An edit was made to his Wikipedia the day before the murders saying that he was dealing badly with his wife's murder. The post was traced back to WWE offices, yet dismissed as a "coincidence".
He and his family were murdered.
>On a paragraph about an earlier fight: "However, Chris Benoit was replaced… due to personal issues,…", the anonymous editor added " stemming from the death of his wife Nancy." The edit was reversed just under one hour later with the comment: "Need a reliable source. Saying that his wife died is a pretty big statement, you need to back it up with something."
>Then just one hour later after the first edit reversion, another anonymous edit by 125.63.148.173 using unwiredAustralia.com.au, a wireless Internet service provider, was made adding about the aforementioned personal issues: "which according to several pro wrestling websites is attributed to the passing of Benoit's wife, Nancy." That edit was reverted just under 20 minutes later, with the comment: "Saying 'several pro wrestling websites' is still not reliable information."

it was actually a random guy who lived near the WWE building like right next to it almost who made the change to the wiki page and it was just before it happened
the post was labeled a coincidence after a investigation as the guy was basically cleared with the suicide note in the house and confession on the phone
