It has been two shuttle missions that has ended with death. The first one was the space shuttle Challenger, it exploded about 73 seconds from the launch in 1986, and then it was the shuttle Columbia that was torn apart when they entered the earth atmosphere in 2003. All of the crew died in both of the "crashes".
