all they've said so far about the murder-suicide is no gun was involved. Sad, very sad. I can't fathom how someone could kill those closest to them, especially your own child, or any child for that matter.

i thinks a murder suicide is selfish and a cowards way out...


I mean if you want to kill yourself that's one thing but why take others down with you/?

man he was my Favorite wrestler also. This is just messed up big time.

Newfette generaly it is the murder that drives them to regret and thus to the suicide end of the a murder/suicide case. Though who knows in this case.

Its so f'ed up when ever a kid is killed .....

[stratos]

Dang that must have been neat. Dude seemed like a great person.

This is all really perturbing for me. Chris Benoit was my favourite wrestler.

Two of the fondest memories I have are being at the first ever Smackdown filmed in Canada, watching Benoit wrestle "Stone Cold" Steve Austin for the WWF Championship, and at Backlash in Edmonton, when he retained the World Heavyweight Championship against Triple H and Shawn Michaels.

The details of his death aside, the most perverse thing about this is that I just recently acquired an autographed "Hard Knocks" DVD from ebay for $9.95 (the opening bid).

Now, there's a huge rush of people buying and selling stuff on e-bay. The poor guy who sold me that DVD must be really mad. He would have gotten hundreds of dollars for that, instead of a measley $10.


Clearly, there must have been some sort of mental illness involved. I'm perplexed.

emotionally yes but you dont have to take someone elses life because you dont want to live anymore... how much more selfish can you be?

[CapeApe]

it could be argued that taking your life is very selfish...
I'm sad to hear that kids were envolved..thats just not right...

taking your own life is selfish...it really depends..imagine someone who all his friends and family are dead...and he takes his life..how is that selfish?..what if he donates all his organs..theoretically he could be saving the lives of 6 ppl (heart-1,kidneys-2,liver-1,lungs-2)

What truly awful thing to happen.

[Patrick_Ross]

In almost all documented cases of murder-suicide, some form of mental illness is present.

Or does someone have to be selfish to succumb to mental illness?

[xerxes]

Usually the selfishness is a symptom of an illness.
