The writers didn't "choose" to kill off Lincoln. His actor, Ricky Whittle, chose to leave the show as he felt it was a "bad work environment" and wasn't happy there. So the writers had no choice but to kill him off. And it's too bad, because Lincoln was probably THE greatest character they have/had on the show.
