For Naruto fans, such as myself, I bet some of you are wondering, "How many of the Akatsuki have died?"
So far, I have little info, but I'll do the best I can
*Note: Spoiler alert if you live in the US. But then again you probably don't care, so read it anyway*
Sasori of Red Sand died fighting his grandma Chiyo and Sakura I believe. I think he was the first of the Akatsuki to die. He was the creator of the Crow, a puppet Kankuro often uses. I think it was the 3rd Kazekage he murdered? His former partners were Deidara and Orochimaru. He said he'd kill Orochimaru, yet was unable to after he was killed.
Deidara died fighting Sasuke out of anger towards him, he turned himself into a bomb, killing himself and Manda (Orochimaru's snake). Either he or Hidan were the second of the Akatsuki to die. He joined the Akatsuki (Well, I can't say joined, he was forced) after being defeated by Itachi. One of his eyes has adapted to be used against the sharingan. He tried to kill Sasuke after realizing he killed Orochimaru before he could. His former partners were Sasori and Tobi (for the last time, he's not Obito).
Hidan died fighting Shikamaru. He killed Azuma, which drove Shikamaru to revenge. Shikamaru defeated and buried Hidan in Nara soil. He has a three blade reaper staff. He's a cusser, he often uses foul language when he can. I forget who his partner was...
Itachi died fighting Sasuke. Yes, Sasuke got his rvenge and was able to kill his brother. Itachi sustained multiple counts of Damage fighting Sasuke and the true reason he kept Sasuke alive was revealed. Itachi kept Sasuke alive in hopes he'd gain a Mangekyo too. Itachi was going blind (most of you are probably saying "I knew it!") due to the Mangekyo's effects, so he kept Sasuke alive to steal his eyes for a permanent Mangekyo, however Sasuke killed him. Sasuke is currently in critical condition. Itachi so far is the last of the Akatsuki that has died. Itachi's partner was Kisame.
So far that's my guide. If any new updates come up I may or may not post them because if I have a life that day, I may not. If you have more information tell me and I will update another page and post who helped me.
