I can only think it would be someone who set a WR then died at a rather young or middle age without the record being beaten when they died.

Rudolf Harbig held the 800 WR (1:46.6) from 1939-1955, and was killed on the Eastern Front in 1944.

Also Jean Bouin, France who set the 10,000 meter mark at the Stockholm Olympics in 1912 and was killed on the Western Front in 1914. Nurmi broke his record in 1921.

Bouin's 10,000 record was set in Paris in 1911.

Daniel Komen another obvious one.
I thought Samuel Wanjiru might fit the criteria but his record was broken the year before he died.
Women’s 800 record will be one. W400 may as well if Sydney doesn’t get it.513 -
