Website Mystery Emerges in Wrestler Chris Benoit's Murder-Suicide

Fourteen hours before investigators discovered the bodies of Chris Benoit, his wife, Nancy, and their 7-year-old son, Daniel, someone updated the professional wrestler’s Wikipedia biography entry to include his wife’s death.
Benoit's page on Wikipedia, a reference site that allows users to add and edit information, was altered at 12:01 a.m. Monday, though authorities did not find the bodies until after 2 p.m. that afternoon.
The entry cited that the reason Benoit missed a match Saturday night was "stemming from the death of his wife Nancy.”
Wikipedia confirmed the time stamp’s authenticity. The entry was updated by someone using an IP address registered in Stamford, Connecticut, where World Wrestling Entertainment is based.
On Friday, an anonymous user with the same IP address confessed on WikiNews to making the changes to the entry, but explained that the edit was just a "terrible coincidence" fueled by rumors and gossip.
"I just can't believe what I wrote was actually the case, I've remained stunned and saddened over it," the alleged user wrote.
After Benoit, 40, asphyxiated his wife and son, he placed Bibles next to their bodies before hanging himself in his basement using a cable from a weight-machine.
Authorities found anabolic steroids in the wrestler’s home causing officials to wonder whether the drugs played a role in the killings, as some experts believe steroids cause paranoia, depression and violent outbursts known as "roid rage."
On Thursday, federal drug agents raided the office of Georgia doctor Dr. Phil Astin, who reportedly had prescribed testosterone to Benoit.
Hours before the raid, Astin told the Associated Press he had treated Benoit for low testosterone levels.
According to the AP, investigators were looking for Benoit's medical records to see whether he had been prescribed steroids and, if so, whether that prescription was appropriate.
As of Friday afternoon, Benoit's Wikipedia bio was blocked from users with a message: "Editing of this article by unregistered or newly registered users is currently disabled until July 8, 2007 due to vandalism."

I hate to admit that Benoit did what he did. Unfortunately, the evidence doesn't seem to lie. I would love to say that someone killed his family and him and set him up, but the evidence just doesn't add up to that. He obviously tied his wife up to decide what to do with her. I don't know whether she was leaving again or was having sex with someone else. He snapped, killed her, then realized what he did the next day. He decided to kill his son because he was mentally handicapped and noone could take care of him. So he offs his son. Then he makes peace with God, repenting, then kills himself.

Look People, Do you honestly believe that Chris Beniot really killed his family? And that means you Karen. Anyway I mean Beniot was a great guy I met him and he was the most awesome person ever and I don't beleive a man like beniot could ever kill his family. I think someone hung him and made him watch his family die.

In my opinion, I believe all this surrounding the Benoit's can only lead to one answer: Murder. Despite what many say, I think it is a great possibility that someone or some group of people had it in for the Benoits. I believe that Chris Benoit was set up and his whole family was murdered. The fact that there was no break in attempts, lead me to believe that it was someone who knew the Benoits. Plus, the fact that he was scheduled to be ECW Champion,I highly doubt it was Benoit's fault. The Benoits were murdered and I believe whoever did it, set him up!!!

This is all a load of crap, how can anyone think that Chris did this to his family. Look at the facts that have surfaced, nothing is adding up. I am telling you this is one bloody good set up to make him look bad. First of all why would Chris have to tie his wife up to kill her, second of all why the hell would he kill her one day, then his son the next and a day later himself. His dogs were like kids to him as well, so if he did this why didn't he kill them as well??????? So bloody what, he was on steroids, big whoop, like he is the only one to take steroids, I don't think the steroids had a damn thing to do with his death. This was done by someone who knew them personally and quite frankly I think it could have been a fellow wrestler. I also think Vince McMahon is a coward and a pig for the way he has handled this incident. I actually wouldn't put the murders past him, he is such an idiot. I hope that Chris and his family rest in peace and that the truth will come out. And to all of you who are condemning Chris without knowing the facts and without knowing the truth of what has happened you should be ashamed of yourselves, heaven forbid something like this had to happen to you or one of your loved ones.

I feel more investigating needs to be completed to prove what I feel that Chris Benoit did not kill his wife Nancy or little Boy Daniel and himself.
I think someone else killed all of them. Rest in Peace Chris Benoit Family.

I DO NOT BELIEVE THAT CHRIS BENOIT KILLED HIS FAMILY. YES HE WAS TAKING STEROIDS BUT PEOPLE DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW TOUGHT THIS BUSINESS IS. YOUR BODY HAS TO HAVE SOME RECOVERY. YES STEROIDS BUILD BULK AND STRENGHT BUT THEY ALSO ASSIST IN RECOVERY. I PRAY THAT GOD WILL ASSIST AND CLEAR CHRIS'S NAME. HE WAS ONE THE MOST PASSION MAN THAT LOVED THE BUSINESS AND HIS FAMILY. HOW MANY PEOPLE CAN GO BACK TO WORK AFTER A BROKEN NECK? DEFINATELY NOT ANY NORMAL ONES. MAY GOD GIVE THEIR SOULS PEACE.

