Sandra Toffoloni, die Schw\u00e4gerin des 2007 verstorbenen Chris Benoit und Schwester der ebenfalls 2007 verstorbenen Nancy Benoit, hat nun in einem Interview mit The2Counter.com ihr langj\u00e4hriges Schweigen gebrochen und \u00fcber die Zeit mit Chris Benoit und dessen Gesundheitszustands kurz vor seinem Tod gesprochen.<\/p>\n
Dort gab sie bekannt, dass sich Chris Benoit nach dem Tod von Eddie Guerrero im Jahr 2005 bereits im Jahr 2006 stark ver\u00e4nderte und erste Anzeichen von Paranoia gezeigt habe, bevor ihm dann der Tod von „Sensational“ Sherri Martell Mitte Juni 2007 endg\u00fcltig aus der Bahn geworfen und schwere Depressionen bei ihm ausgel\u00f6st habe, die ihn letztendlich zum Doppelmord \/ Selbstmord getrieben haben.<\/p>\n
Nach dem Tod von Eddie Guerrero im Jahr 2005 soll Chris Benoit sogar dar\u00fcber nachgedacht haben, die WWE zu verlassen und seine eigene Wrestlingschule zu er\u00f6ffnen, doch die WWE konnte ihm zum Bleiben \u00fcberreden, indem sie ihm einen gro\u00dfen Push sowie einen weiteren World Title Run versprochen haben, wodurch Chris Benoit immer h\u00e4rter trainierte und seinen K\u00f6rper dadurch immer mehr in Mitleidenschaft gezogen wurde.<\/p>\n
Weiter gab sie bekannt, dass ihr ein Arzt nach der Autopsie des verstorbenen Chris Benoit mitgeteilt habe, dass Chris Benoit jahrelang abh\u00e4ngig von Drogen, Steroiden, Alkohol und Schmerzmitteln gewesen sei und dass dessen Herz dreimal so gro\u00df gewesen w\u00e4re, wie ein normales menschliches Herz und er deshalb auch von seinem Selbstmordzeitpunkt aus gesehen innerhalb der n\u00e4chsten 10 Monate sowieso gestorben w\u00e4re.<\/p>\n
Chris Benoit t\u00f6tete bekanntlich seine Frau Nancy Benoit am Freitagabend, den 22. Juni 2007, indem er sie mit einem Kabel erdrosselte, bevor er am darauffolgenden Samstagmorgen, den 23. Juni 2007 seinen siebenj\u00e4hrigen Sohn Daniel Benoit in dessen Kinderzimmerbett erw\u00fcrgte und dann schlie\u00dflich am Sonntag, den 24. Juni 2007 Selbstmord beging, indem er sich selbst in seinem Trainingsraum im Keller des Hauses erh\u00e4ngte.<\/p>\n
Hier die Highlights des besagten Interviews im englischen Original:<\/p>\n
Reports of Chris Benoit’s breakdown was caused by Concussion Syndrome:<\/strong> „You know, evidence showed that on the Sunday before he committed suicide, he was booking flights to get to the show he was scheduled to appear on in Beaumont, Texas. This shows that there was a moment, however brief, that he thought he could get away with it. I don\u2019t believe in the brain damage theory. He killed 2 people and believed he could go wrestle. The concussion theory doesn\u2019t really stick with me.“<\/em><\/p>\n On Chris Benoit only having less then ten months left to live:<\/strong> „Yes, my brother-in-law had concussions, he hit his head for a living and I understand that. But way beyond that, he had a very serious drug and steroid problem. Unfortunately, a lot of athletes still do to this day. It\u2019s spiraling out of control. The medical examiner told us after the autopsy that Chris was on his way to death within 10 months. His heart was huge, about 3 times normal size, and it was ready to blow up at any moment.“<\/p>\n Effects that Eddie Guerrero and other wrestler’s deaths had on the Benoit family:<\/strong> „…Chris had suffered multiple losses of friends. Eddie Guerrero\u2019s death in 2005 shocked us all, no one was prepared for that. It was devastating for Nancy but it was devastating for Chris on a whole other level. Eddie\u2019s passing came after a long line of huge losses and Chris was in a state of perpetual bereavement … The final blow came in mid-June 2007, just a few days before everything happened, when Sherri Martel passed away. That devastated Nancy just as much as Eddie\u2019s death had devastated Chris.“<\/p>\n Chris planning to leave WWE following Eddie Guerrero’s death:<\/strong> „After Eddie passed away, Chris and Nancy discussed the possibility of Chris leaving the WWE and starting his own wrestling school. As a matter of fact, it had become more than a possibility. A business plan had been developed and merchandise had been designed. However, the WWE was prepared to give Chris a big push and put him into another championship match so Chris began training harder and pushing his body further. Chris did a lot of self-medicating.“<\/p>\n (Quelle: The2Counter.com)<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Sandra Toffoloni, die Schw\u00e4gerin des 2007 verstorbenen Chris Benoit
