Or is he in every adaptation? Or is he just in the new movie? Although I am about to watch the original movie in a few minutes, at least let me know for the book.
He is alive in the Book. Of course, Grandpa is still the one that takes Charlie to the chocolate factory. Charlie's father is not in the original movie. I can't remember wheither they said he was dead or not. That is one the new movie did get more accurate.
