Oh gosh, although I'm a bit late, I just saw this on reddit an came to the same conclusion that it must have been Heather O'Rourke. Additionally, i wanted to mention that IMDB says she died on February 1, 1988 in San Diego, California, USA (cardiopulmonary arrest and intestinal stenosis) But I remember that the original official story was that she died of pneumonia. Anyone else remember this?

no such thing as late on Voat :) :)

Yes, I think a lot of people remember. I thought before today it was some rare stomach ulcer. I remember years ago hearing about it in the E TRUE HOLLYWOOD STORY of Poltergeist but after today on Voat, looked at Wikipedia, and says she died from "septic shock" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heather_O%27Rourke

Also, slightly inconsistent is that Heather's mom says she died after being taken ill at home, but the blind implies she (if it is Heather) was at a studio when the incident that killed her happened. The mom could have been paid off to lie about the time line maybe?

Poor girl! Pisses me off when MD's miss a dx. Here's some stats on Crohn's. Babies (0-2 years): very rare Toddlers (3-5 years): very rare Children (6-13 years): rare Teenagers (14-18 years): rare Young adults (19-40 years): common Adults (41-60 years): rare Seniors (60+ years): rare She was way to young to have Crohn's. Md should have been suspicious. She would have had a hx. of GI problems, most likely. Doctor was either incompetent, lazy or paid off to give a BS dx.
