Parsons was killed off in an explosion.
Special Agent Richard Parsons, a character from the popular TV series “NCIS,” was introduced in the show’s tenth season as a Department of Defense investigator. He initially appeared as an antagonist, conducting a witch hunt against the NCIS team. However, his character took a turn when he began to see the value in the team’s methods and started to work with them. Parsons’ death occurred off-screen; he was killed in an explosion that was part of a plot orchestrated by a terrorist named Benham Parsa. This event took place between the end of Season 10 and the beginning of Season 11, and it was revealed to the audience in the premiere of Season 11. Parsons’ death was a catalyst for the team’s actions in the early part of that season, as they sought to bring Parsa to justice and cope with the loss of their former adversary turned ally.
