One other Soviet cosmonaut died on reentry. Name escapes me at present - was
it Soyuz 1?; but Gagarin - who had attempted to prevent the flight, as it
was known on the factory floor that the flight was a death trip - probably
suicided by crashing his plane (the plane crashed... we don't know why)
shortly thereafter.
All the best,
