WWE® Shocked At Latest Developments In Benoit Tragedy, Concerned By Sensationalistic Reporting
Written: June 26, 2007STAMFORD, Conn., June 26, 2007 – World Wrestling Entertainment is stunned and saddened by the details released by local authorities concerning the double homicide-suicide involving Chris Benoit, his wife, Nancy, and his son, Daniel.

However, WWE is concerned with the sensationalistic reporting and speculation being undertaken by some members of the media following the press conference held by the Fayette County Sheriff’s Department and the District Attorney. During the press conference, the investigating authorities made the following points, all of which run contrary to the media speculation that "roid rage" was a factor in the senseless murders and suicide:

1. The authorities stated that all drugs found in the house were believed to be legal prescriptions.

2. Steroids were not, and could not, be related to the cause of death (asphyxiation). Authorities had no factual basis to speculate as to Benoit’s state of mind, and rightly did not do so.

3. Toxicology tests have not even been completed, so there is no current evidence that Benoit even had steroids or any other substance in his body. In that regard, on the last test done on Benoit by WWE's independently administered drug testing program, done on April 10, 2007, Benoit tested negative.

4. The physical findings announced by authorities indicate deliberation, not rage. The wife's feet and hands were bound and she was asphyxiated, not beaten to death. By the account of the authorities, there were substantial periods of time between the death of the wife and the death of the son, again suggesting deliberate thought, not rage. The presence of a Bible by each is also not an act of rage.

5. WWE strongly suggests that it is entirely wrong for speculators to suggest that steroids had anything to do with these senseless acts, especially when the authorities plainly stated there is no evidence that Benoit had steroids in his body, pending the toxicological reports, and that they had no evidence at this time as to the motive for these acts.

WWE is continuing to monitor the ongoing investigation being conducted by local authorities.


Many people on the TV news are saying how out of character that seems.

I wonder if he was abusing steroids? That can effect the mind.
 
I doubt steroid was involved, but I read one article from Wrestling-Online Newsletter and it said Chris' wife, Nancy did fill divorce form against Chris and Chris threat Nancy by broke furniture in 2003, Nancy decided to drop the case, so I feeling Nancy and Chris have problem in the past till last weekend Chris decided to kill his wife and son then killed himself yesterday, but we wont know toxicoly's result till next 2 weeks...
 
Yea ... I read about that too. Last night RAW show, most wrestlers said Chris Benoit kept himself low-key lifestyle and that he was very quiet guy. That could be the problem that we all don't know what was going on in the past. Yes, but it's too bad that back in 2003, Nancy dropped charges against him three months after tried to file for a divorce and full custody of Daniel. Oh well



I doubt steroid was involved, but I read one article from Wrestling-Online Newsletter and it said Chris' wife, Nancy did fill divorce form against Chris and Chris threat Nancy by broke furniture in 2003, Nancy decided to drop the case, so I feeling Nancy and Chris have problem in the past till last weekend Chris decided to kill his wife and son then killed himself yesterday, but we wont know toxicoly's result till next 2 weeks...
 
Remember the former wrestler, Sensational Sherri passed away back June 15th in Birmingham, Alabama. They said she didn't died of natural causes or suicide so it's still under investigation. Caught the news and it was as of June 22nd says ... An autopsy regarding Sherri Martel's death is pending, and the results are expected to be made public within a few weeks.

So therefore with Benoits' investigation will take awhile. Please don't go juming to conclusions. Perhaps cops looked at Chris' history back in 2003 and think that's it but we don't know for sure till the investigation completely.

On Saturday, June 23, Chris Benoit was slated to appear at a WWE live event in Beaumont, Texas. That afternoon, Benoit contacted WWE to inform them that his wife and child were ill, and that he would not be able to attend the show.

WWE executives rebooked Benoit’s flight for the following morning, allowing Benoit to miss the Beaumont event making alternate arrangements for him to attend the pay-per-view event in Houston on Sunday.

