Did George from Young Sheldon die in real life? Actor Lance Barber’s whereabouts explored

Young Sheldon Season 7 ended on a bittersweet note, bidding goodbye to Lance Barber’s George Cooper, the patriarch of the Cooper family.

Because of The Big Bang Theory canon, which also serves as the parent show to this spin-off, fans anticipated George’s death following Season 7. But these anticipations also created rumors that did George from Young Sheldon die in real life?

To end these speculations for once and for all, George did not die in real life. However, his character died in the finale of the spin-off.

Since their showrunners already established the fact that the spin-off exists in the same universe as that of its parent show, fans were bracing for George’s death.

While the show has deviated from some plotlines from TBBT like George’s cheating, this is a canon event in Sheldon’s life and could not have been skipped because of its multiple mentions in the original show.

The finale of the spin-off finally addressed George’s death as the Cooper family finally gathered for George’s farewell.
