0. Derek Shepherd (Patrick Dempsey) died in episode 21 of Grey's Anatomy.. ABC. SEATTLE -- Dr. Derek Christopher McDreamy Shepherd died on April 23, 2015, at the age of 49. The Grey Sloan Memorial Hospital surgeon, who specialized in neurosurgery, not only lived his life as a hero but also died as one.
In a shocking twist, the beloved character Dr. Derek Shepherd, aka McDreamy, was killed off in Thursdayâs episode of the ABC drama. The development is particularly surprising because Patrick Dempsey, 49, signed a two-year contract extension last year that would have kept him on Greyâs through a 12th season.
