I was looking for an event that would fire or a way to tell if the user was leaving a page. Either to navigate to another page or closing the page alltogether. Is this possible through the events that fire?

Not in ASP.NET per se.
You will have to write some front-end javascript to do this using something like
window.onbeforeunload(). Then you’d have to make an AJAX call to tell your back-end that this event is happening. This isn’t foolproof, of course. A browser crash or a forced “quit” would not fire this event.
