Famous people who died skiing in 1998:
1.Michael Kennedy's life was a mess when he suffered a fatal skiing injury in 1997. News had just broke of an affair he admitted to having with his children's babysitter. There were rumors the affair had begun when the young woman was just 14, which would have made it statutory rape. Kennedy denied those charges, but was under investigation at the time of his death.
2.Sonny Bono was said to have died instantly when he hit a tree while skiing at the Heavenly Ski Resort in Nevada. His death on Jan. 5, 1998, came just days after Michael Kennedy's and neither Kennedy nor Bono had been wearing a helmet.
