I just saw on CNN that he strangled his wife, smothered his son, and hung himself. That is unofficial as of right now, though. (A detective working the case supposedly leaked it out and it got to the press.)

Written: June 25, 2007STAMFORD, Conn., June 25, 2007 – World Wrestling Entertainment was informed today by authorities in Fayetteville County, Ga., that WWE Superstar Chris Benoit, his wife, Nancy, and his son were found dead in their home. Authorities are investigating, but no other details are available at this time.
Instead of its announced programming for tonight on USA Network, WWE will air a three-hour tribute to Chris Benoit.
Chris was beloved among his fellow Superstars, and was a favorite among WWE fans for his unbelievable athleticism and wrestling ability. He always took great pride in his performance, and always showed respect for the business he loved, for his peers and towards his fans. This is a terrible tragedy and an unbearable loss.
WWE extends its sincere condolences and prayers to the Benoit family and loved ones in this time of tragedy.

Some reports state that he called in sick and stated that he and his family were vomiting or coughing blood. Could it have been some sort of infectious disease? If the story is accurate, they were all sick and died at the same time. What disease runs its course and kills so quickly; practically within a 24 hour time frame? I know of a few but I would never make assumptions of that nature. If it was something infectious, it would probably be kept confidential so as to not cause panic amonst the population. That's just me being really dramatic but it's still incredibly odd. Nonetheless, may they all rest in peace. He will certainly be missed in the WWE. :(

No, he's not. His family doesn't even live in Atlanta. It's part of the Vince McMahon death story line. The gimmik is that the McMahon's blamed Benoit and took revenge.
