Was Benoit's Son Really Sick?

Chris BenoutAmid reports that WWE wrestler Chris Benoit allegedly injected his son with hormones because of a health condition, Scott Ballard, District Attorney of Fayette County, Ga., just released this statement:

"There are additional reports that contradict the earlier information that suggested that Daniel Benoit may have suffered from Dwarf Syndrome or Fragile X Syndrome. Daniel's family denies that he suffered from either condition. As a result of the family's concerns, the Fayette County Sheriff's investigators and the District Attorney's Office have inquired into this matter. A source having access to certain of Daniel's medical reports reviewed those reports, and they do not mention any pre-existing mental or physical impairment. Reports from Daniel's educators likewise contradict the claims that Daniel was physically undersized. The educators report that Daniel graduated kindergarten and was prepared to enter the first grade on par with the other students."

16. Chris Benoit was mentally ill, bizarre version of MUNCHAUSEN SYNDROME.

That poor child! Dad playing Dr. Jeckly and injecting his son with human growth hormone

17. Benoit’s doctor was arrested. The cable news’ report is that the doctor prescribed 10 months of steroids every three weeks. If that is true, it could have been the meds—and he might have prescribed other serious narcotics. The tox reports will tell.

19. #7—I am sorry your life is hell on earth and I hope things get better for you. No one skates in this life—it takes work to be happy—keep trucking.

#11—I imagine you were speaking figuratively.

If Benoit was on enormous amounts of steroids and narcotics, he would have been psychotic and that does make his actions somewhat understandable. Of course, he is responsible for taking the drugs.

If there is a God, he will decide in the end.

I do feel sorrier for the child. He was a baby, didn’t get to live his life, and his last memory was of his father killing him. Of course, every life is important no matter what the person’s age.

22. What I find most amusing is that a killer like this gets reported in celebrity news forums.

He (nor any WWE/WWF whatever its being marketed under) are not celebs.

You guys just keep feeding their egos into believing it.

I don't want to justify his reasons, i'm just curious."

That has got to be, without any doubt whatsoever, the stupidest theory I have ever heard.

27. There is no evidence Benoit injected his son with anything or that his son was hanicapped.
