Tyrell chooses to end his life rather than face imprisonment or exposure. This is treated as a factual occurrence within the narrative timeline, confirmed by other characters like Angela. However, viewers must navigate Elliot's unreliable perspective. While Tyrell's death is real in the show's continuity, Elliot's memories of leading up to it are often filtered through dissociation and mental illness. Season Four confirms his absence permanently.
