Mixed Martial Arts Fighter, Wife Found Dead (Murder Suicide)
In the arena of mixed martial arts, Justin Levens was known as the "Executioner," a fighter who took on some of the sport's fiercest competitors.

Now friends, fellow fighters and police are left wondering what happened after the bodies of Levens, 28, and wife Sarah McLean-Levens, 25, were found yesterday in their California home in what police say is an apparent murder-suicide.

Orange County Sheriff's Department spokesman Jim Amormino told ABCNews.com today that officers were called to Levens' condo in an upscale Laguna Niguel neighborhood around 2:30 p.m. on Wednesday after McLean-Levens' mother found the couple dead in bed.

Both were found with a single gunshot wound to the head and while it's still an "active investigation," Amormino said, police believe Levens is the likely shooter.

Amormino said police were unsure how long the couple had been dead, but "it appeared at least a couple of days."

1. Didn't the same thing happen to a pro wrestler and his family a while ago?
And weren't 'roids suspected as a possible cause?

:(

2. Repeated head injuries
were what happened to Chris Benoit, and consequently his wife and child.

His Dad is now working to prevent more tragedies - the NFL has several veterans in bad shape.
