Twenty-two WCW superstars died at an age below 50 years with the latest one being Chris Kanyon who died last weekend. From WWF, six wrestlers who performed in the same year have since died (Big Boss Man, "Dr. Death" Steve Williams, Golga, Owen Hart, Road Warrior Hawk and Test). The drug related deaths from WWF is considerably less than WCW's.
Here is a full list of the superstars who performed for WCW in 1998:
» Bam Bam Bigelow - 2007 / 01 / 19 (45)

» Brady Boone (referee) - 1998 / 12 / 16 (40)

Six more talents who joined WCW after 1998 have since died: Chris Candido, "Dr. Death" Steve Williams, Mike Awesome, Rhonda Singh, Sherri Martel and The Wall. All of these were not older than 50.
Kanyon's death means that this year will be the fifteenth consecutive year in which at least one talent who performed for WCW between 1991 and 2001 has died.
