"ATLANTA -- Federal and county investigators are looking into the death of a second professional wrestler who was the patient of Dr. Phil Astin, according to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution.

Astin is the doctor who admits prescribing steroids to wrestler Chris Benoit who authorities said killed his wife and son and then committed suicide.

Investigators said Friday that wrestler Michael Durham, also know as Johnny Grunge, was a patient of Astin's when he died in 2006.

Capt. Mike Pruitt of the Fayette County Sheriff's Office drug task force told the AJC that Dr. Astin is suspected of overprescribing drugs to Durham."

Commentary: There seems to be no shortage of news about Chris Benoit, as every media outlet and TV show seems to do a story on it weekly or daily. Where were the stories on pro wrestling doing Tribute for the Troops or Make a Wish? The media continues to dig, attack and try to accuse pro wrestling, which I think is a bit unfair, but its part of the media credo to look at these issues.
