The medical examiner for the Georgia Bureau of Investigation has made his statement regarding the toxicology reports done on the Benoit family. Let’s take them one by one.

Nancy Benoit - Nancy had a “theraputic” level of Xanax in her system. She also had a “theraputic” level of hydrocodone, a pain releaver, in her system. The doctor has said that the medication levels are normal for a woman who had the amount of surgery and therapy she had. There was a high blood alcohol level, but whether they were from true alcohol being in her system or from the process of the body breaking down, he is unable/unwilling to say.

Daniel Benoit - Daniel had a very high level of Xanax in his system. The doctor believes that this shows that he was sedated at the time of his death, which, in his words, “is an unusual finding”, as Xanax is not supposed to be given to any child. There was not enough urine to check for any human growth hormone, so he could not comment on if Daniel was being given any human growth hormone. As for the Fragile X syndrome, the medical examiner said it would be impossible to discover if Daniel had Fragile X syndrome now, as you need living tissue in order to tell. He did say that nothing else looked off.

Chris Benoit - Chris had Xanax in his system - a “theraputic level” according to the doctor. There were NO anabolic steroids in his system, but there was a very high level of testosterone, which shows that he has been using steroids, although it is impossible to say how much and for how long. The normal male testosterone at 6 - Chris’s testosterone level was at 59. He did not say if there was any alcohol in his system, so a lack of discussing it means that there was probably not.

A medical examiner on Fox news has stated that Steroids have a very short half-life - that it takes around a half an hour, to an hour and a half to break into half, and another half an hour to hour and a half in order to be thoroughly out of the system.

More as it becomes available.
