dailyloe.com – The CBS police drama ‘Blue Bloods’ has experienced multiple real-life tragedies. Several cast and crew members have passed away since the show’s 2010 debut. The most recent loss was actor Alex Duong in March 2026.
Duong, who played criminal Sonny Le, died from a rare cancer. His passing prompted a fundraiser for his family’s financial needs. The show has a history of honoring deceased colleagues with on-screen tributes.
Executive producer Leonard Goldberg and star Treat Williams also received dedications. These were often shown as tribute cards at the end of episodes. The series followed the fictional Reagan family in the NYPD.
It aired for 14 seasons, concluding its original run in 2024. The franchise has since spawned a spinoff series titled ‘Boston Blue’. This new show features Donnie Wahlberg’s character moving to the Boston Police Department.
The original ensemble cast included Tom Selleck as Commissioner Frank Reagan. Len Cariou played his father, Henry Reagan. The commissioner’s children were portrayed by Bridget Moynahan, Donnie Wahlberg, and Will Estes.
The show became a household name during its lengthy broadcast. Its end did not stop the flow of sad news from its extended family. The losses highlight the personal connections formed over a decade of production.[]
