saifaiI'm just re-posting this from a forum I moderate for those of you looking for information on this. I've got a few starter links below.
For the ECW fans out there, Vince made a short announcement prior to tonights show. Chris Benoit and his family were found dead. The ECW did a tribute to him, then were going to dedicate tonight's show to him. As the details of the death came out, Vince came on and made the accouncement his name wouldn't be mentioned. Sources say his name and works have since been removed from the corporate site.
There are some right creepy details popping up about this. For those of you who are completely lost (as I was when I first caught the announcement), I did a bit of research. Here's a few links to get you started if you want additional information.

Links to all the latest details (with sources cited) will be found on the Wiki page, so visit that one if you want more details.
NOTE: I'm sure the videos are cropping up all over YouTube by now, but I don't actually have links to any of the reports that have been made in various locations. If you've got one you want to add, let me know and I'll udpate this page.

Oh yeah. I don't doubt he's doing what he can to cover his ass now if the rumors turn out to be true. Even if they don't, it'll be quite the uproar in the media when it filters down the pipe.
