It seems like Chris killed his wife and son before killing himself. No gun was used. What a tragedy! I wonder what caused him to take such drastic decisions against his own loved ones?

He Did It
A LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICIAL TELLS AP THAT PRO WRESTLER CHRIS BENOIT STRANGLED HIS WIFE, SMOTHERED HIS 7-YEAR-OLD SON, AND HANGED HIMSELF
Ref. https://abcnews.go.com
It seems like besides the investigation going on about steroids, Chris and his wife argued constantly about the care of their 7 years old child who suffered of a rare case of autism and mental retardation. Chris wanted to be on the road while his wife demanded him to spend more time in the home taking care of their ill son. This was a great cause of friction in the marriage.

In the days before pro wrestler Chris Benoit killed his wife and child and hanged himself, the couple argued over whether he should stay home more to take care of their mentally retarded 7-year-old son, an attorney for the wrestling league said Wednesday. "I think it's fair to say that the subject of caring for that child was part of what made their relationship complicated and difficult, and it's something they were both constantly struggling with," said Jerry McDevitt, an attorney for World Wrestling Entertainment. "We do know it was a source of stress and consternation." McDevitt said the wrestling organization learned from the couple's friends and relatives that the Benoits were struggling with where to send the boy to school since he had recently finished kindergarten. He also said Benoit's wife didn't want him to quit wrestling, but she "wanted him to be at home more to care for the kid. She'd say she can't take care of him by herself when he was on the road." The child suffered from a rare medical condition called Fragile X Syndrome, an inherited form of mental retardation often accompanied by autism, McDevitt said. |

Well, this was all drug related and cold and calculating as well:

I agree JB this was well planned by Chris, he must have been pretty down to get to this point. I hope that the wrestling federation as well as the doctor are charged at the end of the investigation with criminal negligence or something. Chris did chose to commit the act but how much pressure was he under to take the riods and other drugs that obviously played havoc with his body.
