The deaths of WWE Superstar Chris Benoit, wife Nancy and son Daniel were the result of a double murder-suicide.

Benoit failed to appear both at Saturday’s live event in Beaumont, Texas, and WWE’s Vengeance: Night of Champions in Houston Sunday night,after informing WWE of a family emergency. Several curious text messages sent by Benoit early Sunday morning prompted concerned friends to alert Richard Hering, VP of Government Relations for WWE, Inc. Hering, in turn, spoke with Fayette County sheriffs Monday, and requested they respond to the Benoit residence to check on him and his family.

Once authorities entered the residence, they quickly located the bodies of Benoit, Nancy and Daniel. Discovery at approximately 4 p.m.

At 10 p.m. Monday night, Lt. Pope held a press conference to which they are findings as a double murder-suicide from within the home.

FOX-owned and operated television station in Atlanta, reported that investigators believe Benoit killed his wife and 7-year-old son over the weekend, then himself on Monday.

The three bodies have been received by the Georgia Bureau of Investigation’s crime lab, in Decatur, Ga., where autopsies will be performed Tuesday morning. Toxicology reports will not become available for at least two weeks.

20.Suspect investigation of Mr. McMahon's death

MICK FOLEY

The first person to officially have another Superstar accuse him of the heinous actions against Mr. McMahon, Mick Foley has rarely had a kind word for the presumed dead Chairman.

BOBBY LASHLEY

The former U.S. Army sergeant has the training to carry out such a destructive plan, and plenty of reason why he would want Mr. McMahon out of his way. King Booker seems to think Lashley is the culprit behinnd the McMahon incident, but what does federal investigator Daniel Beck think of the former ECW World Champion?

JONATHAN COACHMAN

Nobody in WWE is more connected to Mr. McMahon than his Executive Assistant and interim Raw boss. Perhaps nobody had more to gain in the absence of the Chairman, and even more suspicious is that moments before the explosion, Coachman led Mr. McMahon to the ill-fated limo.

CRYME TYME

Making that money may have made JTG & Shad suspects in the limo explosion. While offering up for sale items previously owned by Mr. McMahon, Cryme Tyme was approached by federal investigator Beck and asked to answer some questions. Could having the Chairman's personal belongings vault Cryme Tyme to the top of the suspect list?

THOMAS PAGLIARO

The man behind the wheel has become a suspect simply by his profession, as limo driver Thomas Pagliaro has come forward to explain his innocence and whereabouts during the explosion that has presumably taken the life of Mr. McMahon.

PAUL LONDON

While every other Superstar in WWE and ECW stood silent and somber at the end of Mr. McMahon Appreciation Night just moments before the limo explosion, one Superstar had a smile on his face - Paul London. What did the high-flying Superstar have to smile about? Federal investigator Beck may want to find out.

JOHN CENA

The Champ was in the house when Mr. McMahon's limo exploded, but investigator Beck still has questions for John Cena. The Chairman and the WWE Champion have never quite seen eye-to-eye, and maybe Cena wanted to make sure that the one thing that means more to him than anything stays around his waist and nobody else's.

17.Vengeance Championship Challenge Match

As announced on the June 11 Raw, John Cena will defend the WWE Championship at Vengeance: Night of Champions. His opponent? Well, actually, he has four.

Cena's match will be a WWE Championship Challenge Match, and the parameters of the "Challenge" were made simple by Coachman: any current or former World Champion on the Raw roster was be eligible to challenge Cena for the gold.

Mick Foley threw his hat into the ring moments after the announcement was made, and when King Booker and Bobby Lashley were drafted to Raw, two more former World Champions were added to the already stacked Raw roster. Later that night, it was announced that all three men, as well as Raw stalwart Randy Orton, will be involved in the match.

And so, questions abound. Can John Cena survive the challenge of four men and hold on to his gold? Will Orton reach his destiny and win his first WWE Championship? Will Foley's first match in nearly a year net him some gold? Will one of the two newcomers claim the keys to the Raw city right away? Or will even another former World Champion be added after the supplemental draft on WWE

The answer lies at Vengeance: Night of Champions.

15.Mr. McMahon no brotherly love in death

Even in death, there was no brotherly love for WWE Chairman Mr. McMahon in Philadelphia.

Very few handmade signs in homage to the Chairman peppered the Wachovia Center as some of our fans fell to a hush at the beginning of ECW on Sci Fi. The fans in Philadelphia have been known for their passion and sometimes-harsh treatment of sports figures. And they had no mercy on Mr. McMahon, as many booed, flashed thumbs-down signs and rained catcalls in the Chairman’s memory as 10 metallic tings of the ring bell reverberated throughout the arena and McMahon's face appeared on the TitanTron.

A few “R.I.P Vince” signs were scattered in the audience. Some of our fans cheered and applauded the fallen Chairman, who presumably perished at the end of Raw when his limousine exploded. But mixed reaction aside, Monday’s tragic events shook the core of all of WWE and ECW.
