I don't think there were people in Mt. Vesuvius in 79. It was and still is an active volcano. If you mean what happened to the people in the surrounding areas when the volcano erupted, they were killed by the hot gasses that rolled down from the volcano.

How many people did mount vesuvius kill?

No way to tell accurately; definitely several thousand. Fortunately, there are actually eyewitness accounts of that disaster that survive, and we know about how many people lived in the nearby towns. However, these are estimates, and the eruption's effects happened to areas outside the towns of Pompeii and Hurculaneum as well, when Vesuvius erupted in 79. 5,000 might be fair number, but it's really just an educated guess.
