The Death Of Owen Hart — A Brother’s Tribute
Bret’s brother Own suffered a tragic accident that took his life on 1999’s Over the Edge pay-per-view event. Owen was doing a stunt with a harness for his entrance, however, as he was being lowered into the ring, he was released early from the harness and fell 78 feet, landing on his chest. Several attempts were made to revive him, but he later died due to internal bleeding caused by blunt force trauma. Bret and Chris Benoit later did a tribute match for Owen on WCW Monday Nitro on the same arena where the accident had occurred.
