Dead Wrestler's Final Text Messages
WWE has released text messages sent to employees by wrestler Chris Benoit, who last weekend killed his wife and son, and then himself. The text messages themselves are rather benign, but what's chilling is that they appear to have been sent after Benoit murdered his family.Police believe Benoit killed his family on Friday night (June 22) or early Saturday morning, but waited around until Monday morning to hang himself on his weight machine. According to WWE's own timeline, Benoit contacted WWE employees on Saturday the 23rd to inform them that his wife and child were ill and that he'd have to miss a scheduled appearance. According to the police timeline, Benoit's wife and son were, in fact, already dead at this time.
While attempting to rebook Benoit for a Sunday appearance, WWE employees received the following text messages from the wrestler between 3:51 and 3:58 a.m. Sunday morning:
3:53 a.m. "My physical address is 130 Green Meadow Lane, Fayetteville Georgia. 30215'"
3:53 a.m. "The dogs are in the enclosed pool area. Garage side door is open"
3:54 a.m. "My physical address is 130 Green Meadow Lane. Fayetteville Georgia. 30215''
3:54 a.m. "My physical address is 130 Green Meadow Lane. Fayetteville Georgia. 30215'"
3:54 a.m. "My address is 130 Green Meadow Lane. Fayetteville Georgia. 30215'"
At 12:30 p.m. the next day WWE had been unable to make contact with Benoit , which prompted the wrestling organization to contacted local authorities. At 4:00 p.m., WWE was notified that the Benoit home was a crime scene.

I must say I'm as disturbed by this as all of you are. I've read nearly everything on the internet & in the newspapers & have drawn the obvious conclusion. However, I am confused about the latest story I read on this blog regarding the text messages. It states that "what's chilling is that they appear to have been sent BEFORE Benoit murdered his family." Everything I've read says that his wife was murdered on Friday & his son was murdered on Saturday & the text messages were sent early Sunday morning - last time I checked, Sunday comes after Friday & Saturday! It certainly doesn't change the outcome, but why add drama to an already horrendous situation?

This man is a total and complete coward--words really can't describe it--and trust me no matter how bad his life on this earth was--or he thought it was--it is absolutely nothing compared to what awaits him for eternity...

It sure would be nice if he would have given the world an explination before he commited this horrible crime.Why is it people that commit suicide always depart this world and never leave a clue. To the wife and son of cris benoit RIP.To Cris benoit i hope you burn in hell!!!!!

I feel sorry for Chris Benoits' wife and son, not for him. I used to watch wrestling, but got so disqusted that I don't any more. Are people aware that most of wrestling is fake. These wrestlers train and work out and learn to fall and have blood capsules in their mouth to bite at a certain time. Wrestling is breeding more vilent behavior in some children, because they can not separate real life from what they see in a wrestling match. I am not saying that a few of the wrestlers do get hurt, but isn't it something that a wrestler get hit over the head with a chair many times,thrown thru the ropes,punched in the stomach,jabbed in the eyes,pounced on, and etc, than still have enough energy to fight and win sometimes. Remember, these wrestlers practice a lot and stay in shape.
