"This Is Us' Reveals How Jack Died

NBC’s award winning drama This Is Us has finally revealed how Jack Pearson, played by Milo Ventimiglia, died. The show has been teasing the life-changing event since its first season, always leaving fans just short of the truth. There was plenty of speculation surrounding the death of the beloved character – everything from being killed by Miguel to dying in a drunken car accident. However, it turned out the answer was a simple one: he died of cardiac arrest after inhaling smoke during a fire. His death has been teased throughout the series, but never revealed other than the fact that each Pearson kid somehow feels responsible for causing it.
