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
