Those are probably just crazy rumors like when they said that Irv Gotti or Ja Rule killed Proof..
Police are investigating as a murder-suicide.. They haven't officially said who they are leaning towards having done it, but it looks like Benoit.. Which makes me wonder why the fuck he would kill his 7 year old son.

Man, that's all bad. I grew up watching wrestling, back in the '80's...and I guess, at about 20 or so, kind of grew out of it. I still sort of followed it, catching Raw every once in a while.
Benoit always had my respect because (although not real) he always came to fight and put on a great show.
RIP to him and his family, and especially to him, regardless of what comes to light in the next few days and weeks.

The deaths of professional wrestler Chris Benoit and his wife and son have been ruled a double-murder suicide "from within the home'', according to a wrestling website.
The three were found dead in their US home about 2.30pm local time (4.30am Sydney), but police have so far refused to release any further details.
But wwe.com, the website of the World Wrestling Entertainment, declaring the deaths a double murder suicide.
"It has been ruled that the deaths of Chris Benoit, his wife Nancy and their son Daniel earlier today were the result of a double murder-suicide from within the home. WWE.com will have more as soon as it becomes available,'' the statement read.
Lieutenant Tommy Pope of the Fayette County Sheriff's Department said results of autopsies on Benoit, his wife Nancy, and seven-year-old son Daniel were expected tomorrow.
Benoit, 40, was a former world heavyweight champion, Intercontinental champion and held several tag-team titles.
He appeared in events put on by World Wrestling Entertainment.
"WWE extends its sincerest thoughts and prayers to the Benoit family's relatives and loved ones in this time of tragedy," the federation said in a statement on its website.
Benoit was scheduled to perform at the Vengeance pay-per-view event on Sunday night in Houston, Texas, but was replaced at the last minute because of what announcer Jim Ross called "personal reasons".
Benoit, a Canadian native, maintained a home in metro Atlanta from the time he wrestled for the defunct World Championship Wrestling.
Nancy Sullivan Benoit was a former wrestling valet who wrestled under the name, Woman.
After news of the tragedy broke, the WWE cancelled its live Monday Night RAW program in Corpus Christi, Texas, and USA Network aired a three-hour tribute to Benoit in place of the scheduled wrestling telecast.
