Well, it seems that Benoit is a quiet guy, so him not wanting his family to be the face of a disease isn't something drastic. But the fact that he wanted his son to be a normal/athletic by him putting in HGH into his son's arm, that probably tells something.
In addition the fact that his wife wanted a divorce, I guess Benoit got into a fight with his wife about the situation. I assume she probably was threatening divorce again, and with Benoit on "roid rage", I guess he finally went over the edge and killed her.
But its the rest I don't understand... he might have killed his son because he felt shame in him (not being normal?). And I guess, a day later he realized what he had done, and couldn't live with himself. So he sent the text messages about where to find the bodies and just hanged himself.
Regardless, none of it makes any sense unless "roid rage" had to have been in his system, causing him to react so drastically.

I was listening to Howard Stern today and Eric the Midget called in. I guess Eric is refusing to be on the show anymore for what Howard said about Benoit. Eric was defending him and almost his actions...Howard said, "You are a fucking nut Eric. Shame on you. Shame on you Eric, you fucking nut." I LOLed

im speculating on his thought process here but I think he felt that his family was a disappointment. Siring a son who is not worthy of ascending to the kingdom of Benoit and cursing the mother for spawning a child with retardation. Im guessing this thought process coupled with the debilating steroid and other unknown substances abuse drove him to the brink. The man was a self made success. Im guessing he was a bitter, tired, but stoic outsider on the fringe of society. Interesting that no one was really close to him and based on interviews he kept a distance from people. Perhaps he was so embarrassed about his son, that he kept people (and support elements/help) away.
The man ended his line. If you look outside the prison of societal constructs and infrastructure that surrounds the pitiful human existance that most suffer as "life".... in my view it was his right as Patriarch of his family. What I find disconcerning about this was the "reason" he made have done it....embarrassment? ego? pride? shame? A thin line between those and aforementioned hurbis related words and honor, integrity etc...
Either way (or anyway) he was a tremendous true blue old school wrestler.

[quote:d4f01]Wikinews has learned through an investigation that anonymous edits on the Wikipedia article Chris Benoit were added about the death of his wife Nancy Benoit 14 hours before police entered the Benoit home to find the former professional World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) Canadian wrestler and his family dead.
An anonymous edit from IP address 69.120.111.23 using the Internet service provider Optimum Online was made at 04:01 UTC on Chris Benoit's Wikipedia article. On a paragraph about an earlier fight: "However, Chris Benoit was replaced ... due to personal issues,...", the anonymous editor added " stemming from the death of his wife Nancy." The edit was reversed just under one hour later with the comment: "Need a reliable source. Saying that his wife died is a pretty big statement, you need to back it up with something."
Then just one hour later after the first edit reversion, another anonymous edit by 125.63.148.173 using unwiredAustralia.com.au, a wireless Internet service provider, was made adding about the aforementioned personal issues: "which according to several pro wrestling websites is attributed to the passing of Benoit's wife, Nancy." That edit was reverted just under 20 minutes later, with the comment: "Saying 'several pro wrestling websites' is still not reliable information."
Further investigation shows that the IP address used to make the first edit is located in Connecticut, but the IP address is not linked to any computers or servers used by the WWE. The second edit was made by a computer in Australia from a wireless network.
Fayette County Sheriff deputy Lt. Tommy Pope stated that police found the family at about 2:30 p.m. ET, which is 18:30 UTC, on Monday when the WWE called police and asked them to do a "welfare check" after employees of WWE received calls and text messages from Chris Benoit. Early Saturday, Benoit sent repeated text messages that read "My physical address is 130 Green Meadow Lane, Fayetteville Georgia. 30215." Another text message reportedly said "The dogs are in the enclosed pool area. Garage side door is open." The messages were sent around 4:00 a.m. ET.
Later, on Saturday afternoon, Chris Benoit placed a series of calls that explained why he missed his flight to Houston. The stories he told were mostly about his wife and son being sick with food poisoning and vomiting. Although, in one call he said that he and Nancy were at the hospital to be with Daniel who was hospitalized. Throughout he insisted that he would attend that live event in Houston.
When he missed the live event on Sunday, and the WWE couldn't get a hold of him, they contacted authorities. Police say that Benoit strangled his wife on Friday, smothered his son on late Friday or early Saturday, and then hanged himself inside his weight room on Sunday or Monday.
The Wikinews investigation is unable to conclude whether the anonymous editors had inside information about the death of Nancy Benoit.
This is not the first time Benoit's article has been edited to show false or unsourced information, as the article's edit history indicates a long history of promotional spam and vandalism. Around the time of the edits, the article contained a hidden warning to editors of the section mentioned, warning against adding rumours and speculations . For the time being, Benoit's article has been protected in an attempt to stop the addition of fraudulent information.[/quote:d4f01]

well, how would you explain this? Especially since Benoit was in Georgia (probably dead) by the time this edit was made in Connecticut. Too much to be a coincidence...

[quote:5d600]FOXNews.com also has learned, through widely posted Web reports, that former pro wrestler Sherri Martel, who was found dead on June 15, was linked to former wrestler Kevin Sullivan — ex-husband of Nancy Benoit.
Martel, who had a reputation as one of the top managers in pro wrestling, was found dead at her mother’s home in near Birmingham, Ala., on June 15. She was 49.
Investigators, who have not yet determined Martel's cause of death, say foul play is not suspected but that Martel did not die of natural causes.[/quote:5d600]
