Chris Benoit was a professional wrestler. He was one of the best to ever step into the ring. But at the tail end of his career, all his family and friends could see that it was taking a toll on him. On June 25th, 2007, sheriffs responded to a welfare check request by the WWE. Upon entering the Benoit residence, they found Chris, his wife Nancy, and his son Daniel all deceased. Investigators would rule later that it was a murder-suicide done by Chris Benoit. What could have driven him to do such an awful act?
