Benoit Brain Tests
The double-murder suicide continues to baffle those who knew Chris Benoit. His father, Michael, was contacted by a former pro wrestler suggesting they test Benoit's brain to determine if conccussions may have contributed to his condition and the incidents. According to recent scans of Chris Benoit's brain, the former pro wrestler suffered from multiple concussions.
From ABC News:
"The tests, conducted by Julian Bailes of the Sports Legacy Institute, show that Benoit's brain was so severely damaged it resembled the brain of an 85-year-old Alzheimer's patient.
Bailes and his research team say that this damage was the result of a lifetime of chronic concussions and head trauma suffered while Benoit was in the wrestling ring."
"Bailes and his research team had also analyzed the brains of former NFL players such as Andre Waters and Terry Long, who both committed suicide. Bailes and his colleagues theorize that repeated concussions can lead to dementia, which can contribute to severe behavioral problems."

that's horrible! but at the same time it's his own fault for allowing the physical abuse to take it's toll on him. he should have been able to realize that enough was enough and retired or recieved an "injury" so he could have time to back off. i loved Beniot, still do, but i think he should have been more careful. then again, i don't know what he did in his personal time, meaning that i don't know exactly what medical help he went through. i'm just so sad that this happened when it seems to me that it could have been prevented
