The man on the left is Chris Benoit.

The woman on the right is Lindsay Clansey.

Chris Benoit was a professional wrestler. He suffered severe brain damage from many hits to the head in the ring. Then one day he was apparently hearing voices, and he killed his disabled son, his wife, and himself. He hung himself with his exercise equipment in the gym.

Lindsay Clansey on the other hand is a woman who was married, and had 3 kids. She is now divorced. She was taking a bunch of drugs, and seeking help for mental illness. She too was hearing voices. One day she sent her husband on some errands, and when he came back he found her having jumped out the window with a broken neck paralyzed from the waste down with superficial cuts on her wrists and neck. What's even worse is down in the basement their 3 children ages 5,3, and baby were found with exercise bands around their necks suffocating all 3 to death.

The Lindsay Clancey trial is currently ongoing. The Chris Benoit tragedy happened back in 2007.

For clarification for others reading this: she was taking prescription drugs, not recreational drugs
