[Font size=3 face=c color=Blue]Wikipedia posting is eerie twist in Benoit case
Web site posting referred to wife's death 14 hours before cops found her

Updated: 8:39 p.m. ET June 27, 2007

ATLANTA - Investigators are looking into who altered pro wrestler Chris Benoit’s Wikipedia entry to mention his wife’s death hours before authorities discovered the bodies of the couple and their 7-year-old son.

Benoit’s Wikipedia entry was altered early Monday to say that the wrestler had missed a match two days earlier because of his wife’s death.

A Wikipedia official, Cary Bass, said Thursday that the entry was made by someone using an Internet protocol address registered in Stamford, Conn., where World Wrestling Entertainment is based.

An IP address, a unique series of numbers carried by every machine connected to the Internet, does not necessarily have to be broadcast from where it is registered. The bodies were found in Benoit’s home in suburban Atlanta, and it’s not known where the posting was sent from, Bass said.

Benoit strangled his wife and son during the weekend, placing Bibles next to their bodies, before hanging himself on the cable of a weight-machine in his home, authorities said. No motive was offered for the killings, which were discovered Monday.

Also Thursday, federal drug agents said they had raided the west Georgia office of a doctor who prescribed testosterone to Benoit.

The raid at Dr. Phil Astin’s office in Carrollton began Wednesday night and concluded early Thursday, said agent Chuvalo Truesdell, a spokesman for the Drug Enforcement Administration. No arrests were made.

Hours before the raid, Astin told The Associated Press he had treated Benoit for low testosterone levels, which he said likely originated from previous steroid use.

Among other things, investigators were looking for Benoit’s medical records to see whether he had been prescribed steroids and, if so, whether that prescription was appropriate, according to a law enforcement official speaking on condition of anonymity because records in the case remain sealed.

Astin prescribed testosterone for Benoit, a longtime friend, in the past but would not say what, if any, medications he prescribed when Benoit visited his office Friday.

State medical records show that Astin’s privileges were suspended for three months in 2001 at a Georgia hospital for “reasons related to competence or character.”

Astin did not return calls to his cell phone from the AP on Thursday.

Anabolic steroids were found in Benoit’s home, leading officials to wonder whether the drugs played a role in the killings. Some experts believe steroids cause paranoia, depression and violent outbursts known as “roid rage.”

Fayette County District Attorney Scott Ballard said in a statement Thursday that he could not immediately comment on the raid.

Benoit’s page on Wikipedia, a reference site that allows users to add and edit information, was updated at 12:01 a.m. Monday, about 14 hours before authorities say the bodies were found. The reason he missed a match Saturday night was “stemming from the death of his wife Nancy,” it said.

Reporters informed the Fayette County district attorney’s office of the posting Thursday, and the agency forwarded the information to sheriff’s investigators, who are looking into it, a legal assistant said in an e-mail to the AP.

WWE attorney Jerry McDevitt said that to his knowledge, no one at the WWE knew Nancy Benoit was dead before her body was found Monday afternoon. Text messages released by officials show that messages from Chris Benoit’s cell phone were being sent to co-workers a few hours after the Wikipedia posting.

WWE employees are given WWE e-mail addresses, McDevitt said, though he did not know whether Chris Benoit had one.

“I have no idea who posted this,” McDevitt said. “It’s at least possible Chris may have sent some other text message to someone that we’re unaware of. We don’t know if he did. The phone is in the possession of authorities.”

On Thursday afternoon, the Wikipedia page about Benoit carried a note stating that editing by unregistered or newly registered users was disabled until July 8 because of vandalism.

In other developments Thursday, Ballard told the AP that 10 empty beer cans were found in a trash can in the Benoit home. An empty wine bottle was found a few feet from where Benoit hanged himself, Ballard said.

It could take several weeks for toxicology tests to be completed on Benoit to see what substances, if any, were in his system.

Benoit took four months off from work in 2006 for undisclosed personal reasons, McDevitt said.

“He was feeling depressed, that kind of thing,” McDevitt said.

In the days before the killings, Benoit and his wife argued over whether he should stay home more to take care of their mentally retarded 7-year-old son, according to an attorney for the WWE wrestling league.

The child had a rare medical condition called Fragile X Syndrome, an inherited form of mental retardation often accompanied by autism.

