Um, I'm pretty sure Vince Mcmahon isn't really dead, that was fake.

These deaths are being investigated as a murder-suicide. They believe he may have killed his wife and child, then killed himself.

I dunno, i think Mr.McMahon isn't dead. But Chris Benoit killing people?! I can't believe that D=

That's sad. Investigators SUSPECT that happened... I won't believe it o_o

Just to add... there has been confirmation that there were steroids found at his home, so he may very well have experienced the depression or rage that is so often associated with steroid use.

If this incident impresses anything upon you Central, I hope it's that drugs can have very serious and dangerous side effects on people, and aren't worth the negative effects.

Quoted from WWE website:

However, WWE is concerned with the sensationalistic reporting and speculation being undertaken by some members of the media following the press conference held by the Fayette County Sheriff’s Department and the District Attorney. During the press conference, the investigating authorities made the following points, all of which run contrary to the media speculation that "roid rage" was a factor in the senseless murders and suicide:

1. The authorities stated that all drugs found in the house were believed to be legal prescriptions.

2. Steroids were not, and could not, be related to the cause of death (asphyxiation). Authorities had no factual basis to speculate as to Benoit’s state of mind, and rightly did not do so.

3. Toxicology tests have not even been completed, so there is no current evidence that Benoit even had steroids or any other substance in his body. In that regard, on the last test done on Benoit by WWE's independently administered drug testing program, done on April 10, 2007, Benoit tested negative.

4. The physical findings announced by authorities indicate deliberation, not rage. The wife's feet and hands were bound and she was asphyxiated, not beaten to death. By the account of the authorities, there were substantial periods of time between the death of the wife and the death of the son, again suggesting deliberate thought, not rage. The presence of a Bible by each is also not an act of rage.

5. WWE strongly suggests that it is entirely wrong for speculators to suggest that steroids had anything to do with these sens

Oh, and I trust the WWE....it is rotten with steriods. No steriiods don't cause asphyxiation. One of the side effects is mood instability and rage episodes similar to those found in manic staates in BiPolar Illness. THIS is easily correlated with the types of acts that occurreed inthis house.

Central Middle, if you learn ANYTHINg here...learn that performance enhancing drugs, written prescriptions not withstanding, are hugely bad for folks.

Central Middle,

Having once been a teen-aged girl (two days before God created dirt) I can completely understand your need to hang onto the good in Chris. I did the same with Rod Stewart in the 1970's... you older bloggers out there will know what I am talking about.

I am sure there were many good qualities he had, and you should remember that too. But the facts are piling up, and you need to hear them.

I don't think that even performing such horrible acts as these means he was a "horrible person," so that is something to hold on to. It sounds like he was, unfortunately, a very sick man, and just was not able to get the help he needed to get better before tragedy. It's a terrible shame things would play out this way.

You can bet that when these things happen the police are very dilligent about ruling out "foul play." There is a lot they can do to piece together a situation, and it's far from easy to "set up" a murder as an accidental death, because of things like DNA testing.
