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.

61. I am in tears just thinking of this sweet and adorable little boy dying at the hands of his own Father! Not that I would wish death on anyone, but why did he have to kill his wife and little boy?! If he wanted to die (Which suicide is against my faith, so I am not advocating it) that is between him and God. He didn't have to take two innocent people with him. Also, from what I am reading about this case lately it seemed as if he was very sane when he did it, which makes it all the more disgusting to me! Insanity one can understand a bit more, not that it ever justifies a crime, but sane and doing this. It turns your stomach. I wonder if the WWE ever knew about his spousal abuse prior to this and just neglected to report it. That really should be investigated.

64. Dear Yeah,

Just because you're the only one willing to touch your shriveled peepee does not mean that women are the enemy.

Now, put the Big Gulp down, lift your fat ass of the computer chair and go learn some social skills so maybe you can make a friend or two, you poor lonely asshat.

65. Isn't it funny (not ha ha funny) how most kids of Wrestlers, Football players, etc have kids that are autistic. You know it's from the steroids, you would think people would see this and make a change.

66. So tragic ... such a beautiful little boy. He is with God now and will never suffer again like he did on Earth at the hands of his father. May he rest in peace. This has been so hard on my own 9 year old son. He doesn't understand how a father could do this to his little boy ... I don't either so how do you explain something you don't understand other than to say that he was must have been out of his mind at the time. So sad, this little boy is so beautiful.

68. Raquel, You were not in Benoits shoes. SHUT YOUR HOLE.

69. I agree with the earlier posts. No one knows what happened behind closed doors! I can not begin to imagine the pain of feeling that you have no alternative but to kill your own child and then prepare to take your own life! No one knows and will ever know what was in Chris's mind! We do know that 3 lives are now gone, but remember Chris has 2 other children and that Chris and Nancy leave behind families that loved them very much! Wishing Chris to hell is not changing anything. He will have to answer to God for his actions and he will decide the punishment! Sad thing is; this happens everyday but because Chris was on television and known to the public the story gets more press! i live in South Carolina; what about Susan Smith? What she did is no different except that she did not commit suicide! Instead she is in jail living off of my tax dollars!

Please let Chris, Nancy and Daniel rest in peace for the good of the family that they left behind that loves them no matter what! No more bashing Chris for his actions!!

72. I agree with all. This is a very sad event. I blame Mr. Benoit 100% for planning and killing his wife but more sickly his 7 year old son. I have a 3 year old and I could never imagine what that was like. Again, I blame him but I also blame the industry esecially Vince MvMahon for gaining money off of others tragedies.

73. Looks like the mother carried the gene for the disease.

Fathers can only pass the gene to a daughter via the X chromosome.

A mother can pass the gene to either son or daughter via the X chromosome.

75. How about honoring his wife and child with a tribute. A tribute for putting up with his steroid addiction.

To kill your own child with a CHOKEHOLD. Tribute my ASS!!! He'll get all the tribute he's got coming to him in the DEPTHS OF HELL.
