Are you absolutely sure this is a legit story? I did some Yahoo and Google searching and found nothing—EXCEPT on wrestling websites. I even checked the Atlanta Journal-Constitution website, and there was nothing. WWE has been known to use fake deaths as part of a storyline.

We're waiting on a return call from Fayette County right now. If it's fake, I'll yank it and post an apology. But we were tipped off by NBC who has been bugging us for more info.

True but doing so right after Sherri’s death would be low. Even for Vince.

It's been reported as legit on the WWE.com website. And The Wrestling Observer website reports...

Benoit family found dead The WWE just told its talent and released on its web site that Chris Benoit was found dead by Atlanta police.

Benoit, wife Nancy aka Woman and son Daniel were all found dead. We have no other details at this moment. It is believed that Chris Benoit's two other children were in Canada.

This is real, sadly.

The regular Fayette Co. PIO is on vacation, and the sub won’t be available until tomorrow morning. The officer on duty is deferring all comments to the PIO tomorrow. But off the record, yes, it is true.
