Benoit's Son Was Sedated When He Was Killed

Investigators have concluded that Chris Benoit sedated his seven-year-old son Daniel with Xanax before he killed him.

As for whether Daniel suffered from Fragile X Syndrome, as had been previously reported, no conclusion could be made. The Medical Examiner also said they could not perform tests for steroids or human growth hormones on Daniel because of a lack of urine available to do those tests.

18. This is such a sad story. I hope that the xanax was enough so that he just fell asleep and knew / felt nothing of whatever horrors happened at the Benoit house that day. The picture of him just breaks my heart.

19. The whole situation makes me sick. Not only did he muder his own little boy but now to find out he drugged him before he murdered him just seems so inhumanly evil. Forget the steroid crap frenzy the media is trying to portray.. This man was just simply pure and plain EVIL. Obviously drugging his wife and child was PREMEDITATED on his part before he killed them both. I hope he rots in HELL!!

21. It's so sad about this families tragedy.Please have respect for the remaining members of both families. Plenty of emotion must be going through their minds right now. I too am taking Xanax and it knocks me out. I don't feel my husband getting out of bed, the kids coming to wake us up etc. I bet this little boy had double of what I take....There could be many scenarios, but we can not say for sure what happened. It even states that in all the reports. This will forever be a mystery for everyone to cast their opinion on. Again, just respect the families close to this matter . Murder is a cowardly way as well as suicide.Blessings to the families.

24. the wwe didn't inject the steroids, didn't sedate daniel, didn't even order the steroids for him. the wwe said at THEIR testing, he had no steroids -- real drug users know how to avoid the tests. give me a break. just because i hand someone a gun, doesn't mean they ahve to use it. i wouldn't.

29. Trying again...Hmmm....i wonder if whomever gave him the moniker "The Rabid Wolverine" really THOUGHT he had rabies. His last actions kinda indicate somethin of the sort. *smh + snicka*

Evil AND selfish. He knew he was gonna kill himself after killin his wife, so i guess he killed his kid so that nobody else would raise him (the "if-i-can't-have-you-NOBODY-is-gonna-have-you" syndrome). Kinda sucks....

30. obviously this was a family in crisis,and because of his fame no one bothered to look at the family,the man, the wife,the child. All that was observed was Chris Benoit the wrestler,
the moneymaker for wwe
