R.I.P. Chris Benoit : 1967-2007

Canadian WWE performer and two time world heavyweight champion Chris Benoit, his son Daniel and his wife Nancy were found dead in their Atlanta, Georgia home earlier today.

Benoit, the most decorated performer in the history of professional wrestling, having held nearly every championship contested. Speculation placed Benoit to add yet another title to his collection at the WWE's most recent pay per view. However, his absense had been described as due to "personal reasons".

According to the Fayette County Sheriff's Department, "instruments of death" were found at the scene. Early reports indicate that the deaths have been ruled a double-murder suicide.

Chris Benoit was a true Canadian hero. I extend my condolences to all members of Benoit's family, as well as to all his fellow fans.

God bless you, mr Benoit. May you rest in peace.
