Following a tragic death in the recent episode of Chicago Fire, fans are curious as to who is leaving the show. Contrary to ongoing speculation that points to Carver’s death, the latest episode revealed a shattering twist at the end of Episode 15.
Here’s everything we know about who didn’t make it in the latest episode of Chicago Fire.

Is KaDee Strickland’s Monica Pascal leaving Chicago Fire in Season 13?
Yes, KaDee Strickland is stepping down from Chicago Fire as Monica Pascal after the character’s recent death, which shocked fans.
Episode 15 of Chicago Fire in Season 13, titled “Too Close,” ended on a devastating note for Dom Pascal, who lost his wife, Monica. Although fans had braced for a tragedy, as the promo hinted at a death, which no one saw coming. Monica Pascal lost her life after sustaining internal injuries resulting from a violent car crash. This happened just before she met Dom for their anniversary dinner at a restaurant.
Needless to say, the shocking revelation of seeing Monica at the crash site as one of the victims has left both fans and the other tearful characters in despair. This marks the end of the road for KaDee Strickland in the show. Strickland joined the cast of Chicago Fire in 2024 when she was cast as Dom’s estranged wife, Monica Pascal. Fans first met her in the debut episode of Season 13, titled “A Monster in the Field.” She has been a series regular since. However, after just one season, fans must bid Monica adieu.
Naturally, fans have expressed their heartbreak over the devastating loss that has now plagued the Battalion Chief and the team. The upcoming episode, titled “In the Rubble,” will see the aftermath of the tragedy and Pascal in shambles trying to grapple with the crippling grief. What caused the traffic light failure that led to the accident remains unclear. Hopefully, this will be addressed in Episode 16.
