- As investigators continue to look for clues as to what triggered Chris Benoit to kill his wife and son and then commit suicide, the possibility of drugs and steroid use is being considered. Crime scene investigators found a lot of prescribed drugs and anabolic steroids in the house which were all legally prescribed to Benoit according to Fayette District Attorney Scott Ballard. WWE is taking a defensive stand on this one, even sending a press release to outline certain points. "The physical findings announced by authorities indicate deliberation, not rage. The wife's feet and hands were bound and she was asphyxiated, not beaten to death. By the account of the authorities, there were substantial periods of time between the death of the wife and the death of the son, again suggesting deliberate thought, not rage. The presence of a Bible by each is also not an act of rage." The company also said that Benoit was tested last for drugs on April 10th 2007 and the results were negative. Toxicology reports won't come out for the next couple of weeks and there's no evidence yet that Benoit was drugged when he committed the murders. WWE said it's unfair to blame drugs and steroids at this early stage especially when the authorities stated there is no evidence yet.
