will continue covering this story on their newsboard. Incidentally, as I write this, FOX News Channel is running a quick overview of the tragedy (including scenes from outside the home) and is teasing a fuller report towards the end of this hour.

I will miss seeing Chris Benoit in the wrestling. I believe he didn’t kill his family. Chris was big on family. They can hardly keep their story straight. First he was hanging in his weightroom. Then he was found next to his wife and son. That makes no since. Yes, it is a tradedy for the family, friends, and WWE. People need to stop guessing and wait for the autopsy result to come back. I have read different stories about what happened. I don’t think you all have a right to guess or say what happened when you make up different storie.
So to the family, friends, and WWE I hope you guys can find the truth.
Take into consideration that Someone who is a perfessional hit person could of done this and made it look like Chris did it.
I don’t believe what they are saying and I think it is wrong to take his thing back that he earned. If you wanna chat email me at Evnasrayn16@aol.com. I am happy to say that Chris Benoit is the Greatest Wrestler and Man to every live. He has made wwe a good show.
Mr.McMahn should go to jail for faking his death!!!
