- For the first time since the tragedy, the parents of Nancy Benoit, Paul and Maureen Toffoloni, released a statement through their attorney to ESPN.COM. "We're trying to stay out of their way right now," their attorney said. "In the meantime, Maureen and Paul and Sandra (Nancy's sister) have asked me to ask members of the media and public to remember that this is an investigation of the death of their daughter and only grandchild. And even though Chris and Nancy led public lives, the family, specifically Daniel, did not lead a public life." Nancy's parents said that they often baby-sit seven year old Daniel but never noticed any medical issues with him. "There has been a lot of speculation and rumor in the media that is doing nothing to advance the investigation and doing everything to cause the Toffolonis intense pain," the statement said.
