After watching the movie for probably the hundredth time, I made a list of eleven people who died in the movie. Are there more?

The Kolinsky guy dies during interrogation.
The document forger is killed by Jackal.
Madame Pontpelier is dead.
The gay man Jackal was staying with dies.
The government minister who was sleeping with Denise kills himself.
The gendarm is shot by Jackal.
Last Jackal himself is shot by Lonsdale.

Altogether 8 people die.

1. Bastien-Thiry, executed at the beginning
2. The forger
3. Madame Colette
4. old woman killed by Jackal at the end
5. CRS cop shot by the Jackal at the end
6. The Jackal
7. Wolenski the bodyguard (tortured to death, or at least he was in the book!)
8. guy accidentally killed by the Jackal in a car accident
9. old woman who dies in her sleep at the hotel
10. Jules, the gay guy with the lobster
11. St. Clair, who commits suicide

"What I don't understand is how we're going to stay alive this winter."

Yeah, that was my list too. Although Wolenski's death was not shown, it was mentioned by the Molitor phone guy, "Wolenski talked before dying", or something to that effect.

Others have commented that maybe he didn't actually kill the landlady at the end, but he seemed to hit her in the same way he hit the forger.

I think he killed the dog too, the one in the car.

I doubt it. He'd have had no need to, he'd just let it go.
