R.I.P.
Benoit and Son

This is the adorable child Chris Benoit suffocated before killing himself. This picture of Benoit and son Daniel was taken at a 2004 event honoring Chris.

Daniel Benoit suffered from Fragile X Syndrome, a chromosomal defect that causes autism-like behaviors, language delays and other physical/sensory problems, afflicting 1 in 3600 males and 1 in 4-6 thousand females.

31. It's like in Greek Mythology, Media's husband left her and she wanted to kill herself but couldn't bear to leave her children alone unprotected in the world, so, she killed them first. There must be a psychological name for this as it is more common than we think.

32. This makes me want to vomit. Why couldn't he just kill himself and let his family live a normal life. I'm not sure why tmz put the child's syndrome on there, but I wasn't thinking they did it out of a reason for why he did it. It sounds like it would have happened either way. It is just sick. How could a person physically suffocate their child? He's a friggin disgrace.

35. 34. stated " hormones found in the Benoit home were all obtained with valid precriptions

No they weren't legal prescriptions. Benoit is linked to an illegal mail order steroid ring in Orlando; with recepts and douments found that Benoit purchased them from this company. Also reciepts that this is likely were Benoit got the human growth hormone to inject his son. The child's pediatrician didn't RX the use of HGH.......Benoit took it upon himself to give the son the dangerous hormone.

36. #39 - Yeah ... I'm curious as to what site you think you are on?? This is TMZ a site where people post their thoughts, opinions and sometimes judgements. Are you one of those folks that don't think Chris did it or perhaps you are one of the folks that thinks we should be showing respect to a murdering SOB???

Hopefully the truth will come and what caused a man who had everything to take the life of his family.

38. For more information on fragile x syndrome please go to www.fragilex.org.

It was a horrible tragedy. Please try to take something positive from this and learn about the syndrome and support other families of special needs kids. Donations in the family's, or child's name would help other families get support.

39. The guy's a pro-wrestler. What else would you expect. No education. No class. No deceny. Takes hits to the head for a living.

I hope his son and wife rest in peace. I hope he's in HELL.

40. Hey Yeah #32,

Sounds like YOU are the next one to snap! HOW DARE YOU SAY THAT "HOPEFULLY YOU WILL BE NEXT" to the people/women that are expressing their opinions.

Is that a threat, wish or promise?

No wonder this kind of stuff happens with the NUTS we have out there. Damn scary!

41. 32. Yeah stated "I believe you women are just upset because he killed one of your own.
Your sympathy is transparent. Hopefully you will be next".

The type of comment that could only come from a pumped up neaderthal that drags his knuckles on the ground because he can't walk upright....sounds like the kind of thing only a nut would say

42. Again I think it needs to be pointed out that: YOU PEOPLE ARE IN NO POSITION TO SIT IN JUDGMENT. Just put on your strech pants, lay on the couch and wait for your husbands to get home. Take your boredom elsewhere.

43. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Everybodys brave on the internet.

Posted at 12:37PM on Jun 28th 2007 by Yeah

44. And take solice in the fact that it's the internet. You wouldnt be so mouthy in person. And yes. I would plant you.

45. #9 ( live it up) Please !!! you can't blame anybody but Benoit himself, he was the onily one that knew what was going on in his head. He could of been a little off or he could of been his completely regular self who knows but to point the finger else where or try to share the blame is rediculos!!!
