Here is PW Torch Take A woman tells News 1130 in Vancouver, B.C. that Chris Benoit's son Daniel had a condition called Fragile X syndrome. Wikipedia describes the symptoms: Aside from intellectual disability (mental retardation), prominent characteristics of the syndrome include an elongated face, large or protruding ears, flat feet, larger testicals in men (macroorchidism), and low muscle tone. Behavioral characteristics may include stereotypic movements (e.g., hand-flapping) and atypical social development, particularly shyness and limited eye contact. Some individuals with the fragile X syndrome also meet the diagnostic criteria for autism. While full mutation males tend to present with severe intellectual disability, the symptomology of full mutation females runs the gamut of minimally affected to severe intellectual disability, which may explain why females are underdiagnosed relative to males. The woman interviewed for the News 1130 story says her family was in contact with the Benoits, but they didn't want to go public with the disease and chose to keep things low profile. She added that families can be torn apart by the disease because it's very difficult to find help and support. She said, "You as a parent have to go out there and find what's available and it's not easy --they don't tell you." W.K. Analysis: This may explain why Daniel was taking growth hormone injections. It also may shed light onto why Chris didn't want someone else raising his son and made the fateful decision to kill him. As irrrational and twisted as it may sound, he may have felt he was saving his son from the double-blow of losing his parents through a murder-suicide and being subject to being raised by people who didn't understand or care for his condition. While in no way justifying his actions, the belief that his son was in for a difficult life as it was, and now one without his parents, might have been Benoit's self-justification for his heinous act.

QUOTE(Gregory Pratt @ Jun 26, 2007 -> 12:33 AM) Georgia police. The Assistant District Attorney. Can't find the exact quote, Mr. > but it was basically, "The details of this are going to be very bizarre," from the assistant DA and yes, from a good Atlanta source. Also, this is leaking around: This is one persons report from TMZ, so it could be false considering the source... 464. My second cousin is an officer with GBI (Georgia Bureau of Investigations) and what he's heard in his circle is that Chirs Benoit's wife killed their son Daniel, called Chris and told him to rush home because of an emergency which is why he missed last Sunday's Vengeance PPV. Upon arriving home Benoit killed his wife in a rage for the death of his son and then killed himself Monday morning. His wife's body was found in the master bedroom, strangled with the cord from an alarm clock. The son's body was found in his room appearantly suffocated with a garbage bag. Chris then wrote a suicide note explaining what had happened, apologized to his family, his other children (from a seperate relationship), and his fans. He the fasioned a slip-knot noose from from rope taken from the garage and hung himself from the ballaster in the foyer of his suburban Atlanta home. Doesn't quite explain why he wasn't at Saturday's show, though. This story is so sad I hope he did not kill his 7 yr old or wife for that matter. I am witholding any judgement until ALL facts are in.

What is the deal with every headliner ECW gets ............RVD drugs, Angle gets hurt leaves for TNA, Big Show leaves WWE, Now Benoit Dead. The top dog sure last a short time so far! Sources in the Fayette County Police Department are now working under the theory that Chris Benoit killed Nancy on Saturday, son Daniel on Sunday, and then killed himself earlier today. This story is making its way out through the AP news wire and FOX News. Benoit was found dead in his weight room. Nancy was found dead in the living room. Daniel was found dead in his bedroom, according to an unnamed source in the department. Lt. Tommy Pope told ABC News "the instruments of death were located on the scene," but didn't specify what those were or where they were found. Pope said the department was not actively searching for any suspects outside the house.

I Like It.

QUOTE(briguy27 @ Jun 25, 2007 -> 11:18 PM) Possibly. Pray for Benoit and family Maybe he just wanted to be with Eddie in heaven. Well, if that was it, he got his wish IF and I say IF the reports are true he does not have to worry about seeing EG.

QUOTE(fathom @ Jun 25, 2007 -> 09:45 PM) Reports out of Atlanta now are that it's being investigated as a murder-suicide, with Benoit killing his wife last night, and then taking his own life today. I pray this isn't true. Me too but it is not looking good at this point

PWTorch has confirmed Benoit wife Nancy and son Daniel were found dead today in Atlanta! All Raw plans for tonight have been scrapped and will be a tribute show to Benoit. Eddy and Benoit champs on same night now BOTH dead!

Something weird happened Benoit went home for a family emergency and missed the PPV now he is dead! McMahon angle IMOP will be stopped tonight.

KW will get fleeced in any deal is my prediction!

1 hit may we have another?

As I said in DS thread........Nothing at all has changed picks will be spam instead of steak and this guy works cheap as is JR "MO" for minor league scouting dept. This appointment not really a hire really is disrespectful to ALL fans that invest time and money into being Sox fans.

It is about time he is nothing but a buster, he and Pacman can play all year together

They like MB as long as a bag of balls is all they have to give for him. Get real!

Enough trades for Arizona's scraps.

KW sitting on his hands ALL winter not filling holes caught up with Mr.Smugass.

If Mets want JC that much no need to wait do it asap.
