Memorial Held For Nancy Benoit and Son Daniel

Friends and family of Nancy Benoit gathered in Florida Saturday to mourn her and 7-year-old son Daniel’s tragic and untimely death.


Questions still remain unanswered about what led wrestling star Chris Benoit to murder his wife, Nancy, and son, Daniel, in their home in Atlanta area three weeks ago.

Benoit had placed Bibles next to their bodies and then hung himself on the cable of a weight machine, authorities said.

Although earlier speculations implicated Benoit’s use of excessive anabolic steroids, Jim Ross, the World Wrestling Entertainment announcer known as J.R, told drugs aren’t the focus at the moment, reports MSNBC.

“It’s not a steroid issue,” Ross said. “It’s a domestic issue. There’s a lot of other criteria that has to be involved in it. I still can’t believe it even happened,” Ross told calling the deaths “a real tragedy.”

The service was held at Our Lady of Lourdes Catholic Church and at the request of the family the service was closed to the media. Some fans were allowed to attend the service.

Private services for Chris Benoit were to be held in Canada, told his father.
