This story is being posted not to sensationalize, but as a potential answer as to the questions of what pressures Nancy and Chris Benoit were facing that may have contributed to setting the stage for the tragedy of this past weekend. This is not meant as a reporting of an excuse. It is information that possibly will contribute to a larger picture.

A story written for a Vancouver, BC, Canadian newspaper claims a local woman says Chris Benoit’s son, Daniel, suffered from a rare illness known as Fragile X Syndrome. The article is located via link from WrestlingObserver.com. Though the report has no steam right now, in the interest of trying to research all aspects of this tragedy, I’ve found information on Fragile X Syndrome here.

Again, this is unconfirmed information, and not considered factual as of this moment. Earlier today it was reported investigators found tract marks on Daniel’s arm. It is believed at this point that his parents shot him up with HGH because he was undersized for his age, and that the decision to do so was unrelated to his death.
