Just posted this for anyone to see since he passed away recently.

He did not "pass away".

He murdered his wife and his own child (strangled his wife and smothered his 7 year old little boy). Then hung himself a day or so later.

Frankly, I'm appalled that people actually commented stuff like "RIP" and "God Bless You" on those links. That is truly disgusting for anyone to say such a thing about a person who murdered his own family.

Rest in Peace? - I highly doubt that.

deschain - That made me laugh.

Yea. The guy had issues. He is definitely not to be commended. I agree fully.

Whether it is true or not...right away there was questions of 'Roid Rage' becuase they found steroids in his house.

Such a tragedy

Does anyone actually have the confirmed story? I heard his wife murdered their son, he killed his wife, then hung himself.

What ever happened to 'innocent until proven guilty'?

I'll wait till the investigation is completed.

Yeah. That whole story makes me sick to my stomach. How do people go so wrong? What drives one to do something like that? Whew...

I'm suprised nobody posted about this sooner. I couldn't believe this story when i read about it, absolutely shocking news and of course, i'd like to believe that someone set this up and Benoit had nothing to do with it but all the evidence points directly at him. It's just bizarre that something like this would happen.

This is proof positive that we don't really know the celebrities we see. Sometimes it can feel as if we do know who they really are, but we don't.

The fans of his wrestling character (and they are characters) are probably going to try and believe that it isn't true, or that it's some conspiracy, much like how many of the fans of Kurt Cobain swear to this day it was Courtney Love that did it.

Assuming it is shown to be related to roid rage, I wonder how that will be perceived by the overall public? Will it be seen as a tragic side effect to a dangerous drug or will it be seen as a deliberate act of evil?

rot in pieces. what an asshole

Being that nobody can "rage" for a day or 2. The link to steroid use is a reach as it is. Thy guy clearly had problems and this needs to be viewed as a deliberate act of evil.

That being said, "roid rage" will be played by the media because it is easier to blame a substance than a person, and people do not want to believe that a "non drugged up" person could do those things.

I am not jumpong to wrong conclusion here but I think he killed the other part of me says , why would he do it? He led a awesome life. Ahh well there are parts of his life we'll never now about...

This is really sad, he used to be my favourite wrestler after Guerro.

I used to be a big fan of wwe when I was in middle school He was one of my favorite characters. He was the typical good guy that got screwed all the time and then finnally triumphs to win the belt. I remember a show when he had his wife and his son on stage with him.

This is surprising. When I first saw this on yahoo.com I was shocked.

How would you know if he led an awesome life

Well, judging from his behavior and good personality on WWE.
