Chris Benoit, Another tragedy Options

Sad story of another fallen star

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chris_Benoit#Death

The tribute on TV last night was creepy. He and Eddie Guerrero (also deceased) were embracing at the end. Touching, but really really sad.

Extremely weird. One could imagine Benoit perhaps telling a friend what happened on the phone, and the friend trying to talk him out of more extreme behavior or something and thus not reporting it to police. That seems possible. But I can't imagine that same person would then go to wikipedia and update the info on it! It just seems totally biarre that someone out there could have known and not told autorities but was willing to update a wikipedia page. Unless Benoit ASKED him to do that....? Hmm....

Anyone, my personal theory on the whole thing is that Benoit's original intention was not to kill his whole family then himself. He killed his wife by "mistake" during a violent act or while in a rage. Then for a while he started trying to think of ways out of it. That's why he messages that his wife and son are sick, maybe food poisoned, trying to lay the groundwork for an excuse for their deaths. Then reality starts to hit that his plan to fake a food poisoning death can't possibly work, he realizes there's no way out, and he proceeds to kill his disabled son then finally himself. It still take him several hours then to find the "courage" (I use the term loosely) to kill himself after he kills his son. Anyway, that's my explanation for taking so long to commit the acts. Murder-suicide types don't normally do it this way. They themselves WANT to die, and feel they are doing the right thing by taking their family with them (f--ked up, I know). In this case I get the impression Benoit only ended up killing himself and his son after he realized the consequences that would come from killing his wife.

A sad, horrible end. When I watched wrestling, Benoit was perhas my favorite. It is so depressing to see someone you respected ruin himself and his legacy by doing something so dispicible and wrong.
