Pro-wrestler, Chris Benoit gained 3638% in search activity from Monday to Tuesday due to some tragic occurences. Chris Benoit, his wife, and their seven-year-old son were found dead in their Fayetteville, Georgia home on Monday, June 25. It is being reported that the deaths were a murder-suicide; Benoit allegedly strangled his wife and suffocated his son before hanging himself with a weight pulley.

The murders were spread out over the weekend, with Benoit allegedly telling a co-worker that his family was sick from food poisoning. Many are speculating that the murders are related to steroid abuse, but the WWE released a statement saying that steroids "were not and could not be related to the cause of death," adding that Benoit had tested negatively for drug use on April 10. Searched for Chris Benoit over the past couple of days were 1518% more popular than searches for Vince McMahon and 53% more popular than searches for the WWE.

There is a particular sad irony related to these deaths when just last week, Vince McMahon faked his own death for the purpose of a storyline. On Monday night, the WWE aired a tribute to Chris Benoit before it had been revealed publically that he had murdered his wife and son. Vince McMahon apologized for airing the tribute show, and has vowed to no longer mention Benoit, and instead, support everyone who has been affected by the tragedy.
