I can't remember if it was shown on-screen or just referenced, but she was killed off:

Yeah they acknowledged her death in season 2 using it as his reasoning for going rogue was her death.
I am honestly pretty damn disappointed, I hate when they "white-wash" characters or change them for the sake of representation. Please just create new characters if you want to introduce diversity instead of changing established characters. Other wise we would not have such great characters as Miles Morales, Spider-Gwen, Blue Beetle/Hime Reyes, ect.....
But from my understanding the reason is bc when the show started DC was in its DC New 52 phase, but when they rebooted in 2013 or so with Rebirth DC made Aqualad/Kaldor Gay/Homo-sexual(Sorry not sure which phrase is more appropriate). So I believe this was the excuse or Green-Light for them to have this scene. But As I said before I am disappointed by the choice, I wish they would just have introduced a new a character to represent/inclusion for LBGTQ communities.
