Steroids Found in Benoit's Body and House

By Carolina

"In a community like this it's bizarre to have a murder-suicide, specially
involving the death of a 7-year-old," Ballard said. "I don't think we'll
ever be able to wrap our minds around this," Fayette County District Attorney
Scot Ballard said. The murder-suicide of Chris Benoit, his wife and son has
shocked many people that knew this famous pro wrestler and his family.
Benoit contained high levels of testosterone, drugs and steroids in his
body, according to many investigators and scientist that were investigating
the case.
His wife, a 43-year-old-women was probably killed on June 22nd; she was
found in an upstairs family room with bound wrists and feet and blood under
her head, indicating a possible struggle. Their son named Daniel, was
probably killed late Saturday or early Sunday according to the
investigations. Apparently Benoit hanged himself hours later in a downstairs
weight room hanging from the pulley of an exercise equipment.
They do not know for sure if the steroids and drugs found in Benoit‚s
system was the cause of the terrible murder-suicide performed last month at
Benoit‚s Atlanta home. Authorities said Benoit placed a Bible next to each
of their bodies, before killing himself.
With all the investigations and tests they made, authorities found that
Benoit‚s wife, tested positive for Xanax, hydrocodone and the painkiller
hydromorphone, and their 7-year-old had Xanax in his body as well.
