Crippler's Tragedy

I turned on the news this morning and was shocked to learn that the “Canadian Crippler” Chris Benoit had allegedly committed a murder suicide, strangling his wife Nancy “Woman” Benoit and smothering his seven year old son Daniel. As a long time wrestling fan, I’ve followed Benoit’s career for over a decade and it’s hard to believe that his life ended in such a tragedy.

There is plenty of speculation that steroids may have played a role in the murder suicide. Early reports indicate that steroids were found at the Benoit home along with other legal prescriptions. Toxicology reports of Benoit will not be available for several weeks.

My thoughts and prayers go out to the Benoit family and all his fans.

Wonder Bread reports that prior to authorities finding the bodies of Chris, Nancy, and Daniel, Beniot's wikipedia page announced that Beniot missed two WWE events due to the death of his wife.

This is interesting because the report was given prior to the bodies being found.
