Christopher Michael Benoit (May 21, 1967 – June 24, 2007) was a Canadian professional wrestler who performed in Extreme Championship Wrestling, World Championship Wrestling, and World Wrestling Entertainment. He was regarded as one of the best technical professional wrestlers of his time.
Benoit, his wife Nancy, and their 7-year-old son Daniel were found dead in their Fayetteville, Georgia home on June 25, 2007. Subsequent investigations confirmed that Benoit murdered his wife by strangling her, then killed his son before hanging himself in the house's weight room.
On July 2, 2007 Chris Benoit's doctor, Phil Astin III, was arrested for prescribing him 10-month supplies of anabolic steroids every 3-4 weeks. There has been speculation that the excessive levels of steroids in Benoit's system may have contributed to the murder-suicide of himself and his family. According to the LA Times, the doctor had also prescribed more than 3,000 prescription drugs to just two clients over an 18-month period, and was writing prescriptions without expiration dates.
