The tragic cause of death for 24-year-old Wisconsin football player Jack Pugh has been revealed. The Franklin County Coroner’s Office determined the ex-Badger died on March 30 from acute bronchopneumonia, an infection in the lung that causes severe inflammation in the airways.   Bronchopneumonia results from an underlying heart condition called cardiomyopathy, a disease of the heart muscle that makes it harder for the organ to pump blood to the rest of the body, per Medical News Today.
