Very poor timing considering last week Vince McMahon did a very lame publicity stunt in which he faked his own death.

Wrestling Superstar Found Dead
Posted Jun 25th 2007 6:51PM by TMZ Staff
Filed under: TV, R.I.P.
No further details regarding the tragedy have been released. Benoit was scheduled to appear at a pay-per-view event last night ... WWE said that there was a "family emergency" that prevented him from being there.
Benoit, a former World Heavyweight Champ, wreaked havoc with his signature move, the "Crippler Crossface."
The incident comes on the heels of the shocking death of former WWE wrestler "Sensational" Sherri Martel, and the supposed "assassination" of WWE head honcho Vince McMahon. TMZ has learned that the WWE is scrapping all references to the McMahon death storyline on tonight's episode of "Raw.'
According to the official WWE website, tonight's "Raw" will serve as a tribute to the wrestling great.
Police are investigating the incident.

This is a real shock. I wish there were more details. Hearing that Benoit and his wife are dead is bad enough without hearing about their 7 year old son, that is truly tragic. Prayers go out to the Benoit family. He was an amazing wrestler and was one who actually had some technical skill and was not just a Hogan-esgue showman. Seems more and more of these guys are dying before they hit 50 and dying suddenly. I know that steroids and other drugs have been causes, but I am going to hold of judgement in this case until I hear a COD.
EDIT: Now that we know what happened, Fuck you Chris Benoit, rot in hell.
