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.

47. #48 - From the comments written you are the only one who has been "mouthy" and hiding behind the computer. You're the one who is attacking posters on this site .... perhaps you should put down the doughnut and take a time out from your internet life and go get some fresh air :)

48. 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

52. Nobody's excusing what Benoit did....do any of you who are saying that TMZ, or any other news site are excusing his behavior even READ the articles posted?? His son had a medical condition that caused friction in the relationship between Benoit and wife Nancy. That is a fact widely reported! Not one news site that I have read that on has said that that is an excuse for him killing his family...they are simply stating that it was a hardship in their marriage. Read what you want into all the news reports. Nobody has said it is an excuse.

53. For one, yes I think it's a terrible tragedy that this happened the way that it did. But something about all of the "evidence" that they're releasing to the public doesn't sit so well with me. It seems like something is missing. A valuable piece of information. For some reason, I really don't think things are adding up correctly. I've heard about roid rage,

Yes it's terrible that this happened, yes its even worse that the life of a child was taken. but somethings just not adding up for me. I have that feeling in my gut. Sorry if you don't agree with my opinion

54. This is such a tragedy....but why he committed these horibble acts is what needs to focused on. "Roid Rage", is very real, I dated someone for 4yrs that used steriods, and all I can say is that you have to experience it first hand to believe how vicious these "rages" can be. Especially when alcohol or other drugs are used. I can't express to you the danger of the "rage" mentality, I watched "Ben" ( gotta use a fake name), completely change before my eyes. His eyes were hollow, like he knew nothing about what was going on, he developed incredible strength, once he pulled road sighns straight out of the ground one by one very methodically, yet he was absolutey detached from reality. I was beaten for yrs before I left him, and it was very hard because he was very sweet and smart and funny until he became a steriod monster. Maybe this will be the wake up call that this country needs to open their eyes to the devestating effects of steriod use. Im praying for the family and I only wish that it had not come to this, that someone would've gotten help for him, or at least restrained him from his wife and son. His doctor should be banned from practicing medicine, there is no way he couldn't see this coming. Rest In Peace, I pray that this family has not died in vain.

55. i agree with satsuma to a point. nobody else can be blamed for this tradgedy, however if benoit had mental problems or severe depression he may not necessarily be totally blame himself. i am not trying to defend him or his actions but it is impossible to know what goes through someones head to do such a terrible thing to ones own family. If someone is suffering from mental problems they may not realise themselves until after an event happens, which in many cases is far, far too late.

56. THIS IS ABSOLUTELY DISGUSTING!!!!! WHY ARE WE GIVING THIS GUY PUBLICITY AFTER THE AWFUL, I MEAN AWFUL THINGS HE'S DONE?!?!?!?!?! I HAVE A SON ABOUT THE SAME AGE, AND THIS IS DOING NOTHING BUT HURTING ME AND MANY OTHER PEOPLE I KNOW. PLEASE TMZ, DONT TALK ABOUT THIS JERK, NON-FATHER, PSYCHO, EVER AGAIN. PEOPLE HAVE PROBLEMS, BUT THIS BASTARD KILLED HIS OWN SON, ABSOLUTELY NO DAMN EXCUSE FOR THAT. FORGET HE EVER EXISTED, PLEASE!
