Because he was suspected of being in the July 20 plot, or knowing about it; but no one knows for sure, so he was given 2 choices forced suicide and do it honourable or face a humiliating trail from the Volksgerichtshof for himself and Nazi Germany. so he decided to kill himself secretly, and Hitler posted a fake post saying he crashed in his kubelwagen while in the bavarian forest.
Edit-- Rommel was related to the plot because he was to take Hitler's place as leader and stop the war.
He was offered to either kill himself or go to trial, causing an uproar between the regular soldiers of the Africa corps and Western front loyal to him.
Foreseeing the rebellion Hitler promised to have his family murdered had Rommel gone to trial, so he killed himself.
Hitler maintained his promise and Rommel's family survived the war.
