How did they explain him dying?

They didn't exactly say. Dolph Sweet, who played Chief Carl Kanisky, died of cancer right before the season finale aired. I guess it was a heart attack, or maybe he was killed in a shoot out. Here's what I wish had happened: He finds out his daughter Julie eloped with Jonathan, the idiot pizza delivery boy, and fainted dead away.

They never really did say. When the chief's deupty brought his things to Nell in a box, she started to unpack it and got sad when she saw his gun. I was guessed he fell in the line of duty. Maybe she was just upset that he died.

I had been watching the entire show (Season 1 to 6) and the last few episodes of season 4 are quite sad to watch the cancer getting to Dolph Sweet , the weight loss and his acting , you could tell he was in pain.Extremely sad to watch.The show was never the same without him..

Even in the last episode he did, he did a good job. I loved it when he came down the stairs after Jonathan called up to Julie that he loved her and replied, "Doesn't any other house in Glenlawn ever order pizza?" I would have loved to see his reaction to Julie and Jonathan eloping. I would've written that he fainted dead away when he found out.

Well, it was different, because his character was important to the show. Still, the 5th season wasn't terrible. The 6th and final season has moments, but I think when Julie and Jonathan leave for San Jose, that should've been the finale. Why bother to do the show in NY? We have enough shows that take place in NY anyway, and will have plenty more.
