Law enforcement authorities found out that pro wrestler Chris Benoit killed his wife, his son and himself on Monday afternoon. But more than 12 hours earlier, the news that wife Nancy Benoit was dead had been posted on Chris Benoit's Wikipedia entry. Now the person who wrote about Nancy Benoit's death on Wikipedia has made an anonymous comment saying it was just "an incredible coincidence."
The comment, posted from the same IP address as the edit to Benoit's Wikipedia page (meaning it was probably, but not definitely, posted by the same person) begins:
Hey everyone. I am here to talk about the wikipedia comment that was left by myself. I just want to say that it was an incredible coincidence. Last weekend, I had heard about Chris Benoit no showing Vengeance because of a family emergency, and I had heard rumors about why that was. I was reading rumors and speculation about this matter online, and one of them included that his wife may have passed away, and I did the wrong thing by posting it on wikipedia to spite there being no evidence. I posted my speculation on the situation at the time and I am deeply sorry about this, and I was just as shocked as everyone when I heard that this actually would happen in real life.
Police are investigating whether anyone knew of the Benoits' death before their bodies were found.

Two theories are now at work in regards to the entry; Benoit changed it himself through a WWE issued laptop (so the IP address registered in Connecticut) and now someone is covering it up. Or someone at WWE knew his wife had died and didn't act to call authorities, but instead updated a website. We are in the theatre of the absurd.

I don't believe this for a minute
I am more suspicious now than I had been in the first place.
I firmly believe there is more to this story than the police are telling OR the police are in the dark about as are we the public.
No dark secrets can stand up unde r the scrutiny of literally Millons of people, law enforcement officials, and I wouldn't be surprised if there were private investigations going on.
At least it won't stand up for very long if there is something being withheld either way I still feel sorry for the rest of the family and of course for the parents of both Chris and Nancy as well as Chrises other children they too are victims in these senseless acts.
Well that's my opinion on this whole mess anyway regardless of all the possible outcomes in the end.

Well, one can only speculate. I believe you are right about someone knowing previous to the murders, mlmintampa, but I don't think they posted this. It was either benoit or just a legitimate fan speculating. Benoit sent messages several times before choking out his family. He may have began to attempt leaving footprints and clues before abandoning them. He clearly commited the murders. However it is very stange for a fan to suspect that Benoit's wife died causing him to cancel a pay per view when he only mentioned a family emergency and only his son has a history of illness. And then to cover it up, that's coming from left field. that should be looked into because benoit has worked on the show with his family and every wrestler that has lost a loved one has made a public grievance or has it announced on the show via vince mcmahon. Any fan would know that so I would really like to see who really wrote and then changed this message.
