It just keep getting stanger
In a very sad story, last Friday Professional Wrestler Chris Benoit allegedly strangled his wife, Nancy, 43, and later asphyxiated his 7-year-old son, Daniel, then hanged himself using a weightlifting machine cord at their Fayette County, Ga., home. This could not be a more shocking or bizzarre story and many have voiced blame on the reported steriod use by these kind of entertainers.To that end, yesterday federal drug enforcement investigators raided the office of focusing on whether Benoit's medical records showed he was prescribed steroids, and if so, whether the prescription was necessary. Phil Astin, Benoit's Carrollton, Ga.-based physician, did state that met with the World Wrestling Entertainment star last Friday and previously had prescribed him testosterone to boost levels of the hormone that were in decline. Prescription anabolic steroids were found inside Benoit's home by police on Monday, and Benoit was listed as a customer of a Florida clinic whose owners pleaded guilty to illegal steroid distribution this year.
Now for the truly bizarre part of this sad story, an anonymous user edited the biography of the wrestler on on Wikipedia — the online open source encyclopedia — Monday at 12:01 a.m. The Monday morning posting said: "Chris Benoit was replaced by Johnny Nitro for the [ECW] Extreme Championship Wrestling Championship match at Vengeance, as Benoit was not there due to personal issues, stemming from the death of his wife Nancy." Authorities discovered the bodies at the Benoit's Green Meadow Lane home that afternoon, at 2:30 p.m. That is more than more 14 hours before police discovered the three bodies at the pro wrestler's Fayette County home. Adding to the mystery, the anonymous poster used a computer whose internet protocol address was traced to Stamford, Conn., where the headquarters for Benoit's employer, for World Wrestling Entertainment, is located.
Bizarre just doesn't seem to begin to describe this tragedy.

A bizarre but simple explanation: Benoit used VPN from his Georgia home through WWE's network to update his Wikipedia entry between the time he killed his family and himself. VPN and using WWE's network isn't the bizarre part, but worrying about your Wikipedia update as a last act is definitely strange!

His poor family. Why the 7yr old? You are right J-man, definitely the VPN manuver from his GA home. I guess he wanted to tie up loose ends and make sure Johnny Nitro was next in line. If I were the police, I would check Johnny Nitro for steroid use too. I think the whole wrestling thing should go away but that's just me. I guess when this happens more than three times they may think about it. Unfortunately it will be too late for another kid and his mom ;(
