How Did Casper The Ghost Die?

Casper revealed parts of the Friendly Ghost’s backstory, including how he died, adding a layer of tragedy to his story. The adventures of Casper the Friendly Ghost started in a series of cartoons, and in 1995, he made the jump to the big screen in Casper, directed by Brad Silberling. Casper mixed live-action with CGI in order to bring the title ghost and his uncles, the Ghostly Trio, to life, becoming the first movie to have a fully CGI character in the lead role. Although Casper stayed true to the character’s sweetness and ideas against scaring humans, it also went on a darker path by exploring parts of Casper’s backstory.
