- On Friday, the day he murdered his wife, Chris Benoit visited his personal physician Dr. Phil Astin, who was also happened to be a longtime friend. He said that the former champion didn't give any indications of trouble when he showed up. "He was in my office on Friday to stop by just to see my staff," Astin said. "He certainly didn't show any signs of any distress or rage or anything." Benoit was being treated for low testosterone levels by Dr. Phil Astin, a condition that likely originated from previous steroid use. "I'm still very surprised and shocked, especially with his child Daniel involved," Astin said. "He worshipped his child."
