Where'* the credible source?

Supply it, and I'll believe Confused
x3, I need ABC News or somebody to report on this and so far none of them are reporting about this.

I've been lurking news sites, I mean...he may not be incredibly famous but when an entire family falls ill and dies in their home, it will probably be reported. Especially considering this guy was a bit famous, at least.

EDIT: Just noting that I really hate wrestling, and I'm only lurking out of personal interest. If this happens to be true, I will be sad for his death. If it'* false, I find it pathetic that WWE would do something like this. So out of curiosity, I want to find out the truth.

So far the only site I see reporting on this is WWE, the same site that staged the whole Vince limo death thing.

the boy who cried wolf...nobody believes them now

A professional wrestler and his family were found dead inside their house in Fayette County Monday afternoon.

Authorities confirmed that Chris Benoit, his wife, Nancy and their 7-year-old son were found dead at the home on Quarters and Redwine roads in Fayetteville about 4 p.m.
Chris Benoit


Officials would not say how the family died, other than to say they weren't shot to death.

Benoit, 30, was a Canadian wrestler who most recently fought as part of the World Wrestling Entertainment.

The organization said on its Web site said that Monday night'* broadcast of "Raw" on the USA Network will "serve as a tribute to Chris Benoit and his family."

O.K. good enough for the time being. All I can think of now is maybe carbon monoxide poisoning or some type of poisoning that may have killed the entire family or murder suicide. Details will come out as time goes by

Yes, I suppose it is. I'm not trying to denigrate his death or anything of the sort, I was merely skeptical because of the past shenanigans pulled by staged Wrestling. You really can't blame me, it'* their own fault for having staged deaths in which they claim the FBI is investigating it.
I feel bad for them and their families.

Isn't it terrible that there'* stuff like this happening and WWE is still going along with the whole Vince McMahon hoax? Not that I watch wrestling anymore, though. It'* to much of a soap-opera, but I remember watching Chris Benoit on WCW when I was just a little kid.

Their not going with that story line anymore. I'm sitting here watching RAW and Vince came out at the beginning of the show and dedicated tonight'* show in Chris'* memory
