Why did Chris Benoit hang himself?

Answer 1

Tests were conducted on Benoit's brain by Julian Bailes, the head of neurosurgery at West Virginia University , and results showed that "Benoit's brain was so severely damaged it resembled the brain of an 85-year-old Alzheimer's patient."He was reported to have had an advanced form of dementia, similar to the brains of four retired NFL players who had suffered multiple concussions, sank into depression, and harmed themselves or others. Bailes and his colleagues at West virginia University concluded that repeated concussions can lead to demenita, which can contribute to severe behavioral problems..

this may have been caused him to hang himself and kill his wife Nancy Benoit and his son Daniel Christopher Benoit before hanging himself
