Aiden Burn died a memorable but terrible death
It's hard not to be impacted when beloved characters die, and such was the case with Aiden Burn (Vanessa Ferlito), who meets with a horrible end during the penultimate episode of Season 2, "Heroes," after leaving the show earlier in the season.
Fans got to know the character during Season 1, and her Season 2 dismissal over her admission that she'd been willing to tamper with evidence left most of her ties to her colleagues intact. When we learn that Burn was beaten before being set on fire in a stolen car, her body so badly disfigured that it needs to be identified through forensic testing, it's a terrible shock for the audience and her ex-coworkers alike. Even though her murder finally leads to the conviction of serial rapist and stalker D.J. Pratt (Chad Williams) due to the fact that the clever Aiden managed to leave behind fire-proof evidence in the car and on her person, it was an incalculable loss to the show. It's also the only time "CSI: New York" ever killed off a main character.
Burn's death was so upsetting to fans that it's still remembered among some as a moment that's hard to forget. "Aiden Burn deserved better," tweeted @archivecsiny. "She died a horrible death, but she was so brave," wrote @Rachie323, along with the hashtag #FictionalDeathsIWillNeverGetOver. Another user named @ohitsbecky wrote, "After all this time, I'm still extremely upset that Aiden Burn had to die."
