Was Benoit's Son Really Sick?

61. "These horrible murders do not sound like the actions of the man everyone knew. "

This statement caught my eye. Just because you watch the man on television and perhaps shake his hand as he walks through the crowd does not in any fashion mean you know him. Lets be clear. It means you know ABOUT him, but even then all you know is what you're shown.

All there is to go on at the moment is speculation, and its running rampant. There has even been a wide spread theory that Benoit was told by his wife that his child was not his and that she'd been deceiving him all these years. Though it might explain the "snap" he experienced again its still no more than speculation.

If we're going to speculate how about this? Chris comes home to find his wife in a manic state threatening Chris that if he should go away one more time and leave her home with the child that she'll kill the child and leave. An argument ensues that literally tears benoit apart. In a rage, she kills the child. Benoit in GREIF kills her and then under the weight and guilt of taking the life of the woman he loves, gets drunk and takes his own life as well.

Theres some speculation.

62. Daniel Benoit was born February, 2000. That means he would have been a little over 7 1/2 years old when he entered First Grade; and 8 years old by the time he finished. That certainly sounds like some type of learning disability was involved to me.

63. It's a shame to believe what you read anymore - I certainly hope this is not the case, if so, it is so horrible - I feel bad for his other children - I hope they are coping with this...

64. Is there really people out there that think TMZ is THE TRUTH?

Half the time it's all exaggerated or spun to make the celebrity look bad - here, the tabloids, the television, you name it.
No one knows the truth except those who are involved.
Always.

Remember that.

65. before condemning anyone maybe we all need the entire facts and how the tragedy came about and not just accept everything we read to be accurate, he obviously wasnt his normal self and a prime example why drugs legal or illegal can be harmful when abused

66. The man was mentally ill to commit such an act, and we should be showing compassion to his extended family and friends, not judging him. When a person is in the grip of alcohol or drugs, he has lost control, and anything is possible. Let's leave the judgments behind and say a prayer for them.

67. I have been reading your comments and this is what i have to say, we as people have a tendency to want to place blame for every thing that happens on someone or something. In reality, why can't we call it as it is? This man,Chris Benoit, was human just as the rest of us. Eventually the truth will be known,whether it will be told or not, we don't know. The fact is no matter what troubles this family had, there was help out there. A lot of times we chose not to seek help because of our pride. This man killed his family because he chose not to get help. That alone is selfish. Regardless of the outcome, one thing will remain the same, there are three people dead. Each one of them had a purpose in life, each one of them had dreams, and a destiny that was taken from them. They each have a family left behind to live with the horror that their child,sister,brother is gone and wondering if there was anything that they could have done to prevent this from happening or how are they going to get beyond this? it is not our place to speculate on what happened or to place blame, but truthly, be praying for their families, that they are able to recover and to get beyond this. Because ,no matter what the findings(whether they were murdered or it was murder-suicide), the one thing that remains is that these families still lost a loved one. I'm not the investigator, so who am I to say what happened? I can pray for them.

68. let the family be,think about how your family would feel.no one know what went on in the house alot of whats been reported is falling apart the man loved his son and everone who knew him has said that,im not saying that if he did it ,it was right,but no one knows what he was thinking or what really happened,theres alot that we ae not being told out of investigations that are on going so until everything about the situation becomes public just leave it as it is,the more we go on about it the more the familys suffer,move on and thank god everyday for what you have

69. sheesh people...key word " allegedly" injected his son. It hasen't been proven that he did. I will remember Chris Benoit for what he did in the ring. Nobody will ever know what made him snap like he did. I do not condone what he did, but I will not be his judge or jury

70. I will never understand why someone harms a child. It makes no sense and never will. Nothing anyone says can make it better. I have an eight year old daughter along with three other children and I look at her and think of how helpless she is and I am the one who is protecting her. To think of the horriable thing he did to his son makes me sick. I just pray that god took him fast and that he had no clue it was his father harming him. I dont want his last thought to be was why is my daddy hurting me. Why why did he not send his son off to a friends and kill himself. What is the point in taking a childs life? It makes me sick. I hope the familys can find closure soon.

72. I have been watching the latest developments on the Chris Benoit case. My question is, why is his neighbor in hiding? Maybe someone else killed all 3 of them. Maybe Chris owed some big kingpin a lot of money and was unable to pay on time so they killed his wife and child in front of him, then killed him after letting him suffer long enough? Does anyone agree with me?

73. Where did anyone get the information Daniel had Fragile X syndrome?. Fragile X means the chromosomes have an extra x chromosome with a small tail hanging on rather than a full looking X. The signs and symptoms of fragile X are much like most of the mentally retarded men in this world... Large protuberant ears. jutting out chin and jaw, enlarged testes, especially at puberty , inability to speak or understand language.. The trait is usually carried by the female and it is inherited.
Now, if this boy did not have Fragile X syndrome, then why did people say that? Is the family in denial because it is inherited? What about Nancy's family? We only hear about Chris' family in Canada. Rose Young-Stewart

74. i think the text messages he was sending with the address over and over was a cry to the people he was calling that something was wrong in that house. we dont know that there wasnt a 4th person there and he was trying to get help there for his family, i think its odd he was fine friday afternoon and then send out all them messages to people who knew where he lived and kept telling them his address over and over, plus i think there is something odd about the page being altered before the deaths was discovered and it just happens to be a freak accident for one, and that the accident just happens in the same city of the people chris worked for and was sending the text messages too we will never know the truth of what happened in that home that weekend, but there is a possibliaty that this man that has always shown the world he was a loving father and family man was crying out for someone to come to his home because there was something wrong there, and there have been cases of murder that has been made to look like suicide before.i think it is sad for everyone.

75. With a posting on Wikipedia just hours before the madness occured, one must wonder if it was planned or actually a murder. After all, the Wikipedia posting was from Conneticuit, just miles from the WWE okkices....who would have known??

But, reality is that 3 people are dead....Rest in Peace Benoit family. Only God can judge you.
