Death
Speed dies in the Season 3 opening episode, "Lost Son", after being mortally wounded during a gunfight in a jewellery store. He and Caine brace themselves for a fight, but Speedle's gun jams almost immediately, giving one of the thieves an opportunity to shoot him in the chest and heart. Caine calls for an ambulance, but Speedle succumbs to his injuries before help arrives, dying in Caine's arms. Speedle's death leaves the team, especially Caine and Delko, devastated.
Speedle's position on the team was later taken by Ryan Wolfe, a former Miami-Dade Police Department patrol officer.

Famous quotes containing the word death:
“There is no such thing as an ugly language. Today I hear every language as if it were the only one, and when I hear of one that is dying, it overwhelms me as though it were the death of the earth.”
—Elias Canetti (b. 1905)
“It is a strange, strange fate, and now, as I stand face to face with death I feel just as if they were going to kill a boy. For I feel like a boy—and my hands so free from blood and my heart always so compassionate and pitiful that I cannot comprehend how anyone wants to hang me.”
—Roger Casement (1864–1916)
“Our love is old, our lives are old,
And death shall come amain:
Should it come today, what man may say
We shall not live again?”
—Langdon Smith (1858–1908)
