Death of Nancy Benoit Showed Up on Wikipedia Before the Death was Discovered

In a Fox News exclusive it has just been announced that more then 14 hours before Nancy Benoit's death at the hands of her husband Chris Benoit, that her death was posted on Wikipedia.com under Chris Benoit's biography.

Officials tell FoxNews.com that an anonymous user, that was using a computer traced to Stamford (which is the home town in which the WWE is operated), posted the information. According to information provided by Wikipedia to Fox News the entry went live at 12:01 am on Monday. Very interesting of course considering that authorities did not find the bodies until 2:30 pm on Monday.

FoxNews.com is showing the entry as having said "Chris Benoit was replaced by [[Johnny Nitro]] for the ECW Championship match at Vengeance, as Benoit was not there due to personal issues, stemming from the death of his wife Nancy." According to Fox and the lineup from WWE, Chris Benoit was suppose to be in a match on Sunday evening in Texas. The last part of the entry to Wikipedia was in red, to show that someone had recently made an edit to the prior information that was on the site.

Wikipedia is telling Fox News that they notified authorities in Fayette County Georgia at around 11 am on Monday, once they realized that a change of that sort had been made to the biography. The person from Wikipedia named Cary Bass told Fox News "I chat with other editors on IRC - Internet relay chat - and somebody pointed it out to me on a relay chat and that it came from a Stamford connection, and that it took place at midnight Eastern Standard Time on Monday morning."

In yet another interesting twist, Pro-Wrestler Sherri Martel who was found dead on the 15th of June, had been linked to Kevin Sullivan, who happens to also be the former husband of Nancy Benoit says FoxNews.com Fox News also says that all though foul play is not suspected in the death Sherri Martel, authorities do not believe that she died of natural causes at the age of 49.

This case seems to be taking very strange twists everyday that passes in the investigation. More details are on the horizon in this very unbelievable case.

Calls from Fox News to the Fayette County Lt. Tommy Pope, who had made statements to Fox News at the beginning of this strange case were not returned by press time.

    This whole thing is sickening. Did you catch Greta's interviews with "Chyna Doll" and Bret Hart? It does seem to get worse and worse.
