__NOTOC__
:''You may be looking for York's imposter, [[Kevin Carroll]].''
'''Alan W. York''' was the father of [[Janet York]]. He was murdered shortly before midnight on [[Season 1|Day 1]] and was impersonated by [[Kevin Carroll]].

==Biography==
Alan York was an accountant with the [[San Fernando Valley]] firm of [[Williams and King]]. He played golf weekly with his brother [[Joseph York|Joseph]]. His ex-wife lived in [[Sydney]], [[Australia]], and had virtually no contact with either Alan or Janet. {{cite|factu}}

===Death===
York was murdered and his body hidden in the trunk of a car left on [[Avenue 26]]. Meanwhile, a man claiming to be York (actually [[Kevin Carroll]]) contacted [[Teri Bauer]] and offered to help find their daughters. As York, Carroll took Teri into his confidence and they searched together for several hours.

[[Ira Gaines]] instructed [[Greg Penticoff]] to dispose of the car, not knowing that [[Jack Bauer]] was using Penticoff to get to him. When they discovered the body in the trunk, the fingers and teeth had been removed, making identification difficult. The body was sent back to CTU, where forensics expert [[Perry Tanaka]] traced its identity using a surgical pin. {{cite|1x05s|1x06s}}

Once the body had been identified as Alan York, [[Nina Myers]] attempted to contact Jack with the information. However, Jack was then under Gaines' control and unreachable, so Nina called Teri and told her to let Jack know when she had a chance. At that point, Teri realized that the man calling himself Alan York was an impostor. {{cite|1x06s}}

==Background information and notes==
* This is one of the few times a named character appears only as a corpse, or in more than one episode as a corpse. Another example is [[David Goss]]. Additionally, York is one of the few characters who appears in multiple episodes solely as a corpse, another being [[Henry Powell]].
* The time of Alan York's death was placed between 11pm and midnight the day before Day 1. However, if this was inaccurate, he may have been killed after midnight (albeit off-camera). If he was killed off-screen during the first episode, his would be the first death during Day 1, but this is unconfirmed.
* In the 2013 [[24/India|Indian version of ''24'']], Alan's counterpart is [[Abhay Gupta]].
