- A couple of hours ago, a press conference was held in front of reporters headed up by Fayette County District Attorney Scott Ballard and Lt. Tommy Pope of the Fayette County Sheriff's Department. The cause of death for all three members is asphyxiation, as Chris Benoit first strangled his wife with an electric cord and then smothered his seven year old son with a bag. His wife was found in the living room while his son was in his bedroom upstairs. Chris was found in the weight room in the basement hanging from the pulley of a weight machine. During the press conference they said that Nancy was killed on late Friday night, his son on Saturday and Chris on early Sunday morning as opposed to Saturday, Sunday and Monday as previously noted. When a reporter asked how long after he killed his son Chris did the suicide the answer was, "Several hours later but not more than a day." He placed a copy of the Bible next to the dead bodies of his wife and son. His 43 year old wife Nancy had blood on the back of her head and her body was wrapped in a towel with hands and feet tied up. A lot of prescribed medications were found by CSI's although it's believed that they were all legally given to him by doctors and anabolic steroids were also found in the house. No motive was given at this time although they did give an indication that they might know the real story why this happened. Benoit sent a text message to one of his co-workers - believed to be Chavo Guerrero - but details of the message were not revealed.
