Death
In the Season 8 finale ("For Gedda"), Warrick was held for questioning after the murder of mafia boss Lou Gedda. Earlier in the season, Warrick had become involved with a woman connected with Gedda. After she was killed, Warrick became a prime suspect in her murder. During Warrick's investigation, rumors began that Gedda had a mole in the LVPD. Gedda phoned Warrick to inform him that he was "ready to talk". During the discussion, Warrick was framed for Gedda's murder. The night shift crew was kept from the case, which is processed by Conrad Ecklie and the day shift crew. Grissom requested that Ecklie allow them to process the raw evidence after the day shift crew has had their turn, in order to draw their own conclusions. In doing so, Grissom's team discovered that another LVPD officer was involved in Gedda's murder and the LVPD did not press charges against Warrick.
After Warrick's release, Grissom's team ate at a local diner to celebrate his acquittal. Nick asked Warrick if he wanted to go for a beer, but Warrick passes. As he headed to the back alley and got into his parked car, Undersheriff Jeffrey McKeen approached and asked him about the case. Warrick reminded him that Gedda's mole is still out there and that he will keep searching for him. The Undersheriff says to Warrick, "That's what makes you a great CSI", then shot him twice, cleaned the gun of his prints, dropped it in the car, walked away as Warrick slumped onto the steering wheel, and called in the shooting.
In the Season 9 premiere, Grissom discovered Warrick's body in his parked car. Grissom removed him from the car and discovered that Warrick was still alive. Warrick attempts to tell Grissom of his attacker, but is deterred by McKeen's brandishing of a gun out of view of the unsuspecting Grissom. McKeen is later apprehended and arrested. During the investigation of his death, papers were found in Warrick's apartment by Greg Sanders, disclosing that he had a son. In a video that was made, Warrick reveals his dedication to parenting a child and how he learned to care for people came from Grissom. Warrick's funeral is held a few days later and Grissom delivers an emotional eulogy, saying that he will miss him "so much". In the episode "Turn, Turn, Turn", it is revealed that Nick and some of the others have started a college fund for Warrick's son Eli.
In the CSI: Miami episode "Bone Voyage" when Det. Horatio Caine meets Raymond Langston for the first time, he says "I'm very sorry about Warrick Brown".
In the 7th Episode of Season 13 Warrick's Death is brought up when the CSI's discover a body at his burial site, hitting home for Nick, Sara, Greg and Jim.

Famous quotes containing the word death:
“I thought of all that worked dark pits
Of war, and died
Digging the rock where Death reputes
Peace lies indeed.”
—Wilfred Owen (1893–1918)
“There is a rhythm to the ending of a marriage just like the rhythm of a courtship—only backward. You try to start again but get into blaming over and over. Finally you are both worn out, exhausted, hopeless. Then lawyers are called in to pick clean the corpses. The death has occurred much earlier.”
—Erica Jong (b. 1942)
“Life folded Death; Death trellised Life; the grim god wived with youthful Life, and begat him curly-headed glories.”
—Herman Melville (1819–1891)
