(AP) — WWE wrestler Chris Benoit, his wife and son were found dead Monday and police said they were investigating the deaths as a homicide. Lt. Tommy Pope of the Fayette County Sheriff's Department said the three were found at their home about 2:30 p.m., but refused to release details. Pope said results of autopsies on Benoit, his wife Nancy, and 7-year-old son Daniel were expected Tuesday. Benoit, 40, was a former world heavyweight champion, Intercontinental champion and held several tag-team titles over his career. "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. FIND MORE STORIES IN: WWE \| Pro wrestler Benoit was scheduled to perform at the "Vengeance" pay-per-view event Sunday night in Houston, 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. The WWE canceled its live "Monday Night RAW" card in Corpus Christi, Texas, and USA Network aired a three-hour tribute to Benoit in place of the scheduled wrestling telecast.

They found prescription steroids in his home along with other prescribed meds. They said that he strangled his wife, smothered his son, then hung himself in the weight room, all in the span of a few days. And these wrestlers are coming on saying that he was this really great guy. It just doesn't add up. If it isn't roid rage, then what the heck happened? Oh! And wrestler Bam Bam Bigalow died a few months back, that's the first time I heard about this. I liked watching Bam Bam. With the flame tattoo hair. Curt Hennig is dead too. He sung that song that dad liked "Rap is Crap". The Wall is gone. Eddy Guerrero, the Big Boss Man, Mike Awesome. I'm just shocked that all of these former WCW wrestlers are gone.
