Paul- died
Eldridge-fired because of altercations w/ Paul
Otis- still with The Temptations
Eddie- died of lung cancer
Melvin (Blue)- died of a seizure
Paul- suicide but some beg to differ
David- overdose on drugs
David Ruffin was replaced Eldridge so he was not an original temptation but he was named one of the original 5 because he replaced Eldridge before they really blew up
