the results came out, every one by know knows it was unfortunately this man..why'd he do it, we may never know, people say he was a deeply disturbed indivual, but it's just hard to believe, and that's not the chris anyone knew, im sure. Sure hope it wasn't a cover- up act to how he really felt, it is so ridiculously sad. I wish it wasn't Chris, and I don't want Chris to be cremated, now i can never visit his grave..I HATE THIS, im so messed up.

Great reporting. The reports I've read about this are all very sad. It's amazing how someone can snap and do such things.
Such a sad story with a even sadder out come. Great article.

I am not into wrestling, but am interested in hearing the rest when it comes out.
It is sad. I fear the rest of the story, which has yet to be released will be even sadder.
Such a sad story. I liked him. My friend is a WWE nut and I would watch it with her when I was over the house.
