Here's the article if you're too lazy.
"Chris Benoit, 40, his wife Nancy (who was a manager in WCW in the 1990's as Woman) and his son Daniel, 7, were found dead in their home. They were found dead by the sheriff's department in Peachtree City, GA, after WWE officials contacted them because they were unable to reach Chris.
Lt. Tommy Pope of the Fayette County Sheriff's Department told ABC News that there was no sign of gunshot wounds or stabbing. But they are not ruling out other causes, such as poisoning, suffocation, or strangulation. Although Pope noted he was not "confirming" any of these causes, just not ruling them out at this time.
An autopsy has been scheduled for Tuesday morning at 10 a.m. However, it could be weeks before there is a result.
Sources in the Fayette County Police Department are working under the theory that Chris Benoit killed Nancy on Saturday, son Daniel on Sunday, and then killed himself on Monday. The Wrestling Observer reported that it is believed that Chris Benoit's two other children were in Canada.
Benoit was found dead in his weight room. Nancy was found dead in the living room. Daniel was found dead in his bedroom, according to an unnamed source in the department.
Lt. Tommy Pope told ABC News "the instruments of death were located on the scene," but didn't specify what those were or where they were found. Pope said the department was not actively searching for any suspects outside the house.
WWE.com also confirmed that the deaths were the result of a double murder-suicide from within the home. WWE has provided this timeline on the events over the past several days:
- Benoit was not at the Smackdown/ECW house show in Beaumont on Saturday, or in Houston for the Vengeance PPV, informing WWE that he had a family emergency.
- Benoit sent "curious text messages" to friends on Sunday morning, and concerns over the messages were sent to WWE representative Richard Hering.
- Richard Hering spoke to local authorities on Monday morning, requesting a "wellness check" at the Benoit residence.
- Local authorities found the bodies of Chris, Nancy, and Daniel at 2:30 p.m. on Monday afternoon after. Initial evidence has led authorities to believe Nancy and Daniel were killed sometime during the weekend, then Benoit killed himself on Monday.
- WWE officials in Corpus Christi were informed of the deaths at 4:00 p.m on Monday. WWE then held a meeting with wrestlers and talent, informing them of the deaths. WWE scrapped it's plans for Raw that night and made it a tribute to Chris Benoit and his family. Fans were sent home. Wrestlers were also allowed to leave and mourn.
WWE also released the following statement:
"Chris was beloved among his fellow Superstars, and was a favorite among WWE fans for his unbelievable athleticism and wrestling ability. He always took great pride in his performance, and always showed respect for the business he loved, for his peers and towards his fans. This is a terrible tragedy and an unbearable loss. WWE extends its sincere condolences and prayers to the Benoit family and loved ones in this time of tragedy."
