This is about as dark as it gets. Police have released some of the details surrounding the deaths of former WWE superstar Chris Benoit, his wife, and his young son, and they are simply gruesome. Benoit reportedly asphyxiated his wife and son Friday night, and then hung himself some time Saturday.

A Bible was found next to each of the bodies, and both prescription drugs and steroids were found in the house.

Police have not speculated about a motive or what role drugs and steroids might have played in this tragedy, although a toxicology report will no doubt answer some questions.

TMZ has footage of the police press conference here.

It’s a bad time to be a former WWE wrestler. Only days after "Sensational" Sherri Martel was found dead, WWE superstar Chris Benoit was found dead along with his wife and young son. All three bodies were discovered in their Atlanta home this afternoon.

Police have not released any details about the deaths, which have to have some current wrestlers nervous. Benoit was scheduled to appear at a pay-per-view event last night but was a no-show due to a "family emergency," according to the WWE.
