WWE wrestler Chris Benoit, his wife and son were found dead Monday, and police said they were investigating the deaths as a murder-suicide.
This is so so very sad. I can just guess that he was either on soemthing or depressed. IT pains me to know end that not only is he gone, as I enjoyed his performances, but that his wife and son paid the price as well.
My heart and soul go out to his and their families and to fans of the WWE as I am as well.

Here's the story...
FAYETTEVILLE, Ga. (AP) -- Pro wrestler Chris Benoit strangled his wife and smothered his son before hanging himself in his weight room, a law enforcement official close to the investigation told The Associated Press on Tuesday.
Authorities also said they are investigating whether steroids may have been a factor in the deaths of Benoit, his wife and their 7-year-old son. Steroid abuse has been linked to depression, paranoia, and aggressive behavior or angry outbursts known as "roid rage."
"We don't know yet. That's one of the things we'll be looking at," said Fayette County District Attorney Scott Ballard. He said test results may not be back for weeks.
Autopsies were scheduled Tuesday by the Georgia Bureau of Investigation.
Authorities were investigating the deaths at a secluded Fayette County home as a murder-suicide and were not seeking any suspects. The official who described the manner of death spoke on the condition of anonymity because the information was to be released at a news conference later Tuesday.
Investigators believe Benoit (pronounced ben-WAH) killed his wife, 43-year-old Nancy, and son Daniel during the weekend and then himself Monday. The bodies were found Monday afternoon in three separate rooms of the house, off a gravel road about two miles from the Whitewater Country Club.
Fayette County Coroner C.J. Mowell did not return calls seeking comment. The answering service for his funeral home said he was out of town.
Asked about the condition of the interior of the house, sheriff's Sgt. Keith Whiteside said investigators found "nothing really out of the ordinary." He said Benoit was found in the home's weight room, his wife in an office and the son in an upstairs bedroom.

He and his family lived in the same community as me and my family, ate at the same pizza place, shopped in the same grocery store... By all accounts, he was a really good guy who will be missed.

I didn't know him, but he had to be pretty sick to do what he apparently did. It always easy to come down hard on a dead guy because he can't defend himself. Substance abusers do all kinds of horrible things based on their skewed perspectives of the world. Unfortunately, they usually have to do something horrible to someone else before anyone gets really upset about the substance abuse.

Does anyone know for sure, was he consistently juicing to get as big as he was and maintain it?

There is no defense for what he did whether he is dead now or still alive. As for the media blaming substance abuse, that is a crock. There are thousands of steriod abusers but they are not killing their families. Steriods may have helped push him toward that path but he is the one that walked down it. Sustance abuse is not to blame, he is.
ecle5c - he had used steriods in the past and was probably still doing them. The wrestlers get by the steriods being ILLEGAL by having doctors prescribed them to them so they will be LEGAL prescriptions. The WWE stated that he pased their drub test in April but it is the WWE
