WAGA in Atlanta is reporting that Chris Benoit's personal doctor, Dr. Phil Astin, surrendered today to federal agents for questioning.
Astin's offices and his mother's home were raided last week by federal drug agents. The Feds are investigating whether the doctor improperly prescribed testosterone and other drugs to Benoit, who killed his wife and son before committing suicide in his suburban Atlanta home last month.
Update: The Associated Press is reporting that Astin was charged with improperly dispensing painkillers and other drugs.
The seven-count indictment said Astin dispensed drugs including Percocet, Xanax, Lorcet and Vicoprofen between April 2004 and September 2005. The recipients were identified in the indictment by the initials O.G. and M.J. Benoit's initials were not listed. Astin was expected to make an initial court appearance Monday afternoon.
