I found out about Benoit online. I'll never forget the sense of shock from people on here (and other forums) when the first AP article came out which said the police thought Benoit had killed his family.

Yeah, I can remember when that news first started to break, right at the end of Raw. I just couldn't believe it.

Owen - By watching the PPV.
Benoit - I remember checking PWInsider for Vengeance results, and there was a small news item that Benoit had missed the show due to a "family emergency." I didn't think much of it at that point, other than "gee, hope everything's OK."
About 10 minutes before RAW, I went to wwe.com and saw the headline: Benoit Family Dead. My dad called me during the tribute show to see if I knew about it, and that was the first time I heard about the authorities calling it a murder-suicide.

Eddie and Owen were so much sadder.
Benoit's you could only really get unhappy about before you knew the details. Then people were just angry.

Owen: I first found out when I was watching sports highlights on The Score (Canadian sports channel) the morning after the PPV. They flashed the announcement of his death on the ticker on the bottom of the screen.
Eddie: First found out on Lordsofpain.net
Benoit: A friend on MSN messaged me, asking if I heard what happened to Benoit. I went to WWE.com to find out what happened, and that's how I found out that Benoit was dead.
