He fell to his death in Kansas City, Missouri on May 23, 1999, during the WWF's Over the Edge PPV event. He was being lowered into the ring from the rafters of Kemper Arena for a scheduled Intercontinental Title win over The Godfather.
In keeping with the Blazer's new 'buffoonish superhero' character, Owen was to be lowered to just above ring level, at which time he would release himself from the safety harness and then comically fall flat on his face. Though he had performed the stunt several times before, Owen was worried about performing the stunt at Kemper Arena due to the higher-than-usual height involved (Owen had a fear of heights).
To sooth worries, Owen performed a practice stunt earlier in the day, and the stunt went forward on the show as scheduled. His wife Martha suggests that, by moving around to get comfortable with both the harness and his cape on, Owen triggered an early release and fell 78 feet (24 m) into the ring, smashing his chest on a padded, but still tough, ring turnbuckle.

Have you seen that clip where Shawn Michaels comes down on that cable at Wrestlemania,well Owen did the same thing but his cable snapped and he fell and hit his head on the turnbuckle.Bret Hart wishes he was in the WWE at the time but he left before this incident happened.

Durring a wwf pay per view he was suspended from the ceiling to make a dramatic entrance. His harness snapped and he fell onto the center of the ring from way up. Instant death

possibly Owen Hart did no longer die. possibly he's alive and nicely, residing quietly with a clean identity and taking section in his retirement. merely keep in mind: you may fool a number of the individuals each and all of the time...and each and all of the individuals a number of the time...yet you may no longer fool each and all of the individuals each and all of the time.

He was to do a cable slide entrance, something broke, he fell, he died.
Kind of like what Sting used to do back in WCW.

Select Troy S's answer- that's exactly what happened. And that's why Bret left wrestling.

I think he broke his neck doing a wrestling move in the ring.

It wasn't the cable stunt that killed him, it was because he broke his neck. that's why he died. the cabel stunt was just an unfortunate series events before the broken neck.
