That was my initial thought. But from what I am hearing, sounds like a homicide?

I don't think anyone will know until the autopsies come out. Given that there aren't any obvious signs of struggle/knifing/shooting, anything beyond that is possible.

WWE: Homepage

It has been ruled that the deaths of Chris Benoit, his wife Nancy and their son Daniel earlier today were the result of a double murder-suicide from within the home. WWE.com will have more as soon as it becomes available.

What kind of selfish, ignorant motherfucker would kill their own child? I'm assuming they don't know who was the murderer and who was the victim yet.

MyFox Atlanta | Wrestler Chris Benoit, Wife and Child Found Dead

FAYETTEVILLE, Ga. (AP) -- WWE wrestler Chris Benoit, his wife, and son were found dead Monday and police said they were investigating the deaths as a murder-suicide.

Detective Bo Turner told television station WAGA that the case was being treated as a murder-suicide, but said that couldn't be confirmed until evidence was examined by a crime lab.

The station said that investigators believe the 40-year-old Benoit killed his wife, Nancy, and 7-year-old son, Daniel, over the weekend, then himself on Monday. A neighbor called police, and the bodies were found in three rooms.

Considering it's being investigates as a murder-suicide, with the plausible perpetrator being Chris Benoit, it's a little....dunno, odd/weird that the whole front page of wwe.com is all tribute stuff to him.

I'm not saying he wasn't a good man, good at what he did, wasn't a good friend, or anything, but if it turns out he killed his own kid and wife the tributes turn creepy. At least to me. :(

For anybody that doesn't follow wrestling, or hasn't in a long time like me, this isn't some random wrestler. This was one of the most revered wrestlers of all-time. He wasn't a huge name like Hulk Hogan, Ric Flair or The Rock, but he was a big name and considered one of the best ever in that buisness. Wow.

It is sounding more and more like he may have killed his wife and child, then took his own life sometime Monday. Truely a sad story, as to what pushes someone to the point where they feel they need to do something like this.

WWE: TV Shows > ECW > Superstars > Chris Benoit > Articles > Benoit's death part of a double murder-suicide
Benoit failed to appear both at Saturday?s live event in Beaumont, Tx., and WWE?s Vengeance: Night of Champions in Houston Sunday night, after informing WWE of a family emergency. Several curious text messages sent by Benoit early Sunday morning prompted concerned friends to alert Richard Hering, VP of Government Relations for WWE, Inc. Hering, in turn, spoke with Fayette County sheriffs Monday, and requested that they respond to the Benoit residence to check on him and his family

everyone is so quick to assume that it was chris that killed his wife and kid. But did anyone stop to think the kid might have killed mom and dad then killed himself.

Initial reports place the times of death of mom and son over the weekend with Benoit being on Monday.
