In which season did Warrick Brown die?

Warrick Brown died in Season 9 of CSI: Crime Scene Investigation. The character, played by Gary Dourdan, was killed in the season premiere after being framed for the murder of a Las Vegas judge and then shot by corrupt police officer Jeffrey McKeen.

Warrick’s death followed a major cliffhanger at the end of Season 8. In that finale, he was found at the scene of the judge’s murder, leaving his colleagues uncertain whether he had been involved. Season 9 resolved the mystery quickly and made the loss a major emotional turning point for the team, especially Gil Grissom and Catherine Willows.

The episode “For Warrick” shows the immediate aftermath of the killing and the team’s effort to uncover the truth. Warrick had been part of the regular cast since the series began, making his departure one of the show’s most significant early cast changes. A common mistake is placing his death in Season 8 because the preceding cliffhanger occurs there, but the actual death and its resolution belong to Season 9.
