Data on the murder of the wife of a famous wrestler appeared on Wikipedia before the police found out
On June 24, the well-known (in the USA) wrestler Chris Benoit killed his wife and son, and then committed suicide.
On June 25, at 00:01 am EST (08:01 UTC), in the article about him in English Wikipedia, an anonymous user with IP address 69.120.111.23 introduced a clarifying amendment that Chris Benoit was replaced by another wrestler at one of the championships due to the death of his wife Nancy.

Police, however, became aware of the death of his wife only at 2:30 pm EST, i.e. after 14 hours and 29 minutes.
The IP address belongs to the host, which is located in the city of Stamford (Connecticut), where the headquarters of the World Wrestling Association (WWE) is also located.
After the news that a Wikipedia user found out about the death before the police began to flash in the news feeds, the same anonymous user wrote on Wikinews that this is nothing more than a coincidence based on rumors.
Currently, the police are looking for this anonymous user, because, according to police, if he knew about his death before the police discovered the bodies and did not report this to the police, then criminal sanctions could be applied to him.
