Why?!?
I guess my theory was wrong. Chris Benoit did indeed kill his family and then himself. A news conference from this afternoon stated that sometime Friday nite he strangled his wife. Sometime Saturday he asphyxiated his son and then sometime during the late hours of Saturday and early hours Sunday he hung himself in his downstairs weightroom.
I cannot wrap my mind around why someone would do such a thing. I know that it sounds cliche but he didn't seem like the type of man that would do somethihng like that. Just last nite on the WWE tribute show his fellow wrestlers were saying what a great dad he was. He was such a family man. What could have caused him to snap?
I am very upset by the way that he chose to commit suicide. Any time I hear about someone hanging themselves it brings back awful memories for me. My best friend hung himself almost 12 years ago. It was the most horrific thing I have ever seen. I will never get that image out of my mind. I will never get over what he did. To this day a simple song or memory can make me break down and cry. I know that people say that time heals but I think it's b.s. Hasn't worked for me.
I know that his friends and co-workers are going to be angry with him for what he did. They'll wonder why he didn't come to them for help with whatever was going on. They'll be mad at him for leaving. They'll feel guilty because they will think that there must have been something that they could've done to prevent this. It's an awful burden to carry for those that he left behind. Believe me,I speak from experience.
Who knows whether we will ever know why he did this. Who knows if he knew why he did this. Sometimes things like this leave more questions than it does answers. I just want to know why...Labels: personal
