61. The man was mentally ill to commit such an act, and we should be showing compassion to his extended family and friends, not judging him. When a person is in the grip of alcohol or drugs, he has lost control, and anything is possible. Let's leave the judgments behind and say a prayer for them.

62. let the family be,think about how your family would feel.no one know what went on in the house alot of whats been reported is falling apart the man loved his son and everone who knew him has said that,im not saying that if he did it ,it was right,but no one knows what he was thinking or what really happened,theres alot that we ae not being told out of investigations that are on going so until everything about the situation becomes public just leave it as it is,the more we go on about it the more the familys suffer,move on and thank god everyday for what you have

63. sheesh people...key word " allegedly" injected his son. It hasen't been proven that he did. I will remember Chris Benoit for what he did in the ring. Nobody will ever know what made him snap like he did. I do not condone what he did, but I will not be his judge or jury

64. In my opinion, I have not read anything that truly proves to me he killed his wife and child. So what about the text messages, those don't even prove he was the one that sent those messages. The police and media from day one have said he did this, but nothing was ever presented as evidence to show this to be true. What if the toxicology reports come out and they show they are negative? What then? If it turns out the police truly feel and can prove he killed them including himself, then just close the case and let it go. They are already dead. Let him rot in hell.

65. Where did anyone get the information Daniel had Fragile X syndrome?. Fragile X means the chromosomes have an extra x chromosome with a small tail hanging on rather than a full looking X. The signs and symptoms of fragile X are much like most of the mentally retarded men in this world... Large protuberant ears. jutting out chin and jaw, enlarged testes, especially at puberty , inability to speak or understand language.. The trait is usually carried by the female and it is inherited.
Now, if this boy did not have Fragile X syndrome, then why did people say that? Is the family in denial because it is inherited? What about Nancy's family? We only hear about Chris' family in Canada. Rose Young-Stewart

66. i think the text messages he was sending with the address over and over was a cry to the people he was calling that something was wrong in that house. we dont know that there wasnt a 4th person there and he was trying to get help there for his family, i think its odd he was fine friday afternoon and then send out all them messages to people who knew where he lived and kept telling them his address over and over, plus i think there is something odd about the page being altered before the deaths was discovered and it just happens to be a freak accident for one, and that the accident just happens in the same city of the people chris worked for and was sending the text messages too we will never know the truth of what happened in that home that weekend, but there is a possibliaty that this man that has always shown the world he was a loving father and family man was crying out for someone to come to his home because there was something wrong there, and there have been cases of murder that has been made to look like suicide before.i think it is sad for everyone.

67. That seems odd. My daughter just turned 6 and she is entering Grade one. She just completed Kindergarten. If he was 7, he should have been entering Grade 2.

68. I don't usually make comments on what I read most of the time I take things with a grain of salt, I have to hange my mind and tell this # 7 person that he or she has no idea of what a Jesus person would do or say (apparently they have never met Jesus). I can tell by their comments that they or really stupid or they have fried their brain on drugs, either way the comment is outragous. An adult most of the time has some warning of anger or danger and sometimes can protect theirselves from being hurt or killed a child is at the mercy of an adult, so in my eyes # 7 is saying they are worthles so just beat or drown or cook them in a microwave and no one will care. they are children that are brought in this world by adults and cannot remove theirselves from a bad situation.It sounds like someone needs to help # 7 understand what is really like to be a contributing person of any age to society. I wonder if # 7 is smart enough to realize that he was once a child, maybe he should have parents that did this to him while he was a leech before he became a contributing member of society. If this is all he has to contribute to society maybe he should just stop trying to contribute anything unless someone tells him he has something better to contribute. MeMe

69. I will never understand why someone harms a child. It makes no sense and never will. Nothing anyone says can make it better. I have an eight year old daughter along with three other children and I look at her and think of how helpless she is and I am the one who is protecting her. To think of the horriable thing he did to his son makes me sick. I just pray that god took him fast and that he had no clue it was his father harming him. I dont want his last thought to be was why is my daddy hurting me. Why why did he not send his son off to a friends and kill himself. What is the point in taking a childs life? It makes me sick. I hope the familys can find closure soon.

70. If anyone did their homework on the Benoit alleged "double murder suicide" (boy, isn't that a mouthful for the media to sell), it wouldn't take a rocket scientist to figure out that this was actually a "triple murder". Benoit cost someone their job in the wrestling industry two times AND got the spoils of war by marrying somebody's wife. Keep throwing the steroids issue up and continue to be deluded. It was a triple murder like the Owen Hart incident. For all you "wrestling buffs", go rent SummerSlam '98 and check out the "Kiss My Ass" Match between Hart and his murderer.

I personally believe that Benoit knew who did in Owen and was about to blow the whistle on EVERYTHING as far as the steroid case. in exchange for a possible pardon, he knew he could vindicate his fallen friend. That's why somebody did Chris Benoit in. This was a well-planned out scheme to sweep the dirt under the carpet. The problem with that was there's so much dirt under the carpet, someone is going to trip over the dirt and realize that it's all there..... right under the carpet!!

Hey Bret, it's all about to come out. The truth can never be silenced. Stay tuned and watch everyone. This was nothing more than a mob-style slaying that a 7 yr old child lost his life in. How sad! In the words of Phil Collins, "This is the world we live in and these are the hands were given. Use them and let's start trying to make it a place worth living in."

71. I always thought alot about Benoit. I thought he was one of the guys who got it honest, and I'll be the first to admit I was wrong. He's got to answer to a higher power for what he's done. Personally, I wouldn't pee on him if he was on fire; I'd grab another beer and toast him!

72. Ohio RN - I was 7 when I entered the 3rd grade. If people are starting their kids in Kindergarten at 6, that makes things pretty unbalanced, don't you think? Growth hormone does make children with stunted growth grow faster. so don't try telling us it's not for that. And people do often take it to look bigger, as in more muscular. Don't try to tell us you are some expert. Like other so-called "medical professionals" you are a pawn for the drug companies.

73. I have been watching the latest developments on the Chris Benoit case. My question is, why is his neighbor in hiding? Maybe someone else killed all 3 of them. Maybe Chris owed some big kingpin a lot of money and was unable to pay on time so they killed his wife and child in front of him, then killed him after letting him suffer long enough? Does anyone agree with me?

Daniel's age is not odd whatsoeverl. Many parents choose to wait until their children are six to enter their children in Kindergarden. Schooling is compulsory for all children in the United States, but the age range for which school attendance is required varies from state to state. Most children begin elementary education with kindergarten (usually five to six years old) .

I am surprised you did not know this, being that you are a parent.

I really wish people would stop insinuating that something was wrong with a this little chid, when that is not true.

75. 76,
I have thought that all along; maybe I'm crazy. What about any video surveillance? Don't wealthy people usually protect their homes that way?
