FAYETTEVILLE, Ga. (AP) � The Fayette County Sheriff�s Office said Tuesday it has closed its investigation of the killings at pro wrestler Chris Benoit�s home last June.

The department said in a statement that investigators stand by the initial conclusion that Benoit killed his wife and 7-year-old son and then himself in their suburban Atlanta home.

The statement said there is no evidence �that indicates the presence of any other individual or individuals who contributed to the deaths of the three members of the Benoit family.�

Authorities have said Benoit, 40, strangled his wife with a cord, used a choke hold to strangle his son, placed Bibles next to the bodies and hanged himself on a piece of exercise equipment the weekend of June 22, 2007, in their Fayetteville home.

A medical examiner was unable to say if steroids played a role in the killings, though suspicions linking steroid use to the killings have lingered. Anabolic steroids were found in Benoit�s home and tests showed Benoit had roughly 10 times the normal level of testosterone in his system.

Benoit�s personal doctor, Phil Astin, faces federal charges of improperly prescribing medication to two patients other than Benoit. More charges are expected.

Authorities have said Astin prescribed a 10-month supply of anabolic steroids to Benoit every three to four weeks for a year leading up to the killings.
