Alexandra Borgia (d. April 26, 2006) was an Assistant District Attorney on Law & Order from 2005-2006. She was kidnapped, brutally beaten, and killed in the episode "Invaders", and was succeeded in the District Attorney's office by Connie Rubirosa.
As a defense attorney, Borgia was strong, tough and determined. She was also quite clever, thinking up several loopholes to get suspects to confess to crimes, most notably with April Troost.
Death
In 2006, Borgia was kidnapped by two men linked with a case Borgia had prosecuted. While being held captive, she was violently beaten up. During this ordeal, Borgia vomited out of stress and fear but unfortunately, she was still gagged and suffocated on her own vomit, resulting in her death. Her beaten corpse was later found in the boot of a car. This death devastated Jack McCoy, who had grown close to Borgia. Eventually, the trial for her murder was passed on to a different Assistant District Attorney due to McCoy being too emotionally involved with the case.
