The neuropathological tests demonstrated that Chris Benoit suffered from a type of brain damage called Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy (CTE), which was found in all regions of his brain.
SLI President Christopher Nowinski contacted Michael Benoit on June 28th, the Thursday after his son’s death, to obtain permission to study the wrestler’s brain. SLI’s research has indicated there is a connection between the repeated head injuries suffered by many athletes involved in contact sports and an aggregation of abnormal Tau proteins in the brain, causing CTE. CTE’s most common symptoms include depression, cognitive impairment, dementia, Parkinsonism and erratic behavior.
Recently, several former NFL players have been posthumously diagnosed with CTE. Justin Strzelczyk died in 2004 during a high-speed chase with police after apparently suffering a nervous breakdown. Andre Waters and Terry Long were diagnosed with the disorder after committing suicide. Pro Football Hall of Famer Mike Webster suffered from dementia before his death due to heart failure, and was also diagnosed with CTE. It is believed that numerous concussions and other brain injuries incurred during their careers are responsible for the development of CTE.[13]

I think the Police are a bunch of IDIOTS and easy fooled.
#1. Chris Benoit was considered a family man and he was very close with his family.
#2. Beniot was supposed to win the World Championship Title on the night of his suicide.
#3. Beniot stole his wife from another wrestler by the name of Kevin Sullivan. At the time (10 years ago) Sullivan said he was going to kill Benoit.
#4. Sullivan is a high ranking member of the Church of Satan, whose credo is to seek revenge against those that have done you wrong.
------
My thoery is that Kevin Sullivan possibly with other members of the Church of Satan broke into the home on Friday. Drugged the family. Held the kid as hostage to make Benoit call the WWE and cancel his event. then he tied up his ex-wife and made Benoit watch as he killed her. then the next day made benoit watch as he killed his son. then on the next day they killed Benoit and made the whole scene look like a murder suicide.
The Text Messages could have been sent by anyone with Chris' phone.
The Wiki Page was edited from CT not GA.
Chris Benoit was going to become the World Champion on Sunday night.
Roid Rage happens within a short burst, not over an entire weekend...
If Kevin Sullivan is not the #1 Suspect then the Police are IDIOTS.

Benoit had a type of brain damage that is typically found in football players and boxers. It causes depression, erratic behaviour, and there have been a number of former athletes that have committed suicide with the same condition.
They know this because Benoit's brain was studied upon his death.

I don't know about any coverup, but this IMO is not steroid related.

If one could have looked into his eyes that last day he wrestled you could see something was bothering him on a family level, I didn't watch his paper view but did the day before the paperview and he looked like he just wrestled because he was inclined through contract, something was bothering him on an emotional level.
Now he did have somethings going on with his kid, but I think his was probably engaged with another relationship. Wrestling is a lot of time on the road, do these wrestlers get to see there families all the time?
The man could wrestle, but in an apparent rage or confusion put the last choke hold on anyone and put his son to the final resting place.
Really respected the man's wrestling ability, but definately tragic for all parties there included.
Made Vince cop up real quick with the fake explosion ploy bit, I am sure that opened his Eyes why you don't fake things in less really needed. I am sure he felt ashamed for it, or at least sad for the incident it was as if the plot thickened from there.
Chris took his job seriously that would explained the hours he put into the business.
Maybe too much work and not enough play.
A touchy subject but definately an eye opener, there were many other before and after chris that had been laid to rest through the wrestling entertainment.

The Wrestling world is full of weird and unexplained deaths that seem to never end. Its almost like its in the written script of a wrestling episode. I used to watch Wrastling back in the day and I remember this character Sting used and he would drop from the rafters in all black with white make up and a baseball bat. One of the times they had him come down on this string from the rafters and it dropped free fall and the lights went out in the ring and it ended up being a dummy. Then, a couple years later, I read that Owen Hart dropped from the rafters and died.
This business is crazy with all the travel and time away from home. I can see why they have such a problem with wrestlers using drugs and passing away at an early age.
