Doctors say brain damage may have led former pro wrestler Chris Benoit to kill his wife, son and himself at their suburban Atlanta home in June. Specialists with the Sports Legacy Institute examined Benoit’s brain matter and say they found damage from multiple concussions. Another brain expert says while the brain injury Benoit suffered can cause depression and irrational behavior, there’s no way to know if that’s why he did it. Other tests show Benoit had roughly 10 times the normal level of testosterone in his system when he died.
