What benoit did was terrible but you all got to remember that these were the actions of a coward,I don't care what excuse people wanna use cause they are all crap. He snuffed the lives of daniel and nancy,and I hope he's burning the seventh circle of damnation.

It is sick and tragic what Benoit did YES... no question... He was sick and wasnt being treated. As a society we feel bad when soemone dies from untreated Diabetes etc. or we accept when soemone needs treatment for Depression sometimes.. if we arent stigmatized. We need to be shocked and saddened as much about how sick he was Obviosuly, and how isolated the family was if nobody caught on there had to be signs of soemthing being terribly wrong with him. In his interactions etc. Sad..and tagic and sick and yes twisted but if we look at the relaity part of it, man his doctors failed him if they had even a clue....he was sick and denial and anger can be all too much too fast without treatment..obviously.

I understand how everyone vilifies the actions of Chris Benoit. However, it has been shown through autopsy results and close examination of his brain matter that he had suffered considerable brain damage from years of head trauma and concussions. His own father has spoken to the media about how his son's mental state deteriorated rapidly during the last few years of his life. Blame Vince McMahon!!!

I agree about the Von Erichs!! They were my favorite in the 80's and since 3 out of the 4 were suicides, you'd think they would have included them. Guess someone didn't do there research on this job very well.....Disappointing~~

I'm surprised they didn't mention the Von Erich brothers. All of them were wrestlers and four of them died three from suicide.

say what u will.. benoit was obviously a fucked up individual. I dont condone what he did , but I also can realize the realization that h ewas in an different state of mind (not that tis is an excuse) so how could someone expect a sane outcome to his insania? ANYONE who kills is a fuckin lunatic. wouldnt they have to be? that is the ultimate crime against humanity. He did the right thing and took himself out of society also.Steroids had nothing to do with it, He was making $650,000 a year salary not including merchandise. SOMETIMES PEOPLE JUST SNAP .....GET OVEr it
