WWE's Benoit
is found dead

By SIMON ROTHSTEIN
June 26, 2007


WRESTLING legend Chris Benoit and his family have been found dead in their home in Atlanta, Georgia.

The star, renowned as the greatest in-ring grappler of his generation, had just turned 40.

Chris, his wife Nancy and their son Daniel were all discovered by Atlanta police.

It is believed his two other children were in Canada, where Benoit was born and trained as a wrestler.

The tragedy follows the early deaths of Chris's best pal Eddie Guerrero, Owen Hart, British Bulldog Davey Boy Smith, Sensational Sherri and many other wrestling stars.

A statement on WWE.com said: "World Wrestling Entertainment is deeply saddened to report that Chris Benoit and his family were found dead in their home.

"There are no further details at this time, other than the Benoit family residence is currently being investigated by local authorities.

"WWE extends its sincerest thoughts and prayers to the Benoit family’s relatives and loved ones in this time of tragedy."

Chris will always have a place in the heart of wrestling fans worldwide thanks to his classic matches in Japan, ECW, WCW, and especially the WWE.

His hug with Eddie at WrestleMania XX was one of wrestling's most memorable moments - and will now never, ever be forgotten.

What the hell!?????
ITs so sad......[:(]

He was my fav wrestler. First Eddie, the Chris.[:(] Why both WM20 champions have to go. [:(]. This is so sad.

I wonder if Vince will rise from dead or will keep the storyline of him being fake died continue

OMG , This is so sad. Chris Benoit was one of all time favourite as was Eddie Guerrero. I doubt if these are natural deaths.

WTH! :shock:

This is insane.First Eddie now this.Then there was this incident of Vince McMahon's car being blown to smithreens & followed with a rumor that he was dead too.Hard to believe it.Benoit was the most awesome wrestler of all time.In fact he was the one with the greatest stamina compared to any other wrestler.Very sad indeed.:(

vince is alive . It was just part of their storyline. Dont tell me that u believe WWE is for real.
Vince also showed up in Raw last night and told that He has to show up because this was not part of their storyline . Chris really died.

The sun says
WWE boss Vince McMahon - whose character had been 'killed' on TV when his limo 'exploded' - opened the show.

He told fans: "Tonight's storyline was to be the alleged demise of my character Vince McMahon, but in reality Chris Benoit, his son and wife are dead.

WWE Monday night canceled its scheduled live 3-hour "Monday Night RAW" program, which coincidentally was originally billed as a "memorial service" for WWE chairman Vince McMahon, whose character was recently killed off in a controversial scripted storyline.

McMahon opened the show from center ring in an empty arena and clarified that Benoit and his family had died "in reality." McMahon called Benoit "one of the greatest WWE superstars of all-time."
here is the proof of what I said.

Hmmm sad indeed but there's a new twist to the story that chris and his wife nancy gave their son steroids as they considered him to be undersized and chris commited suicide. Now thats ugly that he was so so addicted to it. What can you say hmmm sad but he brought it on himself.

Police were originally confused by bruising on the young lad that wouldn't have been there had he been strangled.

Then an officer watched a wrestling tape, quickly realising that the marks on Daniel's body matched the application of a version the Crossface.
