I saw this when it happened, I'm pretty interested in anything that happens in American sports and originally it looked like this was a steroid story of sorts. I just went back and re-read some thing and I still think this was a double-murder suicide. It makes sense to me. I find it too coincidental that Benoit had called Guerrero earlier in the day and said about his wife and child being sick and told a co-worker that his son or wife was vomitting blood. Then later in the day they were found suffocated. That's extremely coincidental to me.
Seems like his wife was drunk, making her easier to handle and suffocate. His son was drugged. He had already told the WWE that he would miss the event for "personal reasons" and a guy at their headquarters updated his wikipedia to say his wife died, and that was his personal reason. That's coincidental too but I don't think the WWE had anything to do with it, which is the only explanation for someone at the headquarters knowing. I really do think some guy just updated his Wiki and it happened to be true. It wasn't like he went into detail or anything or mentioned his son.
There isn't a clear motive, but Benoit's brain ended up looking like that of an 85 year old Alzheimer's victim. He probably wasn't in a good mental state. Maybe he was having marital problems. Nobody knows why it happened but the main reason I think it wasn't some sort of frame job or outside murder is that nothing was stolen.It would have to be an absolutely epic frame job to do something like this. No theft, death by suffocation instead of something quick like a gunshot. How would anyone subdue and hang Benoit? He wasn't drugged up or drunk or anything to my knowledge.
It seems open and shut to me, everything points to Benoit killing his family then committing suicide.
