Chris Benoit went out with a bang earlier this summer when he knocked off his wife and son and then committed suicide, but his father is talking out in an attempt to explain what he thinks might have happened. One of the main theories is that the massive amount of steroids pumping through Benoit’s blood caused him to go into a rage and kill his family.
Michael Benoit believes that it could have been the effect of multiple concussions rather than the steroids that caused the wrestler to kill his family. Benoit, who spoke with Diane Sawyer on Good Morning America, said that after the death he submitted a portion of the wrestler’s brain to Julian Bailes, a neurologist that works with The Sports Legacy Institute. According to Bailes, Benoit’s tissue presented damage that is similar to an Alzheimer’s patient. This suggests that he could have been suffering from a type of dementia. It is believed, at least by his father, that the dementia could have made him snap and kill his family.
Bailes mentioned that three concussions could cause a person to suffer serious consequences, with Benoit having had multiple, according to his father. it appears that they need to hold on to the idea that something caused this other than malicious intent. Meanwhile, Benoit’s father swears that, “the person that did this is not the man we know and love.”
