Chris Benoit

Born: 1967-05-21 - Died: 2007-06-24
Cause of Death:
Suicide

Death Summary: Chris Benoit spent his last weekend alive murdering his wife and his seven-year-old son. After apparently giving them both sedatives, he strangled them with a cord. He murdered his wife on Friday, his son on Saturday, and then on Sunday morning, he hanged himself in his basement with the cord from his weight machine.

Although the media was quick to point the finger at "roid rage" as the cause of Benoit's actions, it seems that brain damage is more likely the culprit. An analysis of Benoit's brain showed that it was in similar shape to several NFL players who had gotten concussions, lost it and behaved violently.

Benoit's brain also resembled that of an 85-year-old man with alzheimer's.

Who was Chris Benoit: Christopher Michael Benoit was a Canadian wrestler whose career was greatly celebrated by wresting fans, but whose reputation took a sharp u-turn over the course of a weekend once he murdered his family and killed himself.

He wrestled from 1985 to 2007 in the WCW, the WWF/WWE, and ECW sometimes using names like The Rabid Wolverine, The Crippler, and The Canadian Crippler. He won quite a few championships.

    R.I.P chris

    im 17 yo right and he was an amazing wrestler thats why people forgave him. and yeah he strangled his wife and son but really that was’nt his fult he was all f**ked up with drugs. and no whats “desgusting” “sick” its desgusting that a mans life is being spat on just cause of his last ever week-end. after all he done for the bussiness. and i dont care if you call me a sicko for seporting a murderer but the guy was amazing he was the sort of guy who would never actully do that(if you met him you would no that). so i blame the drugs and FYI i have thought through it alot and i mean alot but i have to much respect for the guy to spit on his grave(if he got one). and im proberl the only 17 year old that would proberly say that about him but its true. so say what you like bout this great man. but dont other saying he was a sicko. he proberly done more good in his life than any of you.

    see you down the road chris
