The WWE has released a press release regarding the Chris Benoit double-murder-suicide over the weekend.
The company said they are “concerned with the sensationalistic reporting and speculation being undertaken by some members of the media.”
According to the press release, the murder of both Benoit’s wife and son was likely deliberated and not in an act of rage.
The press release also says there was no evidence of illegal drugs in Benoit’s house and he tested clean for steroids in mid-April.

After the facts surrounding the case were made known, WWE removed “all tributes to Chris Benoit” both on-air and on the web.
Vince McMahon also made a brief introduction before the WWE ECW show last night, dedicating the show to everyone affected by the tragedy and saying there would be no further mention of Benoit after his statement.
It appears that other than the above links, there are no other pages for Chris Benoit anywhere on the WWE website. A search of his name brings up a number of pages but none of the links are valid anymore.
