The event that triggered Mr. Pignati's death was the discovery that his home had been wrecked by John and Lorraine's irresponsible actions while he was away.
In the story, Mr. Pignati has to stay in the hospital after a heart attack; meanwhile, in his absence, both John and Lorraine step forward to take care of Mr. Pignati's home. However, during Mr. Pignati's absence, the two classmates decide to hold a party. They invite a few friends over, but soon, more people show up. The kids play loud music and use the living room for a dance floor. In short, everyone treats Mr. Pignati's house carelessly, wrecking and damaging many of his belongings while they are there.
One of Lorraine and John's friends, Norton, destroys Mr. Pignati's pig collection by throwing the porcelain pigs against the wall or smashing them on the table. Although John beats up Norton for his despicable behavior, it is too late. The pigs have been irreversibly damaged beyond repair. Lorraine's friend, Helen, also manages to rip one of Conchetta's beautiful dresses. Mr. Pignati returns in the midst of all the fracas and is thoroughly grieved and hurt at what he sees. It is quite possibly the immense emotional trauma Mr. Pignati suffers that exacerbates his heart condition and leads to his premature death. The hurt he conceivably experienced when he realized the extent of John and Lorraine's betrayal must have been indescribable.
