Sad news--RIP Chris Benoit

Unbelievable news. One of my and S's favorite wrestlers, Chris Benoit, is dead. Poor S is really bummed out and I am shocked. We spend a lot of hours watching wrestling, as you know. I was at the Sheriff's mtg. last night when S texted me the news, and I had to text it to Mudflap who was across the room. S said they didn't know how he died, but that he, his wife, and child were all dead. After the meeting I called S and he said it wasn't a car accident but that's all he knew. I said then it either had to be something like carbon monoxide poisoning in their house--although carbon monoxide poisoning in the summer in Atlanta seemed unlikely--or it was a murder-suicide. There's only 4 ways to die and natural causes wouldn't have taken all 3 of them. When I told Mudflap my theories he asked why would Benoit kill his wife and kid and I asked why is he assuming it was Benoit? If there's one thing I've learned lately it's that women are evil too and look at Phil Hartman, whose wife took him out!

After Mudflap, D., and Sgt. and I went to eat I gave Mudflap the assignment of doing some research on the Internet. Mudflap then called me and S and told me I was right: murder-suicide. But it does appear to be Benoit that did it. Sad, sad, sad. Although the next thing I said was then why is WWE doing a whole tribute to a murderer?!?

So now I've got my detective hat on, although I guess I've always got it on. Some people think he snapped due to steroid use, but I don't know about that. It seems he had plenty of time alone to deal with what he did before he killed himself. You don't take 2-3 days to "snap."