Chris Benoit’s father, Michael Benoit, declined to comment on the slayings when reached Thursday by telephone in Alberta, Canada. Funeral arrangements were incomplete.[/font]

tamra,I read about that! crazy...the bad thing is that htis is going to blow over and Vince and the WWE will keep doing what they've been doing for years.

Murphdogg,
It's mental illness plain and simple. Bet this guy was a nice kid, loved his parents, country and all things we'd say was normal. Something just stopped working for him in his brain. Chemicals didn't get to where they were suppose to go, long term depression who knows but something happened to this guy and many like him that has very little to do with what we consider a good guy. People break down where they aren't thinking like they once did. Reality and their emotions become a fine line. I'm not just talking about him and what he did. That's why I have more sympathy for people who do horrible things like this. It's easy to say kill the fucker but that's an easy and in some cases immoral answer to a hugely complicated issue.

[Murphdogg]

walrusjk, and that is what is so hard, when ever report I've ever heard about this guy is he was a class act, he was one of the most respected wrestlers in the business, right up there with undertaker and Ric Flair.

Murphdogg,
you know mental illness has been on my mind , you have andrea yeats who was clearly insane and unstable and whos dr took her off medication, as well i have a friend who is schizophrenic and she to has had bouts of "the voices" telling her we wanted to hurt her babies, or telling her to hurt them ect. but if chris had something like this and didnt have support then he would have had no one telling him it was delusion and not reality ... could it be he had issues his Dr ignored?

Murphdogg,
The test results are in and the suspicions confirmed: Chris Benoit had steroids in his system when he murdered his wife and child and then took his own life.

The anxiously awaited toxicology findings were announced Tuesday by Dr. Kris Sperry, chief medical examiner for the Georgia Bureau of Investigation.

While the only steroid found in Benoit's was testosterone, the levels were elevated enough to indicate he was injecting it shortly before he died, Sperry said. But he cautioned that the results do not indicate the kind of abuse that may have triggered so-called 'roid rage.

"There's no way to know how this could’ve affected Chris’ behavior," Sperry told reporters at a press conference. "With respect to testosterone...There is nothing conclusive that could be said."

Sperry cited conflicting data from studies regarding how elevated levels of testosterone might contribute to altered behavior. He also noted that Benoit might have been taking testosterone just as easily for "testicular deficiency."

Benoit's personal physician, Dr. Phil Astin, has been charged with improperly prescribing drugs to patients other than the former wrestling champ. He has pleaded not guilty. Astin came under scrutiny from federal officials after admitting to prescribing testosterone to Benoit.

There was no immediate comment from Benoit's employers at World Wrestling Entertainment, who have attempted to downplay the steroid angle since the murder-suicide. WWE officials have also insisted that Benoit tested clean for steroids as recently as April.

Meanwhile, the coroner said "highly elevated levels" of the prescription drug Xanax were discovered in the body of Benoit's seven-year-old son, Daniel.

"There’s clear evidence to me that Daniel Benoit was sedated at the time he was killed," added Sperry. "That's an unusual finding."

Sperry also said the child appeared normal and that it was impossible to conduct any kind of genetic test to determine whether Daniel suffered from fragile X syndrome. A WWE official claimed the boy required growth hormones for the disorder—something vociferously denied by surviving family.

Three prescription drugs were also found in the body of Nancy Benoit: hydrocodone, hydormorphone and Xanax, but all were at "therapeutic levels" and were likely prescribed for orthopedic ailments.

Fayette County District Attorney Scott Ballard said the investigation will remain "ongoing" to determine why the 40-year-old pro grappler strangled his 43-year-old wife to death in their suburban Atlanta home, and then smothered his son the next day before hanging himself.




Now call me crazy im sure people will but i still do not think this is all chris ! If it was rage he would not have drugged his son , he would have just done it , and what if just if Nacey drugged thier son .. is it so far fetched to think that she would know to use a sleeper hold??
As well maybe just maybe they were NOT alone in that house their was text sent from both his and her phone both saying what the adress was ... was this away of trying to get help?? Why would he kill his son and risk leaving his wife alive for a whole nother day knowing she could gain acess to authorities some how some way ... None of this makes any fucking sense and I know the logical thing is to say Chris went nutts and took his family with him but...
