One of the most highly anticipated returns to television this fall is NBC's "This Is Us," which captivated hearts when it debuted in September last year. Since then, the show delivered a blow week by week, with shocking twists and turns that ultimately led to one big question—how does Milo Ventimiglia's Jack Pearson lose his life in the series? The fundamental question has led to multiple fan theories that involved drunk driving, terminal cancer, and even murder. None of these theories have been confirmed or denied by the cast and crew of the massively popular drama series, but one thing's for sure: fans will soon find out more about Jack's death when "This is Us" season 2 returns.