So I noticed that Benoit wasn't showing up on Smackdown, Extreme Champoinship Wrestling, or Raw. It's been that way for a little while, and here, a month later, I here he killed his wife, son, and then Himself. I couldn't believe it, yet as I looked at a certain magazine while waiting in line at the SuperMarket in town...I was shocked. It says that he e-mailed WWE during the night of the supposive killing...I couldn't believe it. I just hope that he is mentioned on the WWE, even if it is a shocker to the fans who don't already know. But it's true...he was an *actor*. I never thought a man like him would do this. Wow...

Two possible scenarios:
--->The Man decided that it was time to make an example out of Chris and his family, so he drugged and/or secured Chris and made him watch his army slowly kill Nancy, think about if for a day, and then Daniel. They make Chris make phone calls between the murders. Finally, they hang him, making it look like a suicide. All payback and/or an example for the other players to remember...
--->Deciding that it was major payback time and/or major surprise time, Nancy dumped shocking news into Chris's lap. She told him of her new boyfriend (or new old boyfriend) and/or that she had had it with him and their son Daniel, so she fed Daniel rat poison. Instantly boiling with rage, Chris then swats Nancy aside and tries reviving Daniel, to no avail. He calls friend(s) seeking help, but alas, his calls go unanswered or fall on deaf ears. Frantic, he races to his son while Nancy mocks him. Then, unable to take Nancy's merciless badgering any longer, he kills her, shutting her up forever. Suddenly realizing what he has just done, he tosses her on the bed and races to his ill son who lapses into a coma. His entire world collapsing around him, Chis frantically tries reviving his son, but he has neither CPR training nor equipment, and he fails. Returning to his lifeless wife, he binds her on the bed as the police found her. He frantically searches the web and probes for anonymous medical help, to no avail. Hours later, with his son's condition worsening, Chris enters mourning, even cries, as he slips into a catatonic mental state. At last, he resolves to end both his and Daniel's misery forever.
He does the deed and leaves his Daniel's lifeless corpse for the police. In hours that follow he makes peace with himself, and with his maker, any internal saints, sinners, friends, family, and/or foes, living or deceased and at the end of a very formal, deliberate, cryptic ritual; he hangs himself.

Its too bad more and more wrestlers seem to be dying at 40 or less due to what they put in their bodies . There was a time wrestlers were fat and big , but natural big men .Superstar Billy Graham started a trend and he is broken down and sterile to boot .Natural training and nutrition still make for a great physique without polluting your body . Young wrestlers of the future , take this road , and live .

So, I AGREE WITH BRAD, you don't think it was suicide because Benoit was playing with poultry? Perhaps there is a chicken uprising, or Benoit would not hand over the steroids. Oh, do you mean FOUL play. Hmmmm.....nothing like another paranoid conspiracy theory. Scary to think that fourty years down the road people will still be debating who killed the wrestler. Apparently he is the new Marilyn Monroe. Course, maybe Tom Cruise's aliens did knocked him off. Hey, it could happen!

Chris murdering his family doesn't make much sense to me..When you read or hear about murders they are usually done within 1 day...He kills his wife friday,his son saturday,the himself on monday???Makes no sense !Another thing,,he loved his dogs as much as his family,,he didn't kill them... Very strange....Too weird..I guess nobody will ever know what really happened in his home. He was too strong of a man to have to tie up his wife to kill her...Nothing makes much sense out of this...
What bothers me is he was a wrestler and yet they took his stuff and name off of everything because he is being classified as being a "murderer".He was still a WWE wrestler and he won't be forgotten...
So what so you all think about the story on his kid? First they stated the child is mentally retarded..That X Syndrome whatever it is,,now they are trying to say there was nothing wrong with the child...Wow these cops are really stupid...They stated last week that the child was on meds for his condition and it was "legal" for the child..Now they are making fools out of themselves i think !

Maybe Chris did go into a "steroid rage" and kill his wife, the time span between her death and that of Daniels and Chris' could very well imply that after Chris realized what he had done he knew that he would be going to prison and his son would be orphaned. The time frame between deaths definitely shows a struggle with what to do. He then, as demented as it sounds, decided to kill his son and then later himself as opposed to going to prison or suicide and leaving his son without both parents. Is it logical, obviously not, but it makes more sense with the facts that we do have than to blame an ex-husband of 10 years where there is no proof of involvement. Lets not forget the strange phone calls and text messages that Chris made over the course of this tragedy. They were erratic, confusing, and desperate. A definite sign of a lost struggling soul. Will this hinder my love for wrestling, absolutely not, as any death, murder, or suicide of any individual, be it an entertainer, a politician, or a family in my home town it will once again leave me saddened, perplexed, and ever prayerful. As far as being ignorant for watching it all these years, I dare say that ignorance is not determined by what one watches on television, but what one does with what they watch. Ignornace abounds from the highest class to the lowest, it is the one trait in society that does not discriminate.
