CBS Philadelphia reported police are investigating an apparent-murder suicide in Chester County, Pennsylvania after a man and woman were found dead in their home on the morning on June 1. The man was identified by people in the wrestling business as 52 year old Chuck (Charles) Williams, known in the indies as Rockin' Rebel.

Rebel is a Northeast indie wrestling veteran and is called a "Northeast Legend" by some. He is best known for his work with CZW and ECW. Rebel, who was inducted into the Mid-Penn Wrestling Alliance Hall of Fame in 2015, was trained by WWE Hall of Famers The Rock 'n' Roll Express, and made his pro wrestling debut back in 1988.

Previously, there were no official details on what happened or confirmation of the deceased, but the West Goshen Township Police Department have now released a statement confirming Williams shot his wife and then himself.
