If you're a fan of WWE, then you know the controversy surrounding the death of Chris Benoit and his family. But the plot just got weirder.
Sometime on Friday, July 22, 2007, police say Chris Benoit strangled his wife and 7 year old son. On Sunday, he then hung himself in their Atlanta, GA home. The bodies were discovered on Monday, after co-workers became worried and called police. An apparent murder-suicide it seemed, although Benoit left no note, nothing to explain what had gone wrong.
On Thursday, federal drug agents raided the office of Dr. Phil Astin, Benoit's physician who had prescribed testosterone to Benoit in the past. No arrests were made and still no explanation for what happened. In fact, according to Astin, Benoit stopped by on Friday, what would have been just hours before the fatal events would be set in motion and seemed "fine". No signs of distress, no anger, nothing to alert the staff that there might be a problem.
And then, according to records released to police, Benoit called coworkers on Saturday to say that he would be late to the Beaumont, TX match. At first he had overslept, but then in another call, his wife and son were sick. Early Sunday morning, he sent text messages to the same coworkers, one of which stated "Dogs are in the enclosed pool area. Garage door is open." The rest just contained his home address.
If that isn't weird enough, police now say that Benoit's Wikipedia page was altered on Monday, hours before the bodies were discovered. The new posting said that Benoit had missed the weekend wrestling matches due to the death of his wife. The IP address shows to be registered in Stamford, CT, home to the WWE.
