There are no exact details are known about this death at this time. [1] Through their website, World Wrestling Entertainment also released the following statement...
"World Wrestling Entertainment is deeply saddened to report that today Chris Benoit and his family were found dead in their home. There are no further details at this time, other than the Benoit family residence is currently being investigated by local authorities.
Tonight’s Raw on USA Network will serve as a tribute to Chris Benoit and his family. WWE extends its sincerest thoughts and prayers to the Benoit family’s relatives and loved ones in this time of tragedy.
WWE cancelled the scheduled live Raw show scheduled for June 25, and was replaced by a pre-recorded tribute to Benoit in its place.
Fayette County, Georgia police are investigating Benoit's house following the discovery of the bodies, and no details have been released other than to announce that Benoit was not shot to death.

Its a shame this has happened being a fantastic wrestler entertaining many fans across the world.
I'm watching the Tribute live on Sky Sports now.
Rip Chris Benoit May 21st 1967 - June 25th 2007 and your family....

According to Wikipedia it seems Chris Benoit killed his family then himself....
Fayette County, Georgia police are investigating Benoit's house following the discovery of the bodies. Lieutenant Tommy Pope of the Fayette County Sheriff's Department reported to ABC News that it was being investigated as a double murder-suicide, saying that over the weekend of June 23-24, Benoit killed his wife and son, then on Monday, June 25, killed himself. And the police were not searching for any suspects outside of the house, as the instruments of death were located on scene. Adding to speculation, Benoit had canceled a recent pay per view match against C.M. Punk for the ECW title citing personal reasons. After he had missed several recent appointments, WWE officials asked the police to check on the house where the family was found dead.

Dont have a clue mate but Wikipedia keeps getting edited with better info so here goes...
Investigators believe the 40-year-old Benoit killed his wife, Nancy, and 7-year-old son, Daniel, over the weekend, then himself on Monday. A neighbor called police, and the bodies were found in three rooms.
