(ATLANTA) - Chris Benoit's doctor surrendered to authorities today in connection with a drug probe related to the murder-suicide of the pro wrestler and his family.
A lawyer for Dr. Phil Astin told the AP the physician will face a single charge involving improperly prescribing medication.
Federal drug agents have taken over the probe into whether Astin improperly prescribed testosterone and other drugs to Benoit before he killed his wife and son and committed suicide in the family's suburban Atlanta home last month.
State prosecutors and sheriff's officials are overseeing the investigation.
Investigators have conducted two raids at Astin's west Georgia office since last week.

I hope Chris' family will be able to forgive him and realize he must have been very sick. I wish peace for all their survivors.

I think the media is to blame, we pay to see them get better, just so they can charge us more. It is a shame that it could lead to this.

I dont understand how a doctor would prescribe drugs wrongfully like that. You are supposed to be able to trust them with your life. I also, dont understand how a guy can murder his own son. This was just an innocent wife and little boy. On top of everything else he didnt even take the punishment like a man. He took the easy way out. I feel he has a lot of repentance to do.
