Though some believe Ben may have sacrificed his life for Jennifer, others are convinced that Sparrow Ben saves himself and lets this woman die.

It has been known that Sparrow Ben is eager to prove himself and never thinks of others.

So, he may have put his reputation first instead of saving Jennifer, and this decision has probably returned to haunt him.

The Mysterious Death of Ben

Ben's death has sparked a huge debate since The Umbrella Academy started.

He has been dead even before the story begins, and the funeral flashback in the second season reveals he died at 17 in 2006.

Sir Reginald's (Colm Feore) eulogy confirmed his demise resulted from a mission gone wrong, and the inscription in his statue started the talks that he might have taken his own life.

As The Umbrella Academy Season 3 didn't reveal the real reason for Ben's death, many expect a big revelation is about to happen in the upcoming The Umbrella Academy Season 4.

Creator Steve Blackman told The Wrap the fourth season might be the series' end.

"I think if we got to season four, it would be a great ending for the run of the show," he said. "I'm not saying I couldn't do more, but you know, I think that would be very satisfying for the audience, four seasons."

If it happens, it might be the perfect time to explain who Jennifer is and what The Jennifer Incident is all about.

From there, the mysterious death of Ben may finally be explained.
