Professional wrestler Chris Benoit strangled his wife and smothered his 7-year-old son before hanging himself in his weight room, the Associated Press reported Tuesday.
Police have scheduled a 3 p.m. press conference on the case.
Authorities also said they are investigating whether steroids may have been a factor in the deaths of Benoit, his wife and their 7-year-old son who were found dead in an apparent murder-suicide.
Steroid abuse has been linked to depression, paranoia, and aggressive behavior or angry outbursts known as "roid rage."
"We don't know yet. That's one of the things we'll be looking at," said Fayette County District Attorney Scott Ballard. He said test results may not be back for weeks.

Roids, man, it’s the roids.
I thought that originated with hemmoroids...
I can’t believe they wrecked the ‘Vince is dead’ angle over this.
ping - y’all have been following this one
Another loser who killed someone. The only loss here was the wife and child.
Roids, what a joke.
There is no such thing as “roid rage.”
There are asshats who get very big using steroids, feel invincible, and thus do more damage.
I could never figure out the attraction of staged wrestling.
but hey shrink your balls and your brain
throw a little crystal in the mix and you're already halfway to prison or death.
Keep reading this thread for those who disagree with you. I know from personal experience (friends, not me) that it’s real.
Been reading rumors of text messages to a WWE superstar and the reason behind Benoit snapping like he did. It’s just rumors - we will know more this week.
I hope there are no more "tribute" shows planned for this POS. (IF this story is true)
Benoit update.
bump
Watch, next week he’ll be the misunderstood victim. Since I have not ever watched “rasslin” I do not know him but by the picture I take it he is a poser on steroids so he can pretend to be an athlete.
Arrogant prick took a baby and woman with him, I relish in the fact that he went south while they went north.
I read something about that: These people are so vain that they believe others would be better off dead than to “be forced to live without them.”
:-(
So sad.
too many sad stories like this lately
Roids atttract narcissists, who are violent losers by nature. Roids are just the excuse for their natural tendancies.
Now, clomid rage is real. (For those that don’t know, that’s an ovulating-inducing faux female hormone, used by roid heads to re-establish their testicles, post-roids.)
