Julian Bailes of the Sports Legacy Institute, "tests show that Benoit's brain was so severely damaged it resembled the brain of an 85-year-old Alzheimer's patient."
Bailes and his research team say that this damage was the result of a lifetime of chronic concussions and head trauma suffered while Benoit was in the wrestling ring.
Bailes and his research team took samples from Benoit's brain postmortem and compared these microscopic brain scans to those of a healthy brain.
They found that Benoit's brain showed an advanced form of dementia that appears on the brain scan as brown clumps or tangles. These brown spots are actually dead brain cells, killed off as a result of head trauma, said Bailes.
"It was extensive throughout Chris' brain," Bailes said. "This is something you should never see in a 40-year-old."
no doubt, all this will likely be ignored and steroid abuse or "roid rage" will be the culprit.
dreading this movie.
he was my absolute favourite wrestler.
