Autopsy revealed that Benoit's brain was in catastrophically bad condition, and that it resembled the brain of an 85-year old Alzheimer's patient. This has been explained as due to being from multiple untreated concussions suffered during his wrestling career; he had been known frequently take unprotected chair shots to his head, which is considered very unwise in professional wrestling. Other tests conducted on Benoit's brain tissue revealed severe chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE) and damage to all four lobes of the brain and brain stem. Benoit's father said that brain damage may have been the leading cause of the double murder-suicide.
