These are the ones that have so far caught it in my outline:
1) Unnamed heroin dealer knifed through the aorta by Jojo (Josephine Abigail Greene). Hint: Do not mess with my female MCs, they can all kill.
2) Hannah Stephens. Heroin overdose.
3) Eve. Accepted the offer of a free holiday in Hong Kong and didn't come back. Only discovers when she's visiting the drug dealers' lab that she's a test subject. They need to determine the lethal dose of something new. Stupidity carries a death penalty.

JOHN HARTHFELD
1791-1813
Shot by English Scouts.
May St. Gloria let him STAY dead.
Heehee, Harthfeld's a over-zealous religious git, but I love him! I just wish there was more of him in the story... :(

Alana Stark
1985-2010
To Alana, my main character:
I’m not sorry that you’ll be killed at the end of my novel. It’s not that I don’t like you; as a matter of fact, I like you quite a bit. You’re modeled after me in many respects, after all. It’s just that any other ending wouldn’t fit. If you don’t die, the outside world might find out about everything that’s been happening in New Landsbury. Besides, your tormenters are far more prepared than you are. You never stood a chance, especially since the entire town is in on the plot to kill you. Tough luck.
Kyra Snow
1985-2010
Kyra:
You really do deserve to die. You sent your friend to a certain death in the hopes of saving yourself. The joke’s on you; you’re going to die anyway, and you’ll go with the weight of Alana’s death on your conscience. But hey, at least that shrouded figure will stop appearing to torment you at night. Always look on the bright side of life/death.

You were really annoying and made the 3000+ words I've written so incredibly boring. You deserved to die. You were just stupid.

Ratana Sivaraksa Newell and Johnathan Newell:
Killed by the ancient Shath'Natarok.
Aranoth (a Lesser Ancient):
Also killed by Shath'Natarok
Nameless Jungle Guy:
Killed by Shath'Natarok
Don't really have any birth/death dates, the story isn't set in a certain time period other than "modern".
There is a pattern here. There is a chance that it shall continue. Those pesky undead ancients that require live things to feed on.

RIP, Erwin Ackermann.
----------A collector of notable firsts: first European astronaut to set foot on the moon, first person on the moon to be hit on the head by a collapsing lunar module, first person to die on the moon.
Gone but not forgotten, as he will be popping up repeatedly in the form of a ghastly hallucination for several chapters to come.

RIP, Aristide Goncourt.
French astronaut, fried by radiation from solar flares while returning to Earth. And with a name like that, it might even have come as a relief.
- There could be quite a few of these. Last time I did a horror/thriller novel, two of my main characters and a bunch of minor ones had the temerity to survive. This year, I'm going for a clean sweep!

Requiescat in pace, you poor bastard."
KAYLEEN MATTHEWS

Stabbed in the neck with a poisoned dagger.
"You could not control yourself, my poor child.
You just had to bite the hand that saved you.
May you finally rest in peace."
I'm sure more will crop up later.

Erm... yeah... about that, at least I left your kid survive, right? Sorry I had to kill you off in such a gruesome manner, but look at it this way, your kid gets to live! Ai's kid got stabbed in the chest and burned to death, yours just has someone after her life :3
