WSB-TV Channel 2 out of Atlanta, Georgia is currently running a story on the diary kept by the late Chris Benoit prior to his death this past June. The report features comments from Chris’ father Michael’s attorney, Carry Ichter. The diary was given to Chris by his wife Nancy following the death of his best friend Eddie Guerrero. It was said that there were several entries written as letters to Guerrero.
Ichter commented, "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,"
According to WSB-TV’s report, "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," said Ichter. "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. 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."
The diary was found in the trash outside of Chris Benoit’s home following the discovery of the deceased Benoit family. Ichter is representing Michael Benoit in the legal entanglement over the heirs of Benoit’s estate as neither Nancy nor Chris left a will at the time of the family tragedy.
