What exactly went on inside the house of Chris Benoit during those last fateful hours?  The killings stunned fans of the entertainment sport, World Wrestling Entertainment, and even casual observers wonder how the man known on the mat as the Canadian Crippler could reach such an awful decision.

Does anyone really know?  Probably and one magazine claims a source has revealed that the tormented wrestler spent his last hellish hours agonizing over whether to kill his son, praying for salvation, drowning in grief and firing off bizarre text messages to pals.

An investigation by the National Enquirer's investigative team uncovered what they report as the "real" story of what happened on the tragic weekend that superstar wrestler Benoit snapped - killing his family and then himself.  Many have blamed steroids but the report claims that there was booze involved. 

The online item claims that Chris was guzzling beer and wine in agony and the popular grappler made sad, slurred phone calls to friends as he prepared to snuff out his life. "When he killed his wife, his life was over and he knew it," an insider told the weekly magazine. "But he still had his beloved son, and who would take care of him? That's why it all ended in the ultimate tragedy."

The magazine reports that investigators have now reconstructed in detail how they believe the horror unfolded in the Benoits' once-peaceful dream house — resulting in the death of Chris' wife Nancy, 43, and son Daniel, 7.
