FAYETTEVILLE, Ga. — Pro wrestler Chris Benoit canceled a pay-per-view appearance at the "Vengeance" event in Houston because of "personal reasons" a day before he, his wife and their 7-year-old son were found dead in an apparent murder-suicide.
Details of the deaths "are going to prove a little bizarre" when released to the public, Fayette County District Attorney Scott Ballard told the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. Autopsies were scheduled Tuesday by the Georgia Bureau of Investigation in DeKalb County.
Authorities were investigating the deaths at a secluded Fayette County home as a murder-suicide and were not seeking any suspects.
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 the Whitewater Country Club. READ MORE HERE

Another one of Nicklaus' favorite wrestlers gone. First it was EDDIE GUERRERO, who died of heart disease, and now Chris Benoit who appears to have killed his family and then sat around the house for a day or two with the bodies and then took himself out. How do you explain all of this to an 11 year old? Dear God, I hope nothing happens to John Cena. He is the numero uno wrestling god...in my eyes and well as the kidz. I hope that the Benoit family is at peace and those close to Chris, if indeed he did do this, find a way to work through the anger and remember the love they have for him. I am interested in the bizarre part....there are all kinds of rumors swirling about. But, I'll wait until the officials release the cause/reason. I just don't understand the world, what would make someone do that? I suppose, "Ours is not to question why....."
