We had a long, enjoyable run, and I would like to thank every Orlando Magic fan who contributed to our small community on the web. This message board will be left online as an archive into the thoughts and minds of a group of Magic fanatics who lived through a 21-win season, the drafting of Dwight Howard, and an eventual NBA Finals appearance.

Looks like he could have possibly killed his wife and kid then himself, or even the possibility the wife did. He missed the PPV on Sunday because he had to return home for a family emergency according to wrestling newsboards. So who knows what happened. Will find out soon. |

Reports are now saying he strangled his wife and smothered his son over the weekend and then he hung himself on Monday. His son was found in his room, his wife in their office and he hung himself in the weight room. |

Yea....they are looking at it as "roid rage". Supposedly back in 2003, his wife filed for divorce because he felt she and her child were in danger. Its sad. |

Press Conference Notes: - CONFIRMED Benoit strangled Nancy sometime Friday and Daniel sometime Saturday and sometime Saturday Night or Sunday Evening hanged himself. - According to doctors, Benoit killed himself several hours after he killed Nancy and Daniel. No more than 24 hours. - There was a Bible placed at the side of each body. - Nancy was bound by her feet and hands - Benoit hanged himself with the cords from the weight machine. - No suicide notes of any kind - Alot of prescription medication found in his house. But all LEGAL. - Also Steroids found in the house. - When asked about the motive, they said they were not gonna go into it at this time. - Would not go into the context of the text messages he sent to a "fellow wrestler" |

That was my first thought as well... But, in this situation, the killer was a member of the family. What a shame. |

Did you guys hear about that Wikipedia thing with Benoit? Someone anonymously posted something about his wife's death before she was killed. They traced the anonymous poster to Connecticut, which ironically enough is where the WWE headquarters is. Crazy stuff. |

Supposedly they found the guy and he said it was just a terrible coincidence. The police confiscated his computer however. |

Really weird, I've been following this story pretty closely since I'm a big wrestling fan and have been watching Benoit for a long time. Honestly the media and everyone else wants it to be "roid rage" as the reason he did this, but I don't think it was. Steroids aren't going to do that to you, they'll make you violent and angry, and you'll want to destroy things but you're not going to do what Chris Benoit did. Just a terrible tragedy. |

![]() Julian Bailes of the Sports Legacy Institute showed an image from a healthy brain versus Chris Benoit's brain, which showed brown spots indicating signs of cell death, similar to what an Alzheimer patient's brain might look like. The family of Chris Benoit has been searching for answers since late June, when the professional wrestler killed his wife, 7-year-old son and then himself. http://abcnews.go.com/GMA/story?id=3560015&page=1
