The media called it roid rage but to me I call it murder and suicide! How can roid rage last over a few days? Authorities say the murders and subsequent suicide happened over the course of three days. They say 40 year old Benoit killed his wife on Friday, she was found with her feet and hands tied together and a bible near her body.. Benoit then killed his son late Saturday or Sunday morning by suffocating him,and then cowardly took his own life about 24 hours after that.

During the time from the killing of his wife to his own suicide he had to eat, drink, sleep and use the restroom. He had time to think about things, what he was doing and what he had done. How could a man tie up his family, murder them and then place bibles by their dead bodies without realizing what he was doing? There had to be some thought put into that act. How could someone kill their own child and not think about it? How could he look into that child's face as he took his last breathe?

The whole situation sickens me. But I do feel that people choose what they do to themselves and Chris Benoit choose to take steroids, he choose to put something harmful into his body. The facts about steroids is not something that is not widely known. Are steroids to blame? Was it roid rage that killed Chris Benoit's son and his wife? No it was Chris Benoit who killed his family, with his own hands and then later cowardly took his own life. I pray for peace for his family but Chris Benoit is a murder and that is a face, plain and simple.
