how does deb die in dexter season 8
Debra Morgan In her first case, Debra helps Dexter catch Oliver Saxon (Darri Ingolfson), a serial killer known as "the Brain Surgeon". Dexter ultimately decides not to kill him, however, and asks her to arrest Saxon. Debra arrives just as Saxon is killing Deputy U.S. Marshall Cooper (Kenny Johnson), and draws her weapon. Saxon gets the drop on her, however, and shoots her in the abdomen.[33] In the series' final episode, "Remember the Monsters?", Debra is taken to the hospital, where she tells Quinn she loves him and wishes Dexter a happy life. Moments later, however, she suffers a massive stroke that leaves her in a persistent vegetative state. After killing Saxon, Dexter goes to see her in the hospital as it is being evacuated in the midst of a hurricane. He tearfully removes her life support, carries her body to his boat, and buries her at sea.[34]
Lennie Briscoe Briscoe died at some point between 2004 and 2005 (Orbach himself died on December 28, 2004). Although not addressed directly on the main series until 2008 (and mentioned again in 2009), his death was implied in 2005 and confirmed in 2007 on an episode of the Law & Order: Criminal Intent series. The three official mentions of his death were made by each of his three junior partners on the series, Mike Logan, Rey Curtis, and Ed Green.
