Heather O’Rourke (1975-1988)
The child star rose to fame at a very early age when she appeared in the cult horror film ‘Poltergeist’.
Heather died in 1988 when she was only 12.
Heather was rushed to the hospital after showing signs of severe flu-lie symptoms and en route she suffered a cardiac arrest.
At the hospital, Heather was diagnosed with intestinal stenosis and went into emergency surgery but after she left the operating table she suffered another heart attack and passed.
The autopsy revealed that the youngster had died from congenital stenosis of the intestine complicated by septic shock.
Doctors were baffled as to why she had never shown any symptoms of the condition before that fateful day.
