Wife Killed Him and Then Was Killed?

From Lou Thesz: "Story has it his wife shot and killed him after many of his beatings. She was not charged with any crime and left and went to Florida. The uncle asked her to come back, all was forgiven, for some sort of ceremony and they killed her." http://wrestlingclassics.com/cgi-bin/.ubbcgi/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic;f=10;t=000234;p=0

Billy Two Rivers: "I personally don't believe that it was suicide. I have my own conclusions that I draw. Let me tell you safely that it was not enemies. It was not suicide."

Evaluation of article

Is the article neutral? Are there any claims, or frames, that appear heavily biased toward a particular position? The article seems to be neutral other than the statement of Don Eagle being rare in Canada. There are no claims or frames that appear heavily biased toward a particular position.

Is each fact referenced with an appropriate, reliable reference? Some references in the biography seem to be missing when there is a whole paragraph of information and no reference to accompany it. Also, there is a magazine as a reference which is not a reliable source.

Is everything in the article relevant to the article topic? Is there anything that distracted you? Everything in the article is relevant to the article topic. I found that there was no distraction and that there was an equal amount of focus on each topic. Malvinabeska (talk) 02:31, 10 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Is the last paragraph on Don Eagle's personal life properly referenced? There is a reliable newspaper source that is referenced, but, there is only that point of view. There are people close to Chief Don Eagle that do not feel that he took his own life. I feel like that would be worth mentioning in the article. Is there any bias involved in his death being ruled as a suicide on this article? Is there more information to add in regards to his family, and other perspectives on how he died? It also might be worth noting in the article, that his wife was murdered a short time after his passing. This adds to the belief that he maybe did not take his own life like mentioned previously in the article, also previously mentioned in the talk page where there is a reference to go along with this claim. Interesting, if a proper reference is found it is worth sharing! Molnaraa (talk) 22:40, 16 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

warning

I tried to remove some of the language to comply with the warning. In particular it seemed problematic that there were no links on the murder accusations except for a blog post toward the bottom. I also tried to just tone it down generally so it sounded more like an encyclopedia and less like a wrestling fan. — Preceding unsigned comment added by VikramInIowa (talk • contribs) 13:40, 15 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
