Jack Adkisson Jr. March 7, 1959 Close The first member of the Von Erich family to pass away in The Iron Claw was Jack Adkisson Jr. Although Jack's death didn't occur on-screen, his tragic fate remains imperative to the story. Jack Adkisson Jr. was the first son of Jack Adkisson, otherwise known as Fritz Von Erich, and Doris Von Erich. According to the film, he died when he was very young, and his cause of death remains unclear. Jack's death deeply affects the Von Erichs.
David's death in The Iron Claw is fairly accurate to the real life event, however there is one aspect the movie avoids: the theory that David died of a drug overdose . Of the four Von Erich deaths depicted in The Iron Claw, Mike's story is the most changed. Although Mike did take his own life in 1987, the lead-up to this event was quite different. Mike Von Erich did not hurt his shoulder while wrestling, but received the injury while on a tour of Israel. This injury led to toxic shock syndrome and brain damage, which was worsened after a car accident. Like David, Mike was also married before his death, but the movie does not depict this.
