WWE Wrestler Chris Benoit and His Family Found Dead Today: Called in Yesterday Saying Family Was Very Sick

Chris Benoit
1967-2007

World Wrestling Entertainment broke the news tonight that former WWE Champion and superstar Chris Benoit, his wife, and his young son were found dead in their Atlanta-area home today.

Benoit had called in to the WWE office on Sunday, saying he and his family were very sick and were spitting up blood. Authorities were investigating the situation, but said that there was no evidence of violence. Those are just preliminary reports.

WWE canceled it's live show tonight and dedicated the entire broadcast to Benoit's memory. Benoit was trained by the legendary Stu Hart, father of WWE great Bret "the Hitman" Hart and the late Owen Hart, who died after a fall from the ceiling of Kemper Arena in Kansas City a few years ago.

Why do these guys die so young?

I'm a documentary film maker who was good friends with another tragic wrestling figure, Gentleman Chris Adams who was murdered a few years ago. You can see the preview of the film and gain some insight at the following address:
