How awful. I could never understand how a person could do such a thing.

There's too much premeditation for that. What I've read said both bodies were bound with Bibles left by their sides.

How prescient does my "Are people who believe in God insane?" thread seem now?

I for one am waiting for the Meta Forum to open before I make any comment.

The preceding was not a comment, it was only a meta-comment.

That's a tragic story. It goes to show that people really don't like it when pro wrestlers do things that aren't scripted.

Piffle.

Psychotics do things that appear "premeditated" all the time.

It was funny how the wwe's site was one paragraph about 'you will be missed' and then 10 paragraphs why it couldn't have been roid rage, why the media is lying and all that kind of stuff. Very touching memorial speech for a guy who worked for you for so long.

Anyway, these are weird and sick things. It's always the father of the family as well. Takes out everyone. Why? Why everyone? If YOU have problems, if the family has problems, why would you kill them all first? We also have these things every now and then, and it's always like the family had huge debt, so the dad just one night decided to end it all for everyone. Makes no sense really. Then again person doing that is not the most reasonable to begin with.

In these types of things, I usually have no sympathy for the killer, but the victims, his wife and his child. It's even more sick to be snuffed by your own blood than by some random freak IMO.

Mostly they say it's too early to sure roid rage for sure yet.

[bipolarbear]

Yeah maybe they were having kinky sex, but then he went to whip her but reared back too hard, hit himself and triggered a massive roid rage throttling his wife.

Actually, don't steroids contribute to other problems like depression? Could this have exacerbated some preexisting problem there and caused him to kill em' all?

I saw an article earlier today stating that anabolic steroids were found in his home, so it's a safe bet he was using them. Initial reports said that the wife and son died well before he did, so it's possible that he came down and began to feel remorseful. Contemplating his own suicide, the placement of Bibles beside their bodies may have occurred sometime after their deaths and might have been his way of participating in putting them to rest knowing that he would not be alive to attend their funerals once he made up his mind to hang himself.
