How many astronauts have died in space?
3 astronauts
Background
So far three astronauts have really died in space. It was the Soviet crew of Soyuz 11 in June 1971. A valve opened during re-entry and the air escaped from the capsule. All other disasters happened inside the atmosphere, not in space itself.
