Sharon Raydor, a character in the TV show Major Crimes, died in season 6 due to her heart condition. Her death was foreshadowed throughout the season, and she ultimately died while interrogating a suspect in episode 9 "Conspiracy Theory: Part 4". Fans were shocked by her death, as there was an expectation that she would make it until the finale of the series. Creator James Duff later revealed that her death was designed to linger over the team in the last episodes and to give the show a sense of closure. Her death was controversial for fans, as it took away her agency just when the critical denouement was playing out. Sharon was buried in the next episode while the team focused on taking down the series villain Phillip Stroh.
