I see that the original question is years old, but I found it with the one answer as a result of my own Google search. Having heard the following reference to Claire's death today in the aforementioned "Under the Influence" episode, I began myself to wonder how Claire had died. clearly I'd missed one or more continuous episodes in my non-sequential watching of reruns. The following dialog caught my ear and led to my Internet search, and adds to the "explanation" of Claire's death as follows: Briscoe to Ross talking about McCoy: "Do you mean has he said 'This one was for Claire Kincaid?' No. That guy got twelve months at Mount McGregor." Ross: "Yeah I know, I pulled the file. You were in the car with her." Briscoe: "Yeah, I was catching a ride home. Claire came down to the bar to pick up McCoy, he'd already split. Bad timing all around." Not that Claire's death is contested or anything, but I also agree that her death and the subsequent references to it were kind of under-played to the point where many fans seem to have missed it entirely!
