From the AJC in Atlanta:
 
DEA, sheriff's officials raid office of Benoit doctor
 
Published on: 06/28/07
 
Federal drug agents and sheriff's officials raided the office of pro wrestler Chris Benoit's personal physician in search of records and other items in a warrant.
 
Agent Chuvalo Truesdell, a spokesman for the Drug Enforcement Administration in Atlanta, said today that the raid at Dr. Phil Astin's office in Carrollton, in West Georgia, began last night and concluded early this morning.
 
Truesdell said a search warrant obtained by the Fayette County Sheriff's Department in connection with the Benoit investigation was executed there.
 
He said records and other items were being sought, but he said he could not immediately be more specific. Truesdell also was unable to say what was seized. No arrests were made.
 
Astin did not return repeated calls to his cell phone from The Associated Press today.
 
Benoit had been under the care of Astin, a longtime friend, for treatment of low testosterone levels. Astin said yesterday the condition likely originated from previous steroid use.
 
Astin prescribed testosterone for Benoit in the past but would not say what, if any, medications he prescribed when Benoit visited his office on Friday.
 
Over the weekend, Benoit killed his wife and son and then killed himself at their home in Fayetteville.
 
Anabolic steroids were found in Benoit's home, leading officials to wonder whether the drugs played a role in the slayings. Some experts believe steroids cause paranoia, depression and violent outbursts known as "roid rage."

More on Benoit story:

Seems to me the more and more you read about this story you will find out the stress and challenges that Chris and his family was facing, which is all I could ask for to know why this tragedy took place and not outright call out one person or another here.

 
From this article
 

 

 
Quote:
Pro wrestler Chris Benoit and his wife fought over care for their mentally retarded son only days before the muscleman killed his family and hanged himself, a lawyer said yesterday.

Nancy Benoit had demanded her husband spend more time with 7-year-old Daniel, who was left mentally and physically stunted by a genetic disorder called Fragile X, an inherited form of mental retardation often accompanied by autism.

The Benoits kept the illness a secret even from their closest friends, but it created a huge strain on his family life, World Wrestling Entertainment lawyer Jerry McDevitt said.

"The subject of caring for that child was part of what made their relationship complicated and difficult," McDevitt said. "It's something they were both struggling with. We do know it was a sense of stress and consternation."

Here's the wikipedia where someone said his wife was dead before police discovered the bodies: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Chris_Benoit&oldid=140442953
 
The IP was from Stamford, CT
 
Benoit's edit was the last one he made using that IP: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/69.120.111.23

Apparently, from what I've read, in regards to the Wikipedia thing, is they don't really know if it was from Stamford, as there was something else about the same user doing another edit 20 minutes later, and this time it was linked to an ISP in Australia or something.  So I'd say they were probably doing something that messed with the ISP.  I wouldn't know, but apparently there's way of doing that, or so I've heard.
 
But even still, was this just somebody taking a stab in the dark at what the "family emergency" was, and it turned out to be true?  Or did somebody know a lot sooner than they let on that the family had been murdered, and leaked it on Wikipedia?
 
I read something somewhere, on another message board I think, that there were something with text messages being sent out around midnight on Sunday night/Monday morning.
 
If they say that Chris died sometime late Saturday or early Sunday, well then that doesn't make much sense at all.  I can see the text messages not ARRIVING to the recipient until a day or two later, but the way this thing was worded sounded like the message was SENT around midnight on Sunday/Monday.
 
Weird.

No I believe they said the IP may (or may not) have been spoofed. Cause the "user" could not have made another edit since he wasn't logged in when making the edits. And you can see the other edits he did make using that IP

I haven't made a comment about this tragedy on here and i won't.  I just feel i don't have it in me to make a post on all of this.  I will discuss it with friends and i am all on top of the story and whatnot.  But i just don't have it in me to sit down and put my thoughts and words in order in regards to this terrible tragedy.  Anyways, in regards to this wikipedia story, i noticed that this was not addressed and cleared up yet so for anyone who hasn't seen or heard yet....

I was thinking last night, especially with all of the national news media (which is totally screwing up this story) and all that the best for all of us is to move forward and hopefully this story can be put to rest sooner rather than later.
