(AP story via The Drudge Report) - Pro wrestler Chris Benoit canceled a pay-per-view appearance at the "Vengeance" event in Houston because of "personal reasons" a day before he, his wife and their 7-year-old son were found dead in an apparent murder-suicide.
Details of the deaths "are going to prove a little bizarre" when released to the public, Fayette County District Attorney Scott Ballard told the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. Autopsies were scheduled Tuesday by the Georgia Bureau of Investigation in DeKalb County.
Authorities were investigating the deaths at a secluded Fayette County home as a murder-suicide and were not seeking any suspects.
Investigators believe Benoit, killed his wife and son over the weekend and then himself sometime Monday. The bodies were found Monday afternoon in three different rooms of the house on Green Meadow Lane, in a subdivision off a gravel road about two miles from the Whitewater Country Club.
Ballard told The Associated Press a gun was not used in any of the deaths. But he declined to say how the three died.
"We're pretty sure we know, but we want to confirm it with the crime lab," Ballard said early Tuesday.
Fayette County Coroner C.J. Mowell did not return phone calls. The answering service for his funeral home said he was out of town.
World Wrestling Entertainment said on its Web site that it asked authorities to check on Benoit and his family after being alerted by friends who received "several curious text messages sent by Benoit early Sunday morning."
Sheriff's Lt. Tommy Pope told WSB-TV that the three were found about 2:30 p.m., but he wouldn't release other details.
Stamford, Conn.-based WWE also said on its Web site it had been asked by authorities not to release further information on the deaths of Benoit, 40; his wife, Nancy, 43; and son, Daniel.
Benoit was born in Montreal. He was a former world heavyweight champion, Intercontinental champion and held several tag-team titles over his career. He was known by several names including "The Canadian Crippler."
"WWE extends its sincerest thoughts and prayers to the Benoit family's relatives and loved ones in this time of tragedy," the company said in a statement on its Web site.
Benoit had maintained a home in metro Atlanta from the time he wrestled for the defunct World Championship Wrestling.
The WWE canceled its live "Monday Night RAW" card in Corpus Christi, Texas, and USA Network aired a three-hour tribute to Benoit in place of the scheduled wrestling telecast.
UPDATE VIA TMZ.COM:
Several Atlanta-based law enforcement sources have told TMZ Benoit may have strangled his wife on Saturday, then smothered his son in his bed a day later. Investigators refuse to officially comment, pending final confirmation by the coroner on the cause and time of the deaths.
One source told TMZ that Benoit was texting friends during Sunday's WWE "Vengeance" Pay-Per-View program -- possibly watching the show with his son, who may have been alive at the time.
According to sources, Benoit then hanged himself Monday in a weight room inside the family home.

I happened to wake up in the middle of the night to breaking news of Paris Hilton walking out of jail. As her parents watched from a waiting black Cadillac Escalade, Paris walked to freedom like she was working a runway. She looked beautiful without make-up, and held her head high. She should stand proud to have served the time. Yeah Yeah, many said she"should have gone to jail a long time ago," it was not enough time for her, and she was being treated differently than a 'normal' citizen. So, if you are one who thinks she was treated differently, you are right!!! She got more time in jail than a "non-Paris Hilton" would have recieved. That is a fact! HER SENTENCE WAS EXCESSIVE FOR THE TYPE OF PROBATION VIOLATION.
But, the best part of this was when Paris gets in the SUV to leave Lynwood, she DOES NOT WEAR HER SEATBELT as the car drives away!!!! HA HA HA! Gotta love this girl!!!
Words of wisdom from Denise Richards: “I’m truly not one to give advice. I’m divorced and I stole my best friend’s husband.”
Good point. But Denise, you forgot my favorite. You've also thrown a laptop off a balcony and onto an old lady.

Rosario Dawson brings the sex appeal to the July issue of GQ in Britain. Lookin' good, Ro.
Somwhere at a Lord & Taylor, Mischa Barton went out to shill some Keds on a Saturday afternoon. Apparently there were huge banners all over the mall, and the PA frequently announced her appearance. But barely a visitor came by to say hello. Mischa's glory days may be nearing their end - that's what happens when the O.C. kills you off.

Late last night the folks at ParisExposed.com tagged Paris Hilton's house for a little free advertising. OK, that might be genius marketing, but don't you think it's going to be pretty easy to find the mastermind behind this for the criminal charges that follow? And that had to take at least a few minutes - where is the security, or the neighborhood watch people? It just seems like it was a little too easy to go spray painting on celebrities' houses.

Brian Grazer, who won an Oscar for 'A Beautiful Mind,' will be producing a feature length film chronicling Hugh Hefner's life. Hefner, 81, reportedly approved the project last week, after selling his life rights to Grazer a few years ago. Brett Ratner, director of the 'Rush Hour' movies, will be directing the Playboy movie,
"He broke all kinds of taboos, especially in sexuality. I want to show it all, from the First Amendment (guaranteeing free speech) struggles to his first orgy to the stroke in the 1980s that almost killed him.''
James Blunt has always annoyed the shit out of me, but at least now I have some confirmation that I'm not the only one. At first it was his whiney voice in combination with that hair. But then he started changing women like Britney changes wigs and was quoted by ASL saying,
“To all those bastards who don’t like my music – you’re all adults, you can switch your radio off. I don’t have to listen to it, I’m the one who sings it…. and it’s continued to get me laid."
Madonna has added another London property to her collection, bringing the total to 6. She spent six million pounds on the 10-bedroom townhouse that adjoins the 8-bedroom home where she lives now with her family. Two nearby houses are occupied by staff, and two more houses are in central London, one of which is used as her Kabbalah headquarters.
A source said: "Madonna has been a very shrewd investor in property - this is her fourth in the area. She knows the prices are significantly lower than in Mayfair but that the area is coming up. She has said she'd like to buy the whole street. She was really keen to get her hands on this house because she knows once Paul Davies starts developing properties an area can skyrocket in price. She was calling him for eight months and her initial offers were rejected, but after a series of meetings he agreed to sell."

Oops! Playboy was trying to fix up this Brazilian model, and they accidentally took her belly button, too! The mistake went unnoticed, and the magazine sold 605,000 copies that month. Readers were a quite angry when they found out the pictures weren't all natural. Although, is anything in Playboy all natural?

If you walk into a tattoo shop and your tattoo artist is smoking weed, maybe you should rethink your lifelong, body altering decision. Just ask Megan Fox, who stars in the new 'Transformers' movie.
"The guy was smoking weed while he tattooed me and he didn't do it correctly. Now it's nothing and I'm gonna get it removed. I was told he was a really amazing tattoo artist but he wasn't on his game that night. He was distracted."
Now this will make you laugh out loud. Foxy Brown broke up with her boyfriend at 5:30 a.m. this morning in Brooklyn because she found out he was a pimp. Having none of this, the ex called three of his ... working women ... to take care of her. The girls ripped out her weave, stole her handbag and $500, and pulled out her hearing aid! Whoa!
Foxy filed a complaint at the police station, and the police drove her around looking for the attackers. They found one, who was arrested.
This is way better than that Kristy Swanson showdown! Pulled out her hearing aid? How do you even do that - aren't those microscopic these days? You couldn't make this stuff up.

Rachel McAdams' dress slipped down a little too far on the red carpet. There was no Ryan Gosling there to lend a hand.
Note to self - when you go bra-less, careful not to wear a see through shirt.
You'd think the interviewer would tell Lily Allen that she's having an issue with her dress.
