Chris Benoit
Born: 1967-05-21 - Died: 2007-06-24Cause 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.

i watched your career from the start,you had so much going for you,i don’t know what happened ,but you will be missed by all of your fans.
I remember watching you wrestle on t.v. you were allright. What you did to your family is horrific and i am glad you hung yourself you pathetic piece of shit
Thats disgusting, you people support him after he murdered his wife AND KILLED HIS SEVEN YEAR OLD SON. HE STRANGLED HIS SON TO DEATH, KILLED HIM okay? think it through, i know most of you are 9 year olds, but think it through anyway.
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
THEIR WAS HELP. REST IN PEACE
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.
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.
I miss
any one that supports this heartless asshole is fucken stupid and probably should hang them selves as well.
just let the man rest in peace…..What he did, he paid for it by taking up his own life… we dont have the right to judge…Let the divine providence do it for him…

U SUCK DICK CHRIS BENOIT GOOD THING U DIED, AfTER U HIT ME WITH THT CHAIR IN WRESTLEMANIA 22, rest in peace bitch
u suck
BIG FAT COCK
what did you call me
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

Que enfermo!
Chris,I loved to watch you wrestle.You were damn good.What happened? Well only you and god will know the answer to that.May your soul rest in peace. Love you man!
You were a great wrestler, what happened. Only GOD can judge. May you Rest In Peace.
my god bring you pease to you and your family Ihope god has you all in his arm.
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.
THE BEST OF THE BEST.
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
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.
haha u suck
i liked your muscles but u didnt have arm pit hair, wheres ur hair!!! we like hairy men, haha.
I must say that I see you flying in the air and making people tap out God Speed Chris
You suck! Dumb as doper!
Chris Man I Looked Up To You. When You Was Wresterling I Would Just Stay At You Fighting. You Were One Of The Greats Of Your Generation. You Had So Much Going For You. I WILL NEVER FORGIVE YOU!
should have been aborted
you are the best i dont belive what happend
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!
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…
DJ The Viking…
all i can say is that it was a shock in every way
I worshiped you and after you went on steroids I felt like i hated you but i was wrong you were a amazing but i stil cant belive that you killed your family
the greatest pound 4 pound in ring wrestler in the world was is ans always will be “The Crippler”Christopher Michael Benoit the real BEST THERE WAS,IS,AND EVER WILL BE thank you for all you gave of yourself for us fans

This is a memorial, so people who leave disrespectful remarks are cowards and should shut their mouth. Think how his family must feel if they read your stupid hateful remarks and then imagine it was your family, and grow up. The one’s left behind have done nothing and for all anyone knows he might not have as the investigation was a complete sham. Think about his children who are left behind and his parents and show some compassion for them, for they are the one’s who have to read your cowardly and idiotic responses.
