CSI: Why Gary Dourdan's Warrick Exited During Season 9
Here's why Gary Dourdan's fan-favorite Warrick Brown left the show during CSI: Crime Scene Investigation season 9. Crime procedural CSI: Crime Scene Investigation debuted on CBS in 2000 and follows the titular team of investigators who used science to solve murders or other crimes. The show's use of science and its likable cast of characters — including William Petersen's Gil Grissom and Marg Helgenberger's Catherine — saw it become one of the biggest shows in the world during its run. Fans were confused when CSI season 9 saw Warrick's death. So why did CSI kill off the beloved character?
