WRESTER Chris Benoit suffered brain damage from his years in the ring which could help explain why he killed his wife, his son and himself, a doctor who studied Benoit's brain said yesterday.
The analysis by doctors affiliated with the Sports Legacy Institute suggested that repeated concussions could have contributed to the killings at Benoit's home.
The wrestler's father Michael Benoit said yesterday he knows his son had concussions because Benoit told him so.
He does not know of any medical records kept by the wrestling league to support the diagnosis.
Steroid use has lingered as a theory for the killings after anabolic steroids were found in Benoit's home and tests showed he had about 10 times the normal level of testosterone in his system when he died.
The institute researches the long-term effects of concussions.
