Who dies in Stranger Things Season 5 Vol. 2?

Kali’s friends – When Kali was hunted down by Dr. Kay’s soldiers, her friends were killed in front of her. Moreover, Axel was shot in the head by a soldier in a flashback scene. It is also subtly hinted that Kali’s friends from Season 2 also suffered a tragic fate.
The scientist in the mine – During Holly and Max’s time in Henry’s mind, they come across his memory related to a man in the cave. It was a fearful scientist, with a briefcase and a gun pointed towards a young Henry. The scientist shoots at Henry’s hand, which leads to a tussle between them for the gun. In the end, Henry kills the man by hitting him brutally with a rock.
Dr. Kay’s scientists – When Kali tries to escape the prison, she kills two unnamed scientists along the way.
Dr. Kay’s military soldiers – They attempt to fire the gun at Demodogs several times, without being aware of the serious consequences. Their firings anger the creatures, who ultimately kill off two soldiers.
