WWE is reporting that Chris Benoit, and his family, have been found dead at their home. Their is a photo of Benoit on the front page of WWE.com. Furthermore, all the stuff surrounding the faux McMahon death angle has been removed from the front page. This is not a joke. Here is WWE's message regarding this tragic news:

BENOIT FOUND DEAD

WWE is sad to report that Chris Benoit and his family have been found dead in their home. Police are currently investigating the circumstances surrounding the deaths. Tonight's Raw will be a tribute to Chris and his family.

REST IN PEACE
(May 21, 1967-June 24, 2007)

To be honest I don't trust WWE with this. I want to see a source other than WWE.com before I believe it.

I'm wondering the exact same thing....

This is pretty damn close to Vince's "Death".

If it's true I feel bad for his relatives I mean benoit's family AS well as him. I don't think wwe is lieing with this one it's on WrestleZone Now too;

http://www.wrestlezo...cleid=184817262

WWE isn't lieing Benoit is dead along with his wife and son, RIP Chris Benoit (Benoit will be missed and great entertainer and wrestler one the best ever.)

EDIT: You have to bare in mind when Vince died it was on TV, therefore a storyline this didn't happen on TV Benoit had to miss venageance for some family reason maybe it's related to his death. It could be a storyline, I remember when Eddie Guerrero died WrestleZone reported that it could of been a storyline. I have mixed feelings on this one.

We'll just have to wait and see what happens on Raw tonight.


24wrestling.com:

More On The Shocking Deaths Of Benoit, Wife, & Son

Story posted by Ryan Clark on June 25, 2007
As noted earlier, former WWE and WCW World champion Chris Benoit and his wife, former WCW and ECW personality Nancy "Woman" Benoit were both found dead today in Atlanta, Georgia. Benoit's son Daniel was also found dead.

Obviously this will be a huge developing story in the days to come but at this point, we'd like to express our deepest condolences to the Benoit's family, friends, and fans at this time.

WWE just told its talent and released on its web site that Chris Benoit was found dead by Atlanta police.

All plans for Raw tonight have been scrapped and they will do a show on the life of Benoit. As always we will be providing live play by play coverage of RAW as it happens tonight starting at 8PM EST.

If it's anything like the tribute to Eddie tonight then it's real. If it is real my condolences to the Benoit family and It's ******* sad that his wife and son are dead too.. Maybe it was planned murder?

This is absolutely devastating. I've had a horrible week, and this just makes it worse. Eddie got a lot of sympathy from me just because he died, I was a mark at the time, and hated him up until that day when the news broke. Benoit has been my favourite all around wrestler since I started watching WWE again (after giving up just after 'Mania X7); I remember my first wrestling moment after watching again being Benoit and Cena surviving at Survivor Series '03, then of Benoit coming so close to beating Lesnar for the title, and then how he won the Rumble and the World Title in something of a Cinderella story. I feel ready to die right now, thinking of all the times I'd cheered Benoit on absolutely kills me. If this is a work of any kind, the WWE has lost this fan.

When you hear about these things you just start hoping that someone heard something wrong and that the guy is really still alive. Benoit was an amazing wrestler, he was a great person, and he did a lot for wrestling. I don't know what else to say right now except that I'll miss him and it was honor to watch him wrestle.

(Now from TNA)


The following is from TNAWrestling.com:

TNA MOURNS THE LOSS OF CHRIS BENOIT

Everyone in the TNA family joins the entire wrestling world in mourning the untimely passing of Chris Benoit, his wife Nancy and their son Daniel.

Many TNA staff and stars worked closely with Chris throughout his career and we are all shocked and saddened to lose a friend and legendary competitor. Benoit was considered a consummate professional both in and out of the ring.

As details develop, those who knew and admired Chris are shocked and saddened to hear of he and his family's untimely passing.

Please keep Chris and the Benoit family in your thoughts and prayers during this time of tragedy.
