The edit was posted from a computer traced to Stamford, Connecticut.

The posting 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 a Wikipedia.org, 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.”

One hour after the first edit reversion, another anonymous edit using an Australian wireless Internet service provider was added to the entry: Chris Benoit was replaced by Johnny Nitro for the ECW Championship match at Vengeance “which according to several pro wrestling websites is attributed to the passing of Benoit’s wife, Nancy.”…Read more!

CNN is also reporting that people had been calling their Atlanta affiliate for two weeks prior to the deaths asking if Benoit was dead.

RUSTY DORNIN, CNN CORRESPONDENT: “But probably the strangest thing that we have learned about this is one of our affiliates in Atlanta did tell us that people have been calling that station and asking if Benoit was dead for the past two weeks. Now, where that came from, we have absolutely no idea”

Neither the father of Smith’s child, Larry Birkhead, nor her partner and solicitor, Howard K. Stern, are named as beneficiaries.

The entire estate was left to Smith’s son Daniel, who died last year.

The probate proceeding to sort out Smith’s assets, debts and taxes will lead to the establishment of a trust with eight-month-old Dannielynn as its sole beneficiary, said Stern’s attorney Bruce S Ross.

Birkhead has also filed papers to ask a judge to appoint him as guardian of Dannielynn’s estate.

“As the child’s father and caregiver, (Birkhead) is in the best position to protect and safeguard the interests of his child as guardian of her estate, including her interests in the estate of her deceased mother,” the petition said.

A June 19 hearing was scheduled to hear both petitions…Read more
