In tragic news out of Atlanta, Ga., Chris Benoit, his wife Nancy, and their son Daniel were all found dead in their homes today.
WWE Raw will be a tribute to Benoit. All previous plans for Raw have been scraped.
Daniel was their only child together. He was about seven years old. Says one friend: "Chris and Nancy were known to have a volatile relationship, but their son was the saving grace for both of them."
Benoit has another son from his previous marriage who is in Canada at this time.
Re: RIP Chris Benoit and family 1 Year, 4 Months ago
Absolutely shocking. There isn't much info on this side of the pond as yet, although there is a rumour suggesting that carbon monoxide poisoning may be involved. There is now a report on the website of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution quoting "officials" as saying the family "weren't shot to death".

It is my sad duty to inform everyone that it is now being classed as a double homicide/suicide. Nancy and Daniel both died over the weekend and then Chris took his own life yesterday, according to the police.
The WWE has given the police information relating about the investagation and the cause of death, but the Fayette Sheriff's department has requested that they (WWE) do not release anymore information at this time.
I dont know what to say about this, I guess Im still in a state of shock.
