Ok, poltergeist trilogy, just checked on Wikipedia
You had to CHECK?!?!?!
Yup! not ashamed
Wow…
Hey, I saw the movie in the theaters, and I’d forgotten
Sad to say-now she is one.
You had to look it up? Shame on you, Great Movie!
Now Haley Joel Osment sees her.
bowel obstruction killed this poor girl, as i recall. tragic, she was just a child.
I know
So sad…
This movie made it hard to sleep with a tv in the bedroom for awhile!
Whoa… She would have grown up beautiful
I think the comparison here is a bit of a stretch.
My understanding is that she died from a flu-like disease. They were producing the third movie, and she never let on how sick she was. She apparently collapsed on the set.
She died from Meckel’s diverticulum- sorta like a rare appendicitis.
She died of a bowel obstruction that was constantly misdiagnosed. She was diagnosed with everything from water contamination to being bitten by something. First she was diagnosed with Crohn’s Disease, so they put her on cortisone (which is why her cheeks were so puffy during the third movie), which obviously didn’t help, because her intestines were blocked with stool, not inflamed. She actually first got sick during the filming of the second movie, when she was about 7-8. She did die during the filming of the third movie, but she did not collapse on the set. The crew was on a four month hiatus, so Heather went home to San Diego to see her parents (P3 was filmed in Chicago). In the days leading up to her death, she suffered from “flu-like” symptoms. The years of stool accumulating in her bowels finally took its toll one night – her bowel burst, spewing thousands of millions of bacteria into her peritoneum (abdominal cavity). As the hours went by, and the rupture went untreated (she woke up in the night complaining of abdominal pain, but kids get tummy aches all the time), the bacteria made their way to her bloodstream, causing septic shock. It was the next morning, as she was getting ready for school, that she noticed that she couldn’t swallow (her throat was swollen), and her fingers were turning blue (the blood was leaving her extremities to rush towards her vital organs to try to save them). She then collapsed on the kitchen floor. She was rushed to the hospital, where it took them HOURS to finally figure out what was wrong with her, and she died during the surgery to repair her intestine and flush out the bacteria in her system. Her official cause of death is cardiopulmonary arrest due to septic shock. Basically septic shock is when there is so much bacteria in the bloodstream that it completely overtakes the body and organs shut down. Mortality rate is high, even with today’s medicine.
Sorry for the long novel, but I’m a huge fan of Poltergeist and I’m also a medical student (well, a veterinary technology student, but we still learn all that anatomy and pathology stuff).
Thank you for the explanation.
She’s dead
wat movie is it called
so true, where is she now?
She IS dead people.
Sad to say it, but a cemetery.
Discovered these movies due to late night television. Any instance where she get a little bit of love is awesome. She will always be the first and the best!
