Mike Love, Brian Wilson and Al Jardine are alive. Dennis Wilson and Carl Wilson aren't.
Brian Wilson did not drown. That was his brother Dennis Wilson who drown. It was ironic too...as Dennis was the only one of the Beach Boys that could surf and was probably an expert swimmer. How ever he had been drinking and was diving off a friend's boat. Carl Wilson died of cancer. Brian is still alive as of June 2011. He's still touring and still recording. Mike Love and Bruce Johnston still perform as the Beach Boys, but basically they suck and need to retire. Al Jardine still perfoms as far as I know and tried to use the Beach Boys name but Mike Love threatened to sue him id he did.
No - as of April 2011, Brian Wilson is still alive and performing gigs.
The short answer is "because Carl Wilson died." Carl, one of the original members of the Beach Boys, was the "glue" that held the band together on the road, and when he died of cancer in 1998, another original Beach Boy, Al Jardine, quit. That left Mike Love and Bruce Johnston in the group. Mike is the only original Beach Boy still in the band.
None of them died, all still alive and some have a family
