He was involved in that death fiasco during the Mellon Collie (worst album title ever?) tour, but it was Jonathan Melvoin that died. He was a touring member. In fact, Chamberlain is the only other original member in the new (yet to be unveiled) Pumpkins line-up.

Johnny Cash and at least two of the Ramones (can't remember if DeeDee was still with the band, he would make three), and one member of Social Distortion. Good question…I can't think of any more off the top of my head.
