From all accounts all was going well until Saturday when Benoit went off the road and headed back home. Nancy is murdered then.
The next day Daniel is murdered. Chris exchanges text messages with Chavo, the messages are described as being weird. Chavo informs WWE Suits. Who get in touch with local authorities to do a check.
Monday, local authorities go to the home and find all three bodies.
What the hell happened to Chris to bring this on?

Just watched a video on CNN.com, the lady that was reporting the story said that fans had been calling their affiliates for 2 weeks asking if Benoit was dead.
Uh, what? maybe she meant days?

Remember when Benoit took about 2 months off a year ago? Maybe that was the start of something.

She had to mean days as Benoit was on TV as recent as last Tuesday and was scheduled to face CM Punk, so that wouldn't make any sense at all if fans were asking about him for two weeks.

This is so sad, the way we think about Benoit has taken a complete 180 over the last 24 hours. We can no longer respect him as a wrestler and as a wonderful human. I personally won't be able to enjoy his matches anymore without thinking of him for what he's done. Just a heinous act with no excuse.

I just read the story on CNN.com.
Man, I'm saying this to EVERYBODY:
If you know anybody with problems or you have problems:
Seek help.
You guys have a good day, I'm out.

Above all else, I just want to know what's really truly going on. No more "maybe this" or "our reports say that"... Just "This is what happened, there ya go." so I can find some emotion about Benoit to stick to... Be it sadness or anger...

Pro wrestler Chris Benoit strangled his wife and smothered his son before hanging himself in his weight room, a law enforcement official close to the investigation told The Associated Press Tuesday.
The official spoke on the condition of anonymity.
Authorities also said they are investigating whether steroids may have been a factor in the deaths of Benoit, his wife and their 7-year-old son who were found dead in an apparent murder-suicide. -ESPN
...no. jesus christ.

Just "This is what happened, there ya go." so I can find some emotion about Benoit to stick to... Be it sadness or anger... It's not like they'll ever 100% be sure. But the police are saying it's most likely a double murder/ suicide That's enough for me and it disgusts me...... Benoit is a GREAT pro wrestler one of the best..... but that doesn't change what he has done

according to PWTorch.com, a major media outlet was sent an e-mail by someone claiming to be close to Benoit. The e-mail said that Benoit accidentally killed Nancy in a domestic argument, and he went into a panic. He ended up killing Daniel so that Daniel could be with his mom, and not grow up with his mother being dead and thinking of his father as a murderer. Again, this is something reported by PWTorch.com

I don't think I can watch the show tonight or wrestling in general any time soon. I don't blame WWE, Vince, or the wrestling business--I just don't want to be reminded of this situation. Thinking about it makes me nauseous.

ATLANTA JOURNAL-CONSTITUTION REVEALS MARTIAL ISSUES BETWEEN BENOITS INCLUDING 2003 DIVORCE FILING by Mike Johnson @ 12:50:00 PM on 6/26/2007
The Atlanta-Journal Constitution, while updating their coverage of the Benoit family tragedy, reported that Nancy Benoit filed for divorce and an order of protection in May 2003.
In the divorce petition, Nancy Benoit alleged that Chris Benoit, "lost his temper and threatened to strike the petitioner and cause extensive damage to the home and personal belongings of the parties, including furniture and furnishings. Petitioner is in reasonable fear for petitioner's own safety and that of the minor child."
A judge issued a restraining order against Benoit and barred him from entering the family home. Nancy Benoit asked the court to dismiss the petition in August of that year. The couple later reconciled, celebrating together in the ring following Benoit's WWE World championship win at Wrestlemania XX.
Autopsies in the deaths of The Benoits and their seven year old son Daniel are scheduled for today in Decatur, Georgia.
So it looks like this was brewing for some time now, very sad indeed.
EDIT: Beaten to the punch by MGH. This sucks a lot.
