Canadian Wrestler Chris Benoit, along with his wife and son, have been found dead in their Atlanta home. There are no details yet on the circumstances of their death.

I don’t follow wrestling but I was invited at the WWE RAW exhibition last May at the Bell Centre. Chris Benoit (wearing the red pants in the shots above) started the evening in what is called a Battle Royale where a large group of wrestlers try to throw their opponents out of the ring. Chris was the last man standing and won the right to fight The Edge during the last fight of the evening. Ultimately, The Edge cheated by removing the covering at the corner of the ring cords and slamming his opponent’s head on the metal holders.

Unfortunately, what happened in Atlanta was neither fake nor scripted. CTV News is calling it a murder-suicide.
