In 1997 he began working on Skärgårdsdoktorn, a highly successful drama series in Sweden and Norway. After it ended in 2000, Lagerlöf worked on several Beck-films, before returning to television. His last completed project was the three-part mini-series Bibliotekstjuven (the Library Thief), written by his wife Marie Lagerlöf.

Disappearance
On October 6, 2011, Lagerlöf disappeared during preparations for the filming of Camilla Läckberg's Fjällbackamorden - Strandriddaren. While scouting a planned filming location in the Tjurpannan nature reserve, Lagerlöf was caught by large waves sweeping the area and pulled to sea near the steep cliffs outside Tanumshede in Bohuslän. Despite a two day search, no signs or remans were found, and Lagerlöf was presumed deceased. [1][2][3] On August 23, 2013, almost two years after his disappearance, remains matching his description were found near the area where the accident occurred, the remains were sent for analysis to determine their identity.[4] However, the analysis revealed that the remains were not human in origin.
