Canadian Crippler Kills Family, Then Self
I really don’t understand why people do this…
Details of the deaths of pro wrestler Chris Benoit, his wife and their 7-year-old son may seem “a little bizarre” when released to the public, a prosecutor said.
Authorities were investigating the deaths at a secluded Fayette County home as a murder-suicide and were not seeking any suspects outside the home.
Fayette County District Attorney Scott Ballard told The Atlanta Journal-Constitution, “The details, when they come out, are going to prove a little bizarre.”
Those details may emerge after the completion of autopsies scheduled for Tuesday.
Investigators believe Benoit, (pronounced ben-WAH,) killed his wife and son over the weekend and then himself sometime Monday. The bodies were found Monday afternoon in three different rooms of the house on Green Meadow Lane, in a subdivision off a gravel road about two miles from Whitewater Country Club.
The autopsies were scheduled to be done at the Georgia Bureau of Investigation Crime Lab in DeKalb County.
Ballard told The Associated Press a gun was not used in any of the deaths. But he declined to say how the three died.
“We’re pretty sure we know, but we want to confirm it with the crime lab,” Ballard said early Tuesday.
Jesus Christ, Chris. If you’re gonna off yourself, do the world a favor and off yourself, but why take your family with you?
It’s going to be interesting to see what the bizarre part of this whole thing is.
Man, I hate stories like this. There’s always some innocent kid in the middle of it.
