Chris had a severe and untreated case of CTE. And he was still very depressed over the loss of his best friend Eddie Guerrero. Chris was literally mentally ill and even felt remorseful and killed himself afterward. Chris is not an evil monster. That description fits Jimmy Snuka, not Chris Benoit. Chris would have been put in an asylum had he survived. And WWE absolutely should have been held culpable in the killings, because the WWE medical team had no excuse for not diagnosing Chris with CTE years before this incident occurred. Doctors even said his brain was so damaged it resembled an 80 year old with dementia. You don't miss something like that unless you aren't looking and don't care.

I refuse to vilify Chris Benoit because the person that committed those murders wasn't even Chris anymore. Anyone that has dealt with a relative with dementia knows what I'm talking about.

>inb4 dementia patients aren't violent
LMAO yes they are! They're just typically so old and feeble that they can't cause any real damage. I saw first hand with my great aunt, my grandmother, and other seniors at the care center they were placed in. My great aunt in particular had a complete 180 personality change. She was a gentle, kind woman, but when she would have one of her spells (the worst symptoms would come and go), she would become mean, hostile, and even violent. She attacked strangers on a paddle boat ride with her cane. I had to restrain her. No reason behind it either. She just didn't like them for a reason she couldn't remember afterwards.

My great aunt was not a monster and neither was Chris Benoit. Whoever it was that killed Nancy and Daniel was. But that wasn't Chris. And I like to think Chris had a moment of clarity at the end and that's why he laid out the Bibles and then killed himself in a form of penance. We will never know though.

Does anyone else feel like people who moralize about how bad what Chris Benoit did was, have major skeletons in their closet? Or are just…
