‘Poltergeist’ star's family fights back against 'ridiculous' conspiracy theories 38 years after her death

It has been 38 years since Heather O’Rourke’s death, yet her family continues to endure the shadow of painful rumors that have refused to fade.

The child star, who rose to fame as Carol Anne Freeling in 1982’s "Poltergeist," died in 1988 from complications of intestinal stenosis. She was just 12 years old and preparing for the release of "Poltergeist III."

Now, O’Rourke is the subject of a new documentary, "Heather O'Rourke: She Was Here," which features rare interviews with her family, friends and co-stars.
