. . . this got me interested enough to do a google, and wiki says:
David died on February 10, 1984, in Tokyo, Japan. The US Embassy's death report says he died of acute enteritis.[24] Ric Flair wrote in his autobiography, To Be the Man, that "everyone in wrestling believes" that it was a drug overdose that really killed him and that Bruiser Brody (a fellow wrestler who found David) disposed of the narcotics by flushing them down a toilet before the police arrived. Mick Foley also claims that David died from an apparent drug overdose
and that
Mike [Von Erich] tried returning to wrestling after partial recovery. He continued to compete despite lack of mental coordination and strength. After an arrest for DUI and marijuana possession, Mike took a fatal dose of tranquilizers and alcohol around April 12, 1987
and that
[. . .] Chris [Von Erich] was the youngest of the Von Erich family. With his short stature (5'5”), asthma, and extremely brittle bones, which were prone to breaking, Chris was never able to achieve the success that his father and brothers achieved.
[. . .]
After several years of not being able to succeed in the wrestling business, Chris became depressed and frustrated. He was also heartbroken over the loss of his brother, Mike, and experienced drug addiction. On September 12, 1991, aged 21, he shot himself in the head. [. . .]
So I think the one Ric Flair was talking about was either Mike or Chris, and since the Wiki article says Chris never really made it to the big time, I think it must have been Mike.
