Who dies in The Outsiders?

Several characters die throughout the novel The Outsiders. The first casualty in the novel is Bob Sheldon. Bob Sheldon is a Soc, who prides himself on fighting. Johnny stabs and kills Bob because Bob and his friends were attempting to drown Ponyboy in a park fountain. Johnny acted out of self-defense, but skips town after the incident. Johnny Cade is the next casualty. Johnny dies from serious injuries resulting from a ceiling beam falling on his back while he was attempting to escape the burning church. Johnny is paralyzed from the waist down, and dies while he is lying in his hospital bed. After Johnny dies, Dally loses his mind and robs a grocery store. The police chase him into a vacant lot where Dally pulls out an unloaded gun. The police shoot and kill Dallas Winston, who is the third person to die throughout the novel.
