From what I have read, it hasnt been confirmed yet. But it does look like a suicide/murder... Possibly with some sort of poison.
Pretty fucked up. That entire group is cursed...
Brett Hart (Injured, can never wrestle again. Runs the Calgary Hitmen now) Owen. RIP Bulldogg. RIP (married to a Hart sister) Brian Pillman. RIP (married to a Hart sister) Benoit. RIP
Pretty sure thats it... Pretty sure they all trained in Stu Harts dungeon in Calgary... Pretty fucked up.

I think the poison thing is because they mentioned toxicology reports being done, but that could also be to see if anyone involved had any drugs in their system that could maybe explain what happened.
It's still mainly speculation at this point, but it sounds like Benoit killed his wife and son over the weekend, and then himself on Monday. Again, I'm hearing different things from different people, but what I keep hearing time and again is that the wife and son were strangled and Benoit hanged himself. Again, this may or may not be true, as there are NO official statements released as of yet.
This will probably be covered in World News, but I live fairly close to where this happened (in Georgia) and I'll let you know if the local news releases info that the world-wide news doesn't pick up.
Here's what I've gathered so far:
Benoit was scheduled to do a house show on Saturday and the Vengeance PPV on Sunday. On Saturday he tells the WWE that he has to go home for a 'family emergency' and is excused from the house show. He then no-shows at the PPV (I haven't been watching WWE recently, but I'd imagine he was supposed to be in the World Heavyweight match for Cena's belt, and was replaced last-minute with Mick Foley... this is speculation on my part since I don't know what was booked and Foley is the only person on the card that looked out of place). At sometime on Sunday, Benoit text-messaged Chavo Guerrero a 'strange' message. Chavo got worried and told someone at the WWE, who got in contact with local authorities after Benoit didn't show up at the PPV. The police came to the residence and discovered the three bodies.
Evidently, a WWE wrestler (who was not named) said that something like this was 'bound to happen sooner or later' which leads me to believe that Benoit had some serious shit going on in his personal life. He supposedly kept to himself alot and only had a very small circle of people that he associated with (of which Chavo was one of them).
Anyways.... that's all I know at the moment and keep in mind that some of that up there is not verified at this time.

Or just living the american dream....what? I wonder if there will be a following like Tu-Pac had...thinking he's not really dead, and that he'll come back during Wrestlemania XXDCMXCIVIII4. The wife and kid were strangled? They weren't "crippler cross-faced"?

Chris Benoit Strangled Wife, Smothered Son, Hangs Self, Report Claims www.nationalledger.com/artman/publish/article_272614337.shtmlAs Grim alluded to, it looks like she drove him to do it somehow, not that there's anything anyone could do to justify what Chris did. His wife's wiki: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nancy_DausI never understood why he liked her really, she was always very annoying, not exactly good looking either. Hard to believe that she could drive someone so talented and successful to kill her, his kid and himself. There's so much more to life than any individual person.

I like their biography reports:
Woman met chris when her then husband (forget his name) wrote a script with those two getting romantically involved.

Well I just read a report on Reuters dating from today that said the Police department has yet to release information on the death. All though i'm betting its something like that... also the report of him hanging himself and strangling his wife.... " Chris Benoit strangled his wife on Saturday, and then smothered his son in his bed a day later on Sunday. The report comes from the newsroom at TMZ.Com." TMZ.com, which really isn't all that credible for serious news reporting... its a celebrity gossip site. not saying its untrue... just i'd like to see a report from some other news agency.
All though its probaly the case seeing as how "Benoit sent "several curious text messages" to friends early Sunday morning and this prompted authorities to check on Benoit and his family at their home, the statement said."
The reuters report published today 3:26pm
"IAMI (Reuters) - Professional wrestling superstar Chris Benoit was found dead along with his wife and 7-year-old son in what police believe was a murder-suicide, authorities said on Tuesday.
Benoit and his wife and young son were discovered on Monday afternoon inside their home in Fayetteville, Georgia, an Atlanta suburb.
Investigators have not disclosed how the three died but said they were not seeking any suspects outside the home where Benoit apparently took his own life after killing his wife and son.
"We are investigating it as a murder-suicide," said Sgt. Keith Whiteside of the Fayette County Sheriff's Department.
He declined to elaborate but said the determination was based on "things that were located at the house," where the bodies were found in three separate rooms.
Autopsies were scheduled Tuesday morning, Keith said, adding that toxicology reports were not expected for a week.
"Information is very slim right now due to the investigation," said Whiteside. "We're waiting on the autopsy results to come back before we do anything else."
Benoit's employer, World Wrestling Entertainment, said in a statement on its Web site that he canceled two events in Texas over the weekend, citing an undisclosed family emergency.
Benoit then sent "several curious text messages" to friends early Sunday morning and this prompted authorities to check on Benoit and his family at their home, the statement said.
Nicknamed "The Rabid Wolverine" and "The Canadian Crippler," Benoit was one of the leading international stars of professional wrestling.
He began his career in his native Canada more than 20 years ago and wrestled in Japan before moving back to North America."

It's all over the news now what I posted earlier, that's what went down according to the investigators. All that's left to know really is the motive, what made him snap, pushed him over the edge. The media has already started digging, and there's information about potential divorce, cruel treatment, etc. www.kxmb.com/News/138423.asp
