No, Jack did not have to die to save Rose in the Titanic

This position holds that Jack did not have to die at the end of Titanic. It argues the floating panel was large enough for two, that a life jacket tied beneath it (as MythBusters showed) would have added buoyancy, and that Rose's own life jacket could have kept Jack out of the freezing water.
