Brokeback Mountain should be renamed Heartbroke Mountain after its heart wrenching ending. Jack realizes that he and Ennis will never be together, because Ennis is too afraid to live openly. Later, Ennis attempts to reconnect, but discovers Jack is dead. Jack was probably the victim of a hate crime.
Regarding this, how does Jack die in Brokeback Mountain?
In a strained telephone conversation, Jack's wife, Lureen, tells Ennis that Jack died in an accident while changing a tire. While she explains what happened, images of Jack being beaten to death by three men flash across the screen. Lureen tells Ennis that Jack wished to have his ashes scattered on Brokeback Mountain.

So they rewrite the story, including all kinds of boyfriends and new lovers and so forth after Jack is killed.
No, it was based off a novella written by Annie Proulx, a Pulitzer Prize winning author. It was featured in Close Range: Wyoming Stories I. I read Brokeback Mountain myself. Finished it 3 minutes ago.
