After an investigation, Wikinews learned that anonymous edits on the Wikipedia article Chris Benoit were added about the death of his wife Nancy Benoit 14 hours before police entered the Benoit home to find the former professional World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) Canadian wrestler and his family dead.

The first sign that it was possible that the WWE had leaked, or attempted to leak the information was by an anonymous edit from IP address 69.120.111.23 using the Internet service provider Optimum Online which is located in Connecticut, the world headquarters of the WWE. A second edit was made just under one hour later by 125.63.148.173 using unwiredAustralia.com.au, a wireless Internet service provider in Australia.

Both edits were made at least 13-14 hours prior to police finding the bodies and being called to the Benoit residence by the WWE. However; the investigation cannot confirm that the first edit was made using a WWE computer or network. Both edits were reversed and later added once the information was confirmed.

I must point out that this is not the first time Benoit's article has been edited to show false or unsourced information, as the article's edit history indicates a long history of promotional spam and vandalism.

Soon after the edits were made, the authorities, according to WIkipedia, were notified of this information, but it is not yet known if authorities looked into these claims or investigated them.

At the moment, Wikinews is unable to conclude whether the anonymous editors had inside information about the death of Nancy Benoit, and it is not known if the edits were made by a WWE employee or someone closely affiliated with the WWE or the murder investigation.

The investigation is on going.
