IN another disturbing twist on the Chris Benoit killings, it now appears the grappler murdered his seven-year-old son using his own wrestling finishing hold.
Police in Georgia are speculating that Benoit ended young Daniel's life with the Crippler Crossface – the same move that he used in almost all his matches, including when he beat Triple H for the heavyweight title at WWE WrestleMania XX.
District Attorney Scott Ballard said: "A choke hold was used to strangle the boy, rather than hands, because there's no bruising consistent with strangulation by hands."

Oh my.
This story is a bad dream that keeps getting worse.
Really sad story. A lot of that lately.
For example.
Do you think he was trying to cut off the blood supply to the brain without crushing the windpipe?
I think that Benoit was suffering from Steroid abuse... it leads to violent behavior. Comparing him today to how he looked ten years ago shows that he has beefed up amazingly... and you don’t grow those type of muscles merely by weight lifting. He almost doubled his upper body musculature. He had to have been using steroids.
I have no doubt steroids played a part, but it can't be the sole cause, the whole thing was so methodical, over the course of 3 days, it seems thought out, I am wondering what else happened to him.
Other drugs? Concussions? etc.
Like what you say, or he may have gotten some negative news on a physical examination that might not bode well for his future career.
That opinion, info has been out there too.
Lord have mercy.
One of the side effects of long term Steroid abuse is homicidal and suicidal ideation... and it can get quite elaborate. Another is the lack of ability to perform sexually and atrophy of the male sexual organs...
ping - you’ve been following this one
Thanks.
Totally true.
I know people who use (and abuse steroids), I also think he had other problems added in conjunction.
This whole thing was way to planned out and thought out and done to step by step, I think it was more then just one drug (steroids, plus others) and other factors.
Long story short, he was a monster, but he was a monster with a whole lot of stuff in him, I got a feeling, his tox report is going to show alot of stuff he was taking, I just wonder if his head injuries also played a part.
Right like maybe painkillers too;
In fact, people get addicted to the painkillers and not just talking about the guy on the airwaves (Rush).
Famous RunnerUp to the 1981 NY Marathon Dick Beardsley got so addicted to painkillers; he’d use an old doctor’s prescription sheet, photocopy it and sign it fraudulently, trying to get the pills in this manner ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dick_Beardsley ).
If wrestlers are unregulated in many ways in the use of steroids; just think what these additional drugs can do in the mix of things.
Daddy,I can’t breath!!!
This guy just snapped.
Painkillers are probably a much bigger problem in wrestling than steroids have ever been. These guys get injured on a regular basis & often have to continue to work despite those injuries. This is said to be the main cause of Kerry Von Erich having his foot amputated. They have injuries & are pushed to keep going.
They will do everything they can to blame this on steroids. But I also think Chris just snapped. I believe he lost it & killed Nancy. Then he ended up having to make a decision & made the wrong one.
IMO steroids drove him insane.
hello-
yep - unless he was a dealer then he was putting a lot of that crap into his body. The reports I’ve heard are staggering amounts.
Stuff like this makes you wonder if there is a God. Why would he put a child through this?
Well, the evils of abortion is already in our society;
I commented in another Benoit thread; that many parents take care and love their disadvantaged children; and today, was this new thread; on the little girl injured in the swimming pool; http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1861149/posts
And then there are these other kinds of people.
I don’t know if that relates to your statement, but thought I’d post that.
Caption: Which one do you think uses steroids?
Why would anyone do this on purpose?
All of them.
Some more than others.
That’s just taking nasty to a whole ‘nother level. Doesn’t even look human.
One odd thing is to realize that they never get OUT of that body. How do they lie down to sleep? How do they even SIT?? What will happen to their bodies when they quit steroids?
SAD!
On this picture; the one on the right of the computer screen; you’d almost think this was a touched up picture; because would the skeleton also grow? And the neck?
Honestly, for the other two, I can imagine a strict exercise regimen and diet (and suntanning) could possibly give you such a body; they don’t look too abnormal (not too much).
I started cycling and it pumped my legs up.
The picture has to be a joke and the guy on the right is a touched up picture.
I’ve read enough muscle magazines, the guys who are all puffed up though; probably are taking the steroids.
I noticed the height thing, too.
I just don’t know anything about this kind of idiocy, so I’z jes’ postin’ what I’z seein’!
Chris Benoit’s toxicology report came back. He had a small amount of a painkiller in him, he had Xanax in him and he had a ton of testosterone in him but that is not anabolic steroid and cannot cause roid rage. They said that he had a chemical imbalance though and that could cause the paranoia some say he had and changes in his thoughts that may have made him believe that Nancy and Daniel were evil and had to be destroyed. Once he saw what he did, he had no choice but to take his own life. It’s a tragedy that all the accomplishments Chris had and he’s going to only be remembered for the slaughter of his family. Shame really.
