No fatalities have ever occurred on a shuttle prior to launch.
3 astronauts did die on January 27, 1967 during a test for the Apollo/Saturn-204 launch, also known as AS-204. Command Pilot Virgil "Gus" Grissom, Senior Pilot Edward H. White, and Pilot Roger B. Chaffee died when fire broke out inside the capsule.
AS-204 was later officially renamed Apollo 1.

Do all astrounuats die before returning to earth?
No. Only a few astronauts have died in the line of duty, and very few (and no Americans) have died in space. The most dangerous part of any space journey is the launch and the landing. Three American astronauts were killed in a fire in the capsule on the launch pad during testing before Apollo 1. Seven astronauts were killed when space shuttle Challenger was destroyed during launch, and seven astronauts were killed when the shuttle Columbia disintegrated over Texas during re-entry. At least a few astronauts were killed in aircraft accidents. We believe that the Russians lost a couple of astronauts in space, but this has never been admitted. Several Russian astronauts have died during re-entry or during the landing.
