Do you mean not killed by Michael?


Not all by Michael, but about half of them.


Sonny, the mother, and Vito died due to other reasons, natural or otherwise.

Tessio, Carlo, and Fredo were all killed due to Michael.

Michael had also alienated himself from Connie and Tom due to his handling of the family business in part 2.


Clemenza would have also appeared at the dinner and in place of Pentangeli in part 2 if not for Richard Castellano getting into a dick-measuring contest with Coppola. If he'd appeared, it would have been another person at that dinner which Michael had killed.

Refresh my memory, please... What happened to Clemenza in the book/movie? I vaguely remember them mentioning him in one of the 50s scenes in Part II, something to the effect of "If Clemenza was alive, God rest his soul", and it's been 30 years since I read the book.
