0 5 - 0 9 - 2 0 0 7 Benoit's father, doctor speculate wrestler had brain damage Autopsy showed effect of multiple concussions MIKE MORRIS The Atlanta Journal-Constitution 09/05/07 The father of Chris Benoit and a doctor who examined brain matter from the former pro wrestler said Wednesday that brain damage caused by multiple concussions might have contributed to the deaths of Benoit, his wife and his son. Authorities say Benoit killed his wife, Nancy, on June 22 and then killed their son, Daniel, the next day before taking his own life at their Fayetteville home. Dr. Julian Bailes, chairman of the Department of Neurosurgery at Virginia University and a founding member of the Sports Legacy Institute, told ABC's Good Morning Steroid found in wrestler Benoit's body (18/7/2007) Report: Wrestlers ID'd In Benoit Doc Probe (13/7/2007) Doctor probed in 2nd wrestler's death (8/7/2007) Doctor linked to Chris Benoit charged with illegally distributing drugs (3/7/2007) Benoit took 'date-rape drug' (1/7/2007) Wrestling legend says Benoit had trouble with reality (29/6/2007) Authorities raid office of Benoit’s doctor (29/6/2007) Wikipedia entry noted death of Chris Benoit's wife hours before family's bodies found (28/6/2007) Tiny son got illegal boosts? (28/6/2007) Benoit strangled wife, smothered son (26/6/2007) America Wednesday that damage to the wrestler's brain was "striking and maybe shocking." Bailes showed images of Benoit's brain matter, and said the images showed "dead brain cells" and damage that mimicked that found in Alzheimer's patients. He said his study had found brain damage that was "very abnormal and something you shouldn't see in a 40-year-old." Asked whether previous concussions could have led to the damage, Bailes said, "We think we have great anatomical damage here from previous trauma," Bailes said. "Whether it had a psychiatric or behavioral expression, we certainly think that's most likely." Benoit's father, Michael Benoit, said his son suffered "quite a number" of concussions during his wrestling career. "Our research has shown that three major concussions may be the threshhold that serious later consequences may occur," Bailes said. The Sports Legacy Institute, a research group founded to study degenerative brain conditions caused by repetitive brain injuries, planned a late-morning press conference in New York to release the findings of the study on Benoit's brain. In July, a GBI toxicology report showed Benoit had highly elevated levels of testosterone. But medical experts warned against automatically assuming that steroids were responsible for Benoit's alleged murder of his wife and son. [Link]
