Why are people defending Chris Benoit?

Im not a wrestiling fan so i dont know much about him. but i saw on the news that he killed his wife and kid, then the coward off'd his self. And i see people here gong R.I.P. Chris and we will never forget you, BS this guy is coward and a murderer who went on a crazy steroid binge and didnt have to face justice and took the cowards way out.
