CBS Philadelphia reports that police are investigating an apparent-murder suicide in Chester County, Pennsylvania after a man & woman were found dead in their home this morning. The man has been identified as 52 year old Chuck Williams, known in the indies as Rockin' Rebel. PWInsider has also confirmed Rebel's passing.
Rebel is best known for his work with CZW and ECW. He was inducted into the Mid-Penn Wrestling Alliance Hall of Fame in 2015. Rebel was trained by WWE Hall of Famers The Rock 'n' Roll Express and made his pro wrestling debut back in 1988.
There's still no official word on details of the incident. Regarding social media reports on who committed the murder, it should be noted that police have not revealed those details as of this writing. PWInsider notes that people in the wrestling world are saying Rebel was responsible but one Twitter user close to a West Chester police officer claimed the wife was responsible. Again, any reports on who is responsible for the incident should be taken as unconfirmed until authorities release their findings.
The police were called to a home near Isabel Lane & North Five Points Road just after 6:30am Friday morning and that's where family members found the bodies. The incident is still under investigation but the preliminary investigation points to a murder-suicide. Police say there are no outstanding suspects and no danger to the public.
ABC Philadelphia spoke to one neighbor who told them that the family was quiet and kept to themselves. The neighbor noted that the couple rarely went outside and that police had been called to the home numerous times. She also said she often saw kids playing in the backyard.
"There were always problems over there. The police were there a lot," neighbor Stephanie Seiple said.
