Chris Benoit, family found dead

Written: June 25, 2007

STAMFORD, Conn., June 25, 2007 – World Wrestling Entertainment was informed today by authorities in Fayette County, Ga., that WWE Superstar Chris Benoit, his wife, Nancy, and his son were found dead in their home. Authorities are investigating, but no other details are available at this time.

Instead of its announced programming for tonight on USA Network, WWE will air a three-hour tribute to Chris Benoit.

Chris was beloved among his fellow Superstars, and was a favorite among WWE fans for his unbelievable athleticism and wrestling ability. He always took great pride in his performance, and always showed respect for the business he loved, for his peers and towards his fans. This is a terrible tragedy and an unbearable loss.

WWE extends its sincere condolences and prayers to the Benoit family and loved ones in this time of tragedy

Omg! So tragic, I was so shocked when I saw this on TV. Tonight was supposed to be the memorial service for a "dead" Vince McMahon's character but now it is a rememberance/tribute for Chris Benoit.

I can't believe Chris and his family are dead! I've read that Chris cancelled his match last night, and was unreachable today, that's when they decided to check out his home and that's how they found him and his family :(

It is all over the news about him killing his wife, his son and himself. So tragic, why would he do such a thing? I also heard him and his wife were arguing over their son, who suffers from some sort of illness.

This is so tragic that he would not only end his own life but the life of his son and wife.
