We're baaaaaaaack:

Death toll?

On the streets if you don't learn fast you're dead. (pg 41)
Suspicious-looking burial mounds. Often contain the dead. (pg 45)
Hangman's Hill. It's right there on the tin. (pg 47)

Sam Vimes has killed people. He likes to think he tried not to. Presumably we've not seen them all. (pg 153)
What happened to the goblins 3 years ago. (pg 163)
A man was hung for the contents of his cellar. The contents of which Vimes would not burden Feeney with. There may have been a death involved there then. (pg 165)

Lord Justice Hangnail, "criminals always lie" and involved in the rope industry. (pg 206)
Crystal Slam, taken by trolls a few times and they drop down dead. Manufacture is a hanging offense. (pg 218)
