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 In the 2007 Criminal Intent episode "Renewal", Mike Logan mentions that Briscoe has died, but that he still sees him alive in his dreams.[37] In the 2008 Law & Order episode "Burn Card", Ed Green says that he returned to gambling briefly after Briscoe died.[38] In the 2009 Law & Order episode "Fed", Rey Curtis returns to New York to bury his deceased wife Deborah, who had finally succumbed to complications related to multiple sclerosis. He reveals to Lt. Van Buren that he had spoken with Briscoe a few days before his death, and that he was his old wisecracking self right up to the end.[39]
