Blogger Irvin Muchnick’s FOI Clash With The Stamford Police Regarding Death Of WWE’s Chris Benoit

Wrestling writer and blogger Irvin Muchnick is scheduled to be in Stamford today, promoting a book dealing with the World Wrestling Entertainment empire, former CEO Linda McMahon, and the death of one-time wrestler Chris Benoit. Benoit killed himself in 2007 after killing his wife and seven-year-old son.

Mushnick tangled with the Stamford police in a Freedom of Information case in the strange tale of a 19-year-old University of Connecticut student from Stamford who had changed Benoit’s Wikipedia entry before the bodies of his family members had been found.

The Stamford police interviews with the UConn student were videotaped, and Mushnick eventually obtained them. They are available below in three parts.
