Just after 6, a WWE rep called Benoit and said he’d never make it to Beaumont in time, but should head to Houston for a Sunday event. Benoit apologized, saying he had a family emergency.

That was apparently the last time anyone heard Benoit’s voice. Three minutes later, the WWE rep called back to confirm the travel plans, but got voicemail. Police say Benoit most likely killed Daniel on Saturday.

Benoit’s final communication came in the form of the cryptic text messages he sent coworkers in the early hours of Sunday morning, before he hanged himself in his home gym.
