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.

  6. craig Says:

    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

  8. conny / germany Says:

    es gibt in jeder situation einen weg - man muß ihn nur finden!

    ich bin nicht berechtigt, dein handeln zu kritisieren, aber es ist -verdammtnochmal- nicht fair, jemanden, den man liebt seine chancen zu nehmen, weil man selbst für sich nicht mehr weiterweiß!
    ich bete zu gott und allen engeln, dass deine familie, die du mit dir genommen hast, nur deine liebe zu ihnen sieht und die kraft hat dir zu vergeben…

    ich sende dir ein warmes licht und ein liebevolles “rest in peace” …

    bye, c.

  9. Steve Says:

    Obveously the man was mentaly ill caused by his lifestyle ,and as long as people wan,t to see these pumped up fools pretending to be wrestlers this sort of thing is bound to happen the promotor of the circus he worked for should hang his head in shame as he made money out of the mans misery that caused 3 deaths.

  10. Destiny m.adams Says:

  17. chris benoit Says:

    what did you call me

  18. Humberto Alzamora Says:

    ummm lets see
    he was one of the greatest wrestlers of his era and of course he will be missed but i just cant fathom the fact that the police hurried in closing the case and didnt look into it much further
    if he was under the influence why wasn’t any b.a.l. in his blood.
    two. why didnt they look into his neighbor who was coincidently his wifes ex-husband also an ex-wrestler. three. the last show he taped was for ECW and in that show in his entrance to the ring you can surely see the worrie he had in his eyes. had he gotten threats previously?
    and lastly who in their right or wrong mind texts people with the wrong address of his house .
    plain and simple what i am trying to say is Chris Benoit was MURDERED the police need to re-open the investigation and clear Chris’s name
    he deserves to be in the hall of fame, he deserves to be remembered not as a butcher but a a hero
    We miss you Chris hope your with your friend Eddie
    Godspeed and may you rest.
    Viva la Raza. I’m 4 Real

  22. SAMANTHA LAMORIE Says:

    my god bring you pease to you and your family Ihope god has you all in his arm.

  23. Sam Says:

    Chris…you were a great wrestler I wasn’t a fan but you had technical skills! Hate the sin not the sinner…If you did that it was wrong really wrong. The evidence the police released points at you.

    However the Details of the case like the Wikipedia prediction of your wife and your death…and other details make me think otherwise thats why I simply can’t say you are guilty of murder, if your not guilty I pray that one day they find your killer.

  24. RONNIE D. ENGLEMAN Says:

    THE BEST OF THE BEST.

  25. Jacob Smith Says:

    All I have to say is, I hope you are rotting and burning in hell you spastic son of a bitch.

    RIP

    ROT IN PEACES

  26. Joshua Metzger Says:

    The measure of a man is what he does with his life. He can’t blame drugs, lots of people use drugs.He was strong . But when it come to being strong were it counted “the brain” He was lacking. He will pay in Hell for EVER. Rightfully so.R.I.H.

  32. grim Says:

  33. abdihafid Says:

    you are the best i dont belive what happend

  34. Steve Williams Says:

    Chris Benoit, you weren’t a very good wrestler. You were never a headliner, you were never a showstopper, you were boring to watch, and your interviews made me cover my ears, or mute the television. I was much better than you were.

    I never blame medications for anything I ever done. I seek help, or I withdraw — I don’t kill my family.

    Au Revoir, CB — hope you’re being judged fair and square by the ultimate court!

  35. DJ The Viking... Says:

    I’ll probably never check this again but…. didn’t any of you read where it said his brain resembled that of an 85 yr old man with alzheimer’s??? He probably killed his wife and kid and didn’t even know who they were. then he probably realized it later and killed himself… Just imagine the horror of realizing you killed your family. I met Chris in late “95″ he was a decent guy….. May you find the peace in your death that you never found in life Chris…
