TODAY'S SADNESS

I'm not sure if any readers watch wrestling. I've been a fan for many years and Chris Benoit has been one of my favorites for a long time. Yesterday, along with his wife and 7 year old son, he was found dead in his home. I found this out last night when I put my tv on USA to watch WWE Raw and there was a tribute on for him. At that time, they were not giving any details except that he and his family were found dead in their home. This is what I find today:

Benoit failed to appear both at Saturday’s live event in Beaumont, Texas, and WWE’s Vengeance: Night of Champions in Houston Sunday night, after informing WWE of a family emergency. Several curious text messages sent by Benoit early Sunday morning prompted concerned friends to alert Richard Hering, VP of Government Relations for WWE, Inc. Hering, in turn, spoke with Fayette County sheriffs Monday, and requested they respond to the Benoit residence to check on him and his family.

At 10 p.m. Monday night, Lt. Pope held a press conference in conjunction with Scott Ballard, the district attorney for Fayette County. The press conference officially ruled authorities’ findings as a double murder-suicide from within the home.

WAGA, a FOX-owned and operated television station in Atlanta, reported that investigators believe Benoit killed his wife and 7-year-old son over the weekend, then himself on Monday.

I am completely shocked that a man that I respected so much as a wrestler could do this to his family. That's all I have to say. R.I.P.
