Most of the deaths were firefighters. The operators, technicians, and managers also died. As far as any documents I have read say nobody outside the facility itself died, they were evacuated. Also the other reactors at the site were kept operating and nobody from their crews died. Only reactor #4 was involved.
A2. I believe the total of the firefighters and operating staff who died was 52, they all died within a few weeks. Many of those further away who were evacuated will have received higher than normal radiation doses, but it's not possible to separate out those who died in subsequent years as a result, from the natural incidence of cancers etc. Naturally opponents of nuclear power have tried to establish a causal link but it is not at all clear, and ultimately the evidence is in statistics. You can get references to background papers from website www.world-nuclear.org.
