– Atlanta WSB-TV featured a story today on the diary of Chris Benoit kept prior to his death. Benoit's father Michael Benoit, and his attorney Carry Ichter commented on the findings.

The diary was given to Chris after the death of Eddie Gurerrero, there were many entries written as letters to Guerrero.

"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," said Ichter.

The report also states that there were multiple entries in the diary showing his admiration for his family. He also wrote on the exhaustion, drudgery, and loneliness of the road.

"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."
