There is no episode where it shows Hoss dying. He is simply in one episode and gone the next. Dan Blocker, who played the loveable Eric "Hoss" Cartwright, died from a blood clot the summer before the show's 14th and final season. I believe that Little Joe takes his girlfriend to a lake and tells her that his brother used to love that place. I think that is about the only reference that was made to Hoss that season. It's probably the first one or two episodes of the final season. The story in the newspaper was that Hoss was supposed to get married that season, but after Dan Blocker died they decided to have Little Joe get married. Sometimes bits of shows are cut when they are syndicated, so if you don't see this scene in an episode, you might try again when another channel runs the show.
