Chris Benoit kills family and then himself

to0 · 06-27-2007, 06:35 AM

For those of you who don't know who Chris Benoit was, let me fill you in. He was a superstar of the WWE ( World Wrestling Entertainment ), and has been for many years. I grew up watching him and others ya know.

Heres the official writeup from WWE:

On Saturday, June 23, Chris Benoit was slated to appear at a WWE live event in Beaumont, Texas. That afternoon, Benoit contacted WWE to inform them that his wife and child were ill, and that he would not be able to attend the show.
WWE executives rebooked Benoit’s flight for the following morning, allowing Benoit to miss the Beaumont event making alternate arrangements for him to attend the pay-per-view event in Houston on Sunday.
WWE employees attempted to confirm with Benoit his travel plans but were unable to contact him.
Early Sunday morning, between 3:51 and 3:58 a.m., Benoit sent five text messages to co-workers:

Text Message 1 to two co-workers (sent 6/24 at 3:53 a.m.) - Chris Benoit’s cell phone
“My physical address is 130 Green Meadow Lane, Fayetteville Georgia. 30215”

Text Message 2 to two co-workers (sent 6/24 at 3:53 a.m.) - Chris Benoit’s cell phone
“The dogs are in the enclosed pool area. Garage side door is open”
Text Message 3 to two co-workers (sent 6/24 at 3:54 a.m.) - Nancy Benoit’s cell phone
“My physical address is 130 Green Meadow Lane.
Fayetteville Georgia. 30215”
Text Message 4 to two co-workers (sent 6/24 at 3:55 a.m.) - Nancy Benoit’s cell phone
“My physical address is 130 Green Meadow Lane.
Fayetteville Georgia. 30215"
Text Message 5 to one co-worker (sent 6/24 at 3:58 a.m.) - Nancy Benoit’s cell phone
“My address is 130 Green Meadow Lane. Fayetteville Georgia. 30215”

Throughout the day on Sunday, WWE made numerous attempts to contact Benoit both at home and at local hospitals in the Atlanta area. As of 11 p.m., WWE officials were unable to establish contact with Chris Benoit.
At 12:30 p.m. on Monday, June 25, WWE officials were notified of the text messages sent to the co-workers the previous day. By 12:45 p.m., WWE had contacted Fayette County Sheriff’s office requesting they check on the Benoit family.
Fayette County Sheriff's office made contact with WWE at approximately 4 p.m. advising that they had entered the house of Chris Benoit and found three deceased bodies – an adult male, adult female and a male child. WWE was told that Benoit’s home was now considered a major crime scene.
The decision to cancel the live event scheduled in Corpus Christi that night was made between 4 and 5 p.m. In keeping with company policy, and with limited knowledge regarding facts of the case, WWE choose to air a memorial dedicated to the career of Chris Benoit. As facts emerged surrounding the case, all tributes to Chris Benoit were removed both on-air and on WWE.com.

It has been reported that Chris Benoit smothered his 7 year old child, strangled his wife, and then proceeded to hang himself in his work out room, days after he had murdered his family. It's a sad thing to see something like this..

Yes this is sad, but weak people take anabolic androgenic steroids all the time, sometimes out of ego, sometimes out of greed, always out of stupidity. The human body simply wasn't designed to be molded like a piece of clay. This drug becomes very addictive. It causes Cirrhosis of the liver, atherosierosis and cancer and causes over 100,000 deaths in the US alone. When injected one risks the chances of developing hematoma and contracting AIDS. In women steroids contribute to the growth of facial hair, enlargements of the clitoris, shrinkage of the uterus, sterility, deepening of the voice, decreased breast size and irregularity of the menstrual cycle. In men steroids cause shrinkage of the testicles, decrease in sperm count, sterility, inability to get an erection, prostate enlargement and growth of female breast. Both sexes also suffer from extreme aggressive called "roid mania", constant nausea and vomiting, high blood pressure that damages the heart and blood vessels, combative behavior, aching joints, bacterial endocarditis, heart disease, stroke, extreme pain when urinating, paranoia, depression, listlessness and delusions. Steroids mentally destroy the brain and the ability to reason. There is no job worth taking them for, and they certainly aren't worth dying for

Another wrestler has just died

More than 60 wrestlers have died in the last 10 years. This organization needs to be investigated.

How do you get aids from anobolic steroids. Can you quote a source please?

Source? LOL

Pretty much any med student who has ever graduated med school. Steroids suppress your immune system and will affect blood cells in a very specific manner. If you or anyone you know ever need an organ transplant, they will carefully screen the donor for steroid use because it is well known that steroids and AIDS go hand in hand. You can read more about the procedure by reading; Diethelm AG, Stanley RJ, Robbin ML: InSabiston DC (ed): The Biological Basis of Modern Surgical Practice, 15th ed. Philadelphia, WB Saunders, 1997, pp 825-846. Steroids also promote hematomas which are a nidus for infection. Risk factors always include HIV/AIDS.

Ya, I can't believe he did that. He used to be a great wrestler.
