[grasshopper]

Authorities said they found prescription anabolic steroids in the home among other legal prescriptions.

Police said that Nancy Benoit died of asphyxiation on Friday, said Fayette County District Attorney Scott Ballard. She was found in an upstairs family room with her legs and wrists bound and blood under her head, perhaps indicating a struggle, he said.

The Benoits' son, Daniel, died of asphyxiation sometime Saturday morning, Ballard said. He was found in his bed upstairs. Both mother and son had bibles placed at their sides.

Authorities found the pro wrestler dead in the basement, hanging from the pulley of a weight machine. He died sometime late Saturday or Sunday, Ballard said.

He did not leave behind a suicide note.

Police ruled the death a double homicide-suicide and are investigating whether steroids may have been a factor in the deaths.

-Fayette County District Attorney Scott Ballard said, "I don't think we'll ever be able to wrap around minds around this completely."-

Toxicology results from the autopsies will take weeks.

After reading this article again, I question did Nancy have an injury to her head?(blood under her head) it does not state an injury just that there was blood. I assume she was found face down, reports have stated strangled,
bruising to her back, consistent with a knee to the back. (Unless of course she was moved) Everyone following this case I think is still baffled as to why she was 'bound', one of the reasons (I believe) is she was trying to escape, was caught and restrained. IMO

Daniel's death could have been either parent,IMO. Can it be proven one or the other gave the medications(potentially fatal, IMO) to him, can it be proven that Daniel was already dead when he sustained internal neck injuries.(no bruising) Is it possible one parent was covering for the other, and staged the scene? JMO

Chris' hanging was pretty much self explained! IMO

It would be interesting to hear peoples views on the signifinace of the placement of the bibles.(When I first heard this story and the details from the conference, my view of Nancy and Daniel found in the home on the upper floors ment 'heaven' and Chris in the basement 'hell') While I do not view Chris doing these acts consouisly, whether domestic rage, roid rage, or medications, it seems to me he had regrets. Texts messages also seem to point at regret he IMO was delusional during the phone calls the previous day,
and when he came 'around' mentally he created the text messages and placed the bibles, perhaps to show his regret?Guilt? Nobody will ever know, sad!
