There are several people who die in West Side Story, these include Riff (the head of the Jets), Bernardo (the head of the Sharks) and Tony (Maris's lover and old member of Jet gang) It was originally set that Maria would also die just as Juliet did in "Romeo and Juliet", but the writers thought this would be too much death and left the ending open for the audience to decide what happens to Maria and the affect that these tragedies have had on their society.