WWE employees attempted to confirm with Benoit his travel plans but were unable to contact him.

Early Sunday morning, between 3:51 and 3:58 a.m., Benoit sent five text messages to co-workers:



Text Message 1 to two co-workers (sent 6/24 at 3:53 a.m.) - Chris Benoit’s cell phone
“My physical address is 130 Green Meadow Lane, Fayetteville Georgia. 30215”

Text Message 2 to two co-workers (sent 6/24 at 3:53 a.m.) - Chris Benoit’s cell phone
“The dogs are in the enclosed pool area. Garage side door is open”

Text Message 3 to two co-workers (sent 6/24 at 3:54 a.m.) - Nancy Benoit’s cell phone
“My physical address is 130 Green Meadow Lane.
Fayetteville Georgia. 30215”

Text Message 4 to two co-workers (sent 6/24 at 3:55 a.m.) - Nancy Benoit’s cell phone
“My physical address is 130 Green Meadow Lane.
Fayetteville Georgia. 30215"

Text Message 5 to one co-worker (sent 6/24 at 3:58 a.m.) - Nancy Benoit’s cell phone
“My address is 130 Green Meadow Lane. Fayetteville Georgia. 30215”



Throughout the day on Sunday, WWE made numerous attempts to contact Benoit both at home and at local hospitals in the Atlanta area. As of 11 p.m., WWE officials were unable to establish contact with Chris Benoit.

At 12:30 p.m. on Monday, June 25, WWE officials were notified of the text messages sent to the co-workers the previous day. By 12:45 p.m., WWE had contacted Fayetteville County Sheriff’s office requesting they check on the Benoit family.

Fayetteville County Sheriff's office made contact with WWE at approximately 4 p.m. advising that they had entered the house of Chris Benoit and found three deceased bodies – an adult male, adult female and a male child. WWE was told that Benoit’s home was now considered a major crime scene.

The decision to cancel the live event scheduled in Corpus Christi that night was made between 4 and 5 p.m. In keeping with company policy, and with limited knowledge regarding facts of the case, WWE choose to air a memorial dedicated to the career of Chris Benoit. As facts emerged surrounding the case, all tributes to Chris Benoit were removed both on-air and on WWE.com.

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

3:30pm
A co-worker received a voice message from Benoit. The message from Benoit stated he missed his flight and over slept 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.”

3:42pm
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.”

3:44pm
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.

4:30pm
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 6:30pm. Benoit told the co-worker to drive onto the WWE event.

5:35pm
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.

6:10pm
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 9:20pm Eastern time arriving into Houston at 9:24pm 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.

6:13pm
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.

Sara1981, Sunshine1 did post timelime between WWE worker(s) and Benoit's text message and why u posted again? U should check her post first then u may posting or not...
 
I think I had enough with this thread! :bye:

:locked::locked::locked::locked:
 
I noticed Sara1981 didn't answer some Sunshine1's questions.

IMO, I think 'roid rage caused Chris Benoit to kill his family or something.

I initially thought roid rage did it too but after reading WWE's statements, I doubt it though. Read this article

WWE: Inside WWE > News > WWE Shocked At Latest Developments In Benoit Tragedy, Concerned By Sensationalistic Reporting

It makes sense to me.. if it was roid rage, it would not take hours between his wife and his son's death. He was acting with "deliberation". Why this "deliberation", I have no idea. Perhaps his wife threatened to leave him?
 
Yea, perhaps about his wife was threatened to leave him again but no documental or whatsoever for proof. Hmmmm if there was then perhaps Chris destoryed it? Who know.

My suggestion: it's easier to press bad report under Sara's avator to spread out to all Moderators and Admin.'s attention.



I showed your thread to my both sons. They are very shock and remember about Eric who died last year... They asked either it's really true that he killed his family then killed himself? I explained that we cannot judge yet until autopsy official then we will know more.

My sons suggested that it could be drugs to influence his mind like this?
