[News Update] Chris Benoit Tragedy Updates

Fox Channel 5 in Atlanta, GA, is reporting that investigators are becoming quite frustrated by internet and conspiracy theories regarding the Chris Benoit tragedy. Investigators told FOX News that there is quote "no truth" to a story making the rounds that Nancy Benoit left a note in a safety deposit box stating that if something had happened to her, it was because of Chris Benoit. (Something this site never reported as there was no proof from reputable news source or police official.) The report did confirm a safety deposit box did exist, but it consisted of nothing but typical documents and contained no personal writings. The same story also confirmed that Nancy Benoit's parents have now returned to Daytona Beach, FL, to prepare for the funerals of Nancy and Daniel on July 14th.



Fox 5 in Atlanta, GA, is also reporting that the DEA is currently looking into the death of former ECW and WCW World Tag Team Champion Mike "Johnny Grune" Durham as part of their current investigation against Dr. Phil Astin. For those who may remember, Durham passed away in February of 2006 at 40 years old. According to Fox 5, Astin had reportedly written a prescription for 120 tablets of Soma (muscle relaxer) to Durham the day before he died. Durham was found dead with an empty prescription bottle. While an autopsy report listed Durham's passing as a result of coronary artery blockage and morbid obesity, a medical examiner did find Soma and Hydrocodone (painkiller) in his system. Says the medical examiner, "The combined effect of these drugs would have likely resulted in toxicity and probably contributed to the death, although the drug toxicity would not be expected to have been fatal by itself in the absence of heart disease."
