I am sorry to tell you that a wrestling star has left us. Chris Benoit (pronounced Ben-Wah) has passed away.

FAYETTEVILLE, Ga. - Details of the deaths of pro wrestler Chris Benoit,
his
wife and their 7-year-old son may seem "a little bizarre" when released
to
the public, a prosecutor said.
Authorities were investigating the deaths at a secluded Fayette County
home as
a murder-suicide and were not seeking any suspects outside the home.
Fayette County District Attorney Scott Ballard told The Atlanta
Journal-Constitution, "The details, when they come out, are going to
prove a
little bizarre."
Those details may emerge after the completion of autopsies scheduled for

Tuesday.
Investigators believe Benoit, (pronounced ben-WAH,) killed his wife and
son
over the weekend and then himself sometime Monday. The bodies were found

Monday afternoon in three different rooms of the house on Green Meadow
Lane,
in a subdivision off a gravel road about two miles from Whitewater
Country
Club.
The autopsies were scheduled to be done at the Georgia Bureau of
Investigation
Crime Lab in DeKalb County.
Ballard told The Associated Press a gun was not used in any of the
deaths. But
he declined to say how the three died.
"We're pretty sure we know, but we want to confirm it with the crime
lab,"
Ballard said early Tuesday.
Fayette County Coroner C.J. Mowell did not immediately return phone
calls. The
answering service for his funeral home said he was out of town.
World Wrestling Entertainment said on its Web site that it asked
authorities
to check on Benoit and his family after being alerted by friends who
received
"several curious text messages sent by Benoit early Sunday morning."
Pope said the three were found about 2:30 p.m., but he would release no
other
details about the deaths.
Stamford, Conn.-based WWE also said on its Web site it had further
information
on the deaths of Benoit, 40; his wife, Nancy, 43; and son, Daniel, but
had
been asked by authorities not to release it.
Benoit, a native of Canada, was born in Montreal. He was a former world
heavyweight champion, Intercontinental champion and held several
tag-team
titles over his career. He was known by several names including "The
Canadian
Crippler."
"WWE extends its sincerest thoughts and prayers to the Benoit family's
relatives and loved ones in this time of tragedy," the federation said
in a
statement on its Web site.
Benoit was scheduled to perform at the "Vengeance" pay-per-view event
Sunday
night in Houston, but was replaced at the last minute because of what
announcer Jim Ross called "personal reasons."
Benoit maintained a home in metro Atlanta from the time he wrestled for
the
defunct World Championship Wrestling.
The WWE canceled its live "Monday Night RAW" card in Corpus Christi,
Texas,
and USA Network aired a three-hour tribute to Benoit in place of the
scheduled wrestling telecast.
Benoit's wife managed several wrestlers and went by the stage name,
"Woman,"
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported.
They met when her then-husband drew up a script that had them involved
in a
relationship as part of an ongoing story line on World Championship
Wrestling, the newspaper said.
Benoit has two other children from a prior relationship.
