Alberta - Chris Benoit's former wife, Martina Benoit, said the star wrestler "was the most loving person anyone could imagine. I love him."
Reached at her home in Alberta, Canada, Benoit called reporting of the killings in Fayette County "crap."
She did not elaborate before ending the call.
WWE superstar Chris Benoit, 40, killed his wife, Nancy, and their seven-year-old son, Daniel, before committing suicide, according to the Fayette County Sheriff's Department.
He had two other children with Martina Benoit, who has not remarried.
Chris Benoit married Nancy Benoit, 43, in 2000.
Authorities said Benoit strangled his wife and possibly killed his son in a chokehold.
Daniel had Fragile X Syndrome, a mental disability. Benoit strangled himself using cord attached to a weight machine.
Chris Benoit will have a private service in his hometown of Ardrossan, where his parents and two children live.
A memorial service for Nancy Benoit and Daniel is scheduled for July 14 in Daytona Beach, Florida, where her parents, Maureen and Paul Toffoloni, live.
