What a tragedy - I hope that the police get to the bottom of this soon

If he did kills his family I feel for his fragile mental state and more so for the victims of this mental state

[Ruth*Star]

Yeah i hope they do too, i think after hearing this, any respect i had for the guy is gone, how could he kill a innocent 7 year old.

May not have had a fragile mental state - could have simply been roid rage. We'll find out when the toxicology tests are released I suppose.

Either way, it's a tragedy!

[Amy]

It is tragic. I'm really shocked that Chris did this.. but even with results.. I'm afraid to say we may probably never know why Chris really did this.

[Ruth*Star]

Its just confusing, that he seemed fine on Tuesday and something tipped him over the edge on the Friday.

On his memorial show they couldn't stress more the fact that he was a loving and doting husband and father... I'm going with roid rage

My dad loves me,jesus i hope he dosent kill me.

Im sorry,but i have NO sympathy for a killer,if indeed thats what he did.

The sad thing is, that Vince had to say sorry for airing a tribute show for him, all the work hes done as a wrestler, won't be recognized, he'll just be known as a man who killed his wife and son in cold blood.

[Sarah.]

I'm seriously upset and feeling so depressed about this whole situation i don't know what to do anymore. WWE are sickening how they can just wipe Benoit away like he never existed when he helped that business and carried such great passion for it. Nothing adds up with this case. I still think i'm having a bad nightmare and it will all go away like it never happened. It still hasn't sunk in that he's gone. The fact that he was such a loving father and how much passion he had for the business does not add up to a man who would go crazy and kill his wife and son. They said they found bibles next to the bodies, but why would a man who hates religion do this? Why would he not want to hide the bodies? I surely don't think he planned to kill himself. There are so many questions about this and I want the answers to them, I'm just so upset and i can't get over this.

Why is that sad,Killing a 7 year old automatically gives away any kudos you had in your job.

[Lauren]

Roid rage explains all these questions everyone has. Yes, he could very well have been a loving father and husband, but not loving enough to cut back on the steroids for their lives.

[Ruth*Star]

I meant its sad he had to say sorry for airing a tribute show, he shouldn't of had too, he never had the full information then.

the thing is,he had too,Im sure the childs grandparents,the wifes family etc dont want a killer having a tribute.

He may have been a loving father, but notloving enough to spare his child his life

Yeah good point. i think Nancys Family would have been upset.

The only thing that doesn't add up with the roid rage thing was the fact he was still in the right state of mind to text a wrestling buddy to ask him to look after his dogs? Surely if he was in a mad-rage he'd either i) have killed them, or ii) not cared whether they were looked after.

Though to be honest, the deaths were spread over 2-3 days, so the first one could have been roid rage. The second was his son as a result of killing his mum, then when in a clear state of mind texted his friend. It's just really weird, I don't think we'll ever get the full details.

Canadian female Pam Winthrope told News 1130 in Canada that Chris Benoit's son had a genetic condition called Fragile X syndrome.

According to WebMD, "Fragile X Syndrome is a defect of the X chromosome which causes mild mental retardation. The disorder occurs more frequently and severely among males than females. This condition is the leading known familial cause of mental retardation in the United States. Language delays, behavioral problems, autism or autistic-like behavior (including poor eye contact and hand-flapping), enlarged external genitalia (macroorchidism), large or prominent ears, hyperactivity, delayed motor development and/or poor sensory skills are among the wide range of symptoms associated with this disorder."

Winthrope, whose son also suffers from the condition, told the Canadian news outlet that her husband reached out to Benoit five years ago in an attempt to increase awareness about Fragile X.

She told News 1130, "We talked to him because I was trying to set up a support group in BC and in Canada, we only have a couple of them. My husband was struggling when we got diagnosed with our son, and Chris was struggling with his. They talked for a few minutes and then he said he didn't want to be a public face for Fragile X, he just wanted to keep it really, really quiet."

Winthrope noted that the lack of support for those affected by the disorder can tear families apart. Nonetheless, "she couldn't believe the news that Benoit had taken his life along with his wife and 7-year-old son," wrote News 1130.

This may explain why Daniel was taking growth hormone injections. It also may shed light onto why Chris didn't want someone else raising his son and made the fateful decision to kill him. As irrational and twisted as it may sound, he may have felt he was saving his son from the double-blow of losing his parents through a murder-suicide and being subject to being raised by people who didn't understand or care for his condition.

The only thing that I could think of about the text messages is that they happened after they had been killed and it was an attempt to get someone sent out to go and find the bodies.They were all meant to have been sent on 24/7 at after 3am.

Text Message 2 to two co-workers (sent 6/24 at 3:53am)- Chris Benoit’s cell phone
“The dogs are in the enclosed pool area. Garage side door is open”

You don't know it was roid rage yet... And saying he didn't love his child enough to spare his life.. that's wrong, you weren't there. i know i wasn't either, but seriously he loved his kid more than anything.

[Ruth*Star]

He loved his child enough to kill him in his SLEEP! he never knew it was coming, poor child.

It's not wrong to voice my opinion. It's wrong to kill a child.

[Sarah.]

This is not even worth it actually. I know what I know and my memory of Benoit will always remain positive. **** this.

[Lauren]

You've made your mind up regardless of what I say, I'm still entitled to an opinion. I don't know why you need to swear and go on with "**** this" ...

[Sarah.]

All i get is abuse for saying my opinion. Everyone I have spoken to about this seem to forget everything he has done and just remember the sin he committed, when no one fully knows WHY THE HELL he did it. It's just assumptions, and that pisses me off.

[Lauren]

Are you suggesting I've abused you??
Disagreeing with you isn't the same as abusing your opinion, you're entitled to it - just as I'm entitled to mine. I didn't even realise this was an "argument" until you started swearing??
