Heche, the Daytime Emmy-winner who starred opposite Harrison Ford in the 1998 hit film Six Days Seven Nights, was pronounced dead earlier this month just days after her vehicle crashed into a Los Angeles home and burst into flames.

In a video circulating across Instagram, allegations are made that the film is based around the life of deceased pedophile Jeffrey Epstein.
