Vaporized

Kirk orders two guards to accompany Nomad. When we see Nomad with two officers in the
turbolift a bit later, Carlisle has replaced one of them. Carlisle's voice
could be identified earlier in the episode. |

The fact that
McCoy just kneels beside the motionless Marple and Spock's line "They
[the People of Vaal] have learned to kill" are strong evidence
that Marple was indeed killed, although Akuta didn't hit him too hard. |

"The Deadly Years" |
|
Crewman |
Unknown |
Security officer |
Male |
 |
Killed
by dikironium cloud through extraction of erythrocytes |
Argus X |
This crewman
belongs to the first group attacked and killed by the cloud creature,
right at the beginning. The two other officers in this group are Rizzo and
Leslie.
The same actor previously appeared in
"The Changeling" as one of the two guards in the turbolift with
Nomad and was killed too. |
"Obsession" |
|
Lieutenant |
Leslie |
Security officer |
Male |
 |
Quite a few
of the actors playing security officers returned from the dead. The
particular dilemma with Leslie is that after his definite death in
"Obsession" he can be seen prominently and frequently, and his
name is called out a couple of times.
It is very unlikely that Kirk could have
declared Leslie dead prematurely. His pale face insinuates that he is missing far too
many erythrocytes to be still alive (unlike Rizzo whose face still looks
healthy and who dies nonetheless). Also, Kirk later confirms that two
crewman have died. Since Rizzo is still alive at the time, he must refer
to the unnamed security officer and Leslie.
There may be indeed two
characters (twins?). This would also alleviate the other huge problem,
that in the course of TOS Leslie occupies so many different positions as
if he could run the ship all alone, as a navigator, a science officer, a
medical officer and, of course, as a security officer. Curiously, we can
see Leslie with a red engineering suit and, in a different shot, with a
yellow shirt during Kirk's announcement in "Assignment: Earth".
This clearly indicates that these two are different people. Yet, this
observation doesn't really help, since "Assignment: Earth" takes
place after "Obsession".

Rizzo |
Security officer |

Enterprise,

Rizzo dies
some time after the attack on his team. His death is mentioned in dialogue.
Rizzo is played by Jerry Ayres, who
previously portrayed the equally unlucky O'Herlihy in "Arena"
(there with dark hair).

Galloway |
Security officer |
Male |
 |
Vaporized

Omega IV |
Galloway's
death in "The Omega Glory" is absolutely certain. Yet, in "Turnabout Intruder"
actor David L. Ross appears once again as a lieutenant of the ship's security.
Here his character is credited as "Galoway" (with only one "l"),
insinuating that someone who didn't pay attention indeed intended this
officer to be the same Galloway, but the name is not mentioned in the
episode. We should assume that the man from
"Turnabout Intruder" is another person who just happens to
resemble the late Galloway. |

Spirited away

Sam is
wearing red clothing like everyone else in the gym, so there is not hint
about his department.
In the end the Thasian voice says "Everything

which insinuates that Sam is restored too (although my impression is that they
can't bring back the destroyed Antares).

Killed by
Nomad in engineering, possibly only unconscious |
Enterprise |
When Kirk
follows Nomad to engineering, he finds two motionless technicians. The
only thing he does is that he quickly feels the pulse of one crewman, but
we can't really tell what has happened from his reaction. The four people
that arrive a few moments later don't try to help them either, and no one calls sickbay.
So either they are all aware that the two are only unconscious, or they
are clearly dead. Considering that Nomad kills by vaporizing his victims,
the two may be still alive.
