How many people died at Antigone?

In the beginning of the Antigone play there are the two brothers that died in battle against one another. Polyneices and Eteocles whom are the brothers of Antigone and Ismene. Towards the end of the play Antigone commits suicide by hanging herself with her halter after being isolated in a chamber by Creon (her uncle i think). After seeing Antigone dead, Haemon (Haimon - who loves Antigone) commits suicide by stabbing himself in the side with his own sword. Once the messenger spreads the word of Haemon's death his mother, Eurydice, commits suicide while cursing her husband Creon's name. I believe she stabbed herself in the heart. Ismene should still be alive at the end of the play all though they do not really say if she is or not. -Five people total die in Antigone that I know of.
