    Neurologists with the Sports Legacy Institute who examined Benoit's brain found it pockmarked throughout with evidence of chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE), whose symptoms include depression, dementia and erratic behavior.</p>

    CTE is believed to afflict 20 percent of professional boxers and was found in four professional American football players aged 36 to 50 who died in recent years -- two by suicide -- after showing erratic behavior, the institute said.</p>

    The private research institute's experts believe Benoit's brain damage "is enough to very likely explain aberrant behavior including suicide and even homicide," Julian Bailes, chief of neurosurgery at West Virginia University, told a news conference in New York.</div></p>

    I'm not sure how this story keeps getting more unreal, but it just does.</p>

    Not to make light, but I'm not surprised, his signature move was a headbutt off the top rope...
