If they've killed him off, I'll do cartwheels. The moron delivers EVERY stinkin' line as if he's Laurence Olivier doing Hamlet on valium. And he pulled the single biggest bonehead move in TV history when he thought to himself:
"You know what? I'm gonna leave this NYPD Blue show and go make movies.".

I was shocked when I saw the end of it last night. 
Half hoping he's not coming back, half hoping he does. His one-liners are so lame sometimes, I can't help but find myself waiting to hear what he says. 
Not sure how true this is, but it's funny none-the-less.
CRANKY CARUSO BULLIES 'CSI' - New York Post
March 17, 2008 -- DAVID Caruso's ego has grown just as big as the ratings for his hit CBS show, "CSI: Miami." On-set sources say he rewrites every scene he's in and instructs the director on how to do his job.
According to e-mails sent to Defamer.com, "[Caruso] can't walk and talk at the same time - you should see him on stairs. He requires dozens of takes for simplest line readings and can't even put his 'CSI' gloves on on camera. He will cuss uncontrollably, often in front of a child actor, and blame everyone but himself for his inability to act."
The insider continued, "He rewrites every scene he is in, so he is totally to blame for the hackneyed one-liners. He will take anything the writers give him and destroy it. And the sunglasses bit is all his, a truly innovative contribution to his character. But as he said to us many times, 'What should I do? I am a grown man with red hair.'
"We used to call the Diet Coke his 'acting juice,' and he once asked the director of photography to make it seem like he was flying to the crime scene, explaining that [his character] Horatio is actually a mythical superhero. For real."
Another on-set spy added: "Caruso asks when, in the scene, there will be a close-up of the sunglasses - in every scene."
But an ally of Caruso fumed, "David's one-liners and sunglasses have become branded and are iconic TV moments. Everyone from Jim Carrey to David Letterman has joined the bandwagon parodying them. David headlined last year's CBS upfront presentation delivering the entire CBS lineup with his one-liners and wearing sunglasses. Justifying his acting ability is ridiculous.
"David has been working opposite Richard Gere, Russell Crowe and Robert De Niro and headlines a top-rated TV series. It is clear his acting speaks for itself."
As for alleged indiscretions on-set, the ally adds, "Occasionally spitting or cursing on the set? Well, find me an adult male - or female, for that matter - who hasn't done that. All in all, 'CSI: Miami' is a hugely successful show, and for David, his life is all about the show and his kids."
Caruso's rep declined to comment.

Don't know how many here are "experienced" enough to remember "Hawaii-Five-O", but this sounds exactly like Jack Lord's behavior. And as far as the rewriting, he did the same on "Blue" until he quit on them. So maybe this really is a precursor to him leaving the show. Hey! You think they'd bring Dennis Franz in as his replacement and watch the rating skyrocket?
I was shocked when I saw the end of it last night.
Hope he doesn't return.
Question is - who gets his job?
And the phone call whatisname gets, is he in on it?
I can't wait till next season.

Horatio sent a text message right before he was shot; it could have been from him.And the phone call whatisname gets, is he in on it?
True, true - of course they've made it look either way.
We'll just have to wait and see.....

My theory is this:
If he signed his contract then he had the text message set to go. He was wearing heated kevlar(remember the "special break-apart bullet"?) Once the round hit his vest he went to the ground and sent the message: "It is done". Hoping to lure the shooter out. My bet is the shooter is Daniel J. Travanti, who played Frank Furillo on Hill St Blues. That was Caruso's first big role as the Irish gang leader.
Of course if he DIDN't sign the contract then he's dead and Jimmy Smits will take his place.
