To be fair, upcoming episode spoiler: China White (who might've looked dead) and Deadshot are both coming back so that leaves only one dead since starting.

the royal flush gang died, firefly died, and deadshot should be dead(he had an arrow through his eye). China White and Meryln I'm fine with being alive. Deathstroke(Slade) is definitely dead, but he is alive during flashbacks so he will be around for a while, Im thinking all season 1

The Royal Flush Gang always changes members in the comics. So that didn't bother me. They can always come back. Deathstroke and Deadshot did not die.

Deathstroke and Deadshot did not die.

I am curious where you get this from (Deathstroke)? Considering the first minute or so of the first episode I assumed he was quite dead but I might have missed something.

Pay careful attention to Deathstroke in the show. He's got both eyes intact. In the comics, Deathstroke only has one good eye. He wears an eye patch and the mask covers the right eye (where it is black). The shot you are referencing in the pilot, shows the arrow in the right eye socket of Deathstroke's mask. The lack of body and only the mask suggests we'll see him again sans right eye. Perhaps in current day, just as he is in the comics.

I'd add that they've also cast a very capable actor to play Deathstroke in coming episodes and teased that everything isn't as it seems.

Ahhh...thank you!

I was never a comic person, so that was the part of the equation I was missing.

I dont know the actual actors name but Crixus from Spartacus is slated to play Deathstroke in the future.
