on law and order what happened to claire kincaid
Claire Kincaid In the episode "Aftershock", Kincaid is killed just as she is considering leaving the DA's office; her car is struck by a drunk driver as she takes an inebriated Lennie Briscoe (Jerry Orbach) home from a bar.[5] McCoy is haunted by her death, as evidenced by his intense, legally questionable efforts to prosecute a drunk driver[9] and his indignation at being questioned about the circumstances of her death.[10] Following her death, Briscoe re-enters Alcoholics Anonymous and remains sober for the rest of his life; it is implied that he feels his drinking was responsible for her death.[11]
