WWE News: Intimate details of Chris Benoit's diary revealed, including admiration for family Sep 14, 2007 - 12:04:33 PM
WSBTV.com reports that Chris Benoit's diary, says his father's attorney, shows signs of depression and dementia. The diary was found in the trash outside Benoit's Fayetteville home shortly after the deaths. Key exerpts:
--All the handwritten entries are addressed to Eddie Guerrero, a close wrestling friend of Benoit's, who died in 2005 of an enlarged heart.
--Carry Ichter, Benoit's father's attorney, states: "He was upset, very upset, about Eddie's death. He says in a number of places how much he loved Eddie and what dear friends they were. He also says at one point that, 'I will be with you soon,' so it appears as though he was having some thoughts about his own mortality."
--The entries also speak of Benoit's love and admiration for his wife, Nancy, and son, Daniel - both of whom he killed in the weekend of June 22.
--He spoke of the exhaustion, drudgery and loneliness of the road, but did not describe abusing drugs. "It's plain that he was depressed. It's plain that he was beginning to exhibit some of the signs of the dementia that's associated with the brain injuries he sustained because he talks in there about not being able to remember things," said Ichter. "Chris, at the end had become intensely paranoid, to the point that he would not take the same route to the airport on a consistent basis, to the point that he would not allow the family outside of the house."
