    Chris Benoit and wife found dead

    We are still awaiting further details, but PWInsider.com is extremely saddened to report that former WWE and WCW World champion Chris Benoit and his wife, former WCW and ECW personality Nancy "Woman" Benoit were both found dead today in Atlanta, Georgia. Obviously this will be a huge developing story in the days to come but at this point, we'd like to express our deepest condolences to the Benoits' family, friends, and fans at this time.

    A meeting is currently ongoing at WWE TV and it is expected that tonight's three hour Raw will now be dedicated to Benoit's memory.

    6:09 Update: WWE.com issued the following statement this afternoon: "WWE is sad to report that Chris Benoit and his family have been found dead in their home. Police are currently investigating the circumstances surrounding the deaths. Tonight's Raw will be a tribute to Chris and his family."




    I just got this from another site, I went to Wikipedia, and indeed, he's gone along with his wife:





    These young deaths just seem to never stop in the world of pro wrestling.

      I never cared for him but my nephew is going to be stunned when he hears this.
      He's a big 4 horseman fan and has met Benoit many times.

          Wow, that is shocking. Looks like not only his wife, but his 7 year old son is dead as well. Apparently he didn't show up for the PPV last night, and they blamed personal reasons, but it makes you wonder if there was something up that WWE knew about or they were just covering for him when he failed to show up or contact them.

          Apparently there weren't any gunshots, which makes you wonder what happened. Carbon Monoxide poisoning comes to mind.

          His lack of ability on the mike definitely held him back, but he did pretty well for a smaller guy. He was possibly the best technical wrestler in the WWE.

            I just glanced at a few articles and it looks like they're leaning toward homicide. Wonder what happened...

              Benoit was probably the second best pure technical wrestler out there after Kurt Angle.

              It's going to be a very uneasy show tonight on Raw, not only because of Benoit and his family's tragic deaths, but because tonight was supposed to be the mock tribute of McMahon's supposeded death. This will teach McMahon to hopefully stop coming up with these idiotic "death" storylines, especially in a business where death occurs for real amongst wrestlers in a very frequent manner.

              I hate Vince McMahon, he's the friggin' anti-Christ.

                One of the news said he complained his whole family was sick and they were all coughing up blood.
                Would CM do that ?

                Hector,
                Did you see Raw yet on the west coast yet ?

                Vince came on from the start and said he was done with his dead storyline because of this.

                The whole Raw is devoted to Benoit.

                    I'm speechless. Benoit was my absolute favorite wrestler, and seemed like a really good guy to boot.

                      Not yet, Mike, Raw comes in about an hour hour from now.

                      As much as I hate McMahon, I have to give him some credit for immediately dropping his own death storyline and pay respects to Benoit and his family.

                        It's the least he could do

                          Holy crap! That's just sad...and a little creepy. According to Wikipedia:

                          Fayette County, Georgia police are investigating Benoit's house following the discovery of the bodies, and no details have been released other than to announce that none of the three were shot or stabbed to death, and it is being investigated as a possible murder-suicide
                          I hate to think that's what happened to that poor 7 year old boy.

                            WOW just saw on Fox news that police are speculating that Benoit killed his wife and son over the weekend and then commited suicide today. Really hoping this is not true.

                              Holy smokes.

                              I'll reserve judgement until the entire truth comes out.
