Drag Queen Heklina Found Dead

OP in the *Man triggered by rainbows on boys T-shirts in Target* thread:

[quote]They are pushing deranged gender ideology on children. Target was selling chest binders for kids for Pride. This father, while comes across as crazy, is correct. They are doing this on purpose. The gay community needs to wake the fuck up already.

Hoping this is Jackie being cunty.

Apparently its not, D.E.P Heklina.

Im guessing OP is posting this so her frau friends can be cunts to gay men dying.

Peaches Christ is a fabulous name.

Something is up

Lady Bunny is confirming this. It still feels like a joke though. Fuck.

Wow. I loved Trannyshack.

R7 is it like Caddyshack?

Yeah, it's true. This is so sad. Can't we have one fucking day that something shitty doesn't happen. Just one?

[quote]Can't we have one fucking day that something shitty doesn't happen. Just one?

MARY!

It’s pronounced “Heck-lin-a”.

Wow. Huge loss for SF. Oasis is a wonderful place.and Trannyshack was such fun.

R9 That's a challenge, considering nearly 8,000 people die every single day in the U.S. alone.

r13 yeah but not all of them are fabulous drag queens.

Oasis in SF is having a gathering. That was her home turf. If you're in town, might be nice to drop by for some booze and stories.

Awww, you can sit on her face! I think she would have liked that.

Sad news

Bump

The much beloved Coco Peru tweeted this a bit ago.

Bianca from a couple of hours ago:

It's very sad. Heklina was a terrific person...a rude, crude, vulgar, filthy mouthed old school drag bitch. With a heart of tinfoil.

Trannyshack was an amazing drag show...gritty, nasty, political, filthy drag. Not the sterilized shit you see on RPDR.

She'll be missed.

Grateful for her contribution, may she rest on peace, but also glad a lot of things pass with her. The edginess spilled over into being an absolute cunt quite often. Truest words are said in jest and all.

The local Bay Area news had a segment on her passing, it included a montage of moments of her Golden Girls re-enactments. I laughed out loud from just the clips, which didn’t even have sound! RIP.

Yes. By all means let us hope "edginess" goes away in drag and we have more TikTok teens lip syncing to tv shows and bubble gum songs. That's the future of drag!!

I miss the days when someone would use "MARY!" when someone was overreacting to something small, and not on anyone who shows even an ounce of real human emotion or compassion.

But I guess when we let straights invade the board, it'll become a shitty board full of shitty people.

[quote]may she rest on peace, but also glad a lot of things pass with her

Just a whole slew of rotten, ugly people on DL these days.

Not even sure what kind of person believes drag would become sweet and fun and light with the death of one drag queen, either. An ugly, rotten, and also DUMB person, I guess.

r22, any stories? I always thought she was pretty well-liked by all. Sad to hear she could be a snatch.

Knowing Heklina, it went something like this

I agree r24. The "Disneyfication" of Drag has not exactly been the best thing for it to put it mildly. I like my Queens with plenty of cuntery and "edginess". Raunchy and witty. Bring it! And bring it she did.

Meant to tag R21 as well on my post above. Fuck. Where are my nerve pills....

I'm sorry for your loss, R26. Eat a steaming buffet of shit after an appropriate mourning period.

[QUOTE] it included a montage of moments of her Golden Girls re-enactments

I was lucky to see one of those live when I was on holiday in San Francisco. The cast also did Roseanne - Heklina was amazing as Darlene - one of the funniest things I've ever seen on stage.

I had tickets to the show in London on April 22 and was really looking forward to seeing Heklina again what awful news to wake up to.

R22 You fucking sack of shit...you come after Heklina then have the gall to come after people calling you out for being a fucktard.

I hope you gag on your own bile.

She was 108.

Not a chance, R33, Heklina was fully human, no matter how much you hate hearing it, and death doesn't exonerate the full spectrum of who she was.

Boulet Brothers

@ R25

See R13

[quote]death doesn't exonerate the full spectrum of who she was

Nobody here believes you actually knew Heklina.

Was this one also a pedophile like the one murdered by a kind soul in Wales?

As per R27, I once went to a Tranny Shack show and Heklina was hosting. It was a “best of” show and the last contestant of the night had his mother in the audience. Heklina made a big deal of her being there and how proud she must be. The performer comes onstage and it’s a guy wearing a g-string and cowboy hat, while carrying a bugle. He then starts playing the star spangled banner, mid-song he turns his profile and slowly pulls an American flag out his ass. It was one of the best performances I’ve ever seen. When he was done Heklina made a BIG deal about his mother being present. It was amazing! Tranny Shack was a fantastic place.

Do we know how she died yet?

R1 caught the situation, good looking out

I eat piles and piles piles and piles piles and piles piles and piles piles and piles piles and piles piles and piles AND! HUGE! PILES! of maggot infested shit.

Bump

[quote]Do we know how she died yet?

"The death is being treated as “unexpected” and is under investigation. An autopsy has not yet been completed to determine the cause of death as of Wednesday morning."

Everyone who had been around her the past few weeks is shocked, so it seems she wasn't ill. So awful for her best friend/collaborator who found her.

Heklina was a 'he'. Please don't misgender him.

Could have been drugs. Could have been a heart attack. Could have been a heart attack from drugs. The Brits are really bad when it comes to determining cause of death. I wouldn’t trust their findings for shit.

55. Stocky. Liked "stimulants".

It's a heart attack.

[QUOTE]The Brits are really bad when it comes to determining cause of death

I guess we don't get as much practice as the Yanks.

is r44 the coroner's report?

I want my death announced by Peaches Christ as well

Update from Peaches Christ. Link to her public FB page below, and here is the update for non FB users:

Peaches Christ 21h

I will be flying home to San Francisco from London tomorrow, Friday. I have been waiting for some more news about Heklina and the possible release of our possessions before returning. The latest: “A forensic post mortem was completed by Dr Poole on 06/04/2023 at 1530hrs at Westminster mortuary. Dr Poole’s findings were that there is no obvious sign of an assault and no sign of foul play. Further tests will need to be conducted to help find a cause of death.”

I’m relieved for a number of reasons. This determination meant our apartment is no longer considered a crime scene and I’m now waiting for an officer to collect me and escort me there so that I can collect our stuff. I am slightly afraid to return but intend to walk through my fear. I look forward to reuniting with Nihat at home tomorrow night. I’m ready to collapse. Thank you for all the love and support. I’ve been receiving it fully while trying to stay focused here.

r39 That drag queen you mention wasn't a pedophile, either. He was sent to youth prison, as a 16 yo, for sexual violence against an "under-16" kid according to reports, which means that, while he may have been a rapist, he wasn't a pedophile. Stop using gay spaces to spread homophobic propaganda from misandrist radfems.

This needs to be an episode of "Marple".

Jane uses her connections to Sir Hugo Clithering to get access to the world of international drag performers.

Special Guest Star: Jinkx Monsoon as Cheryl

Aw, he was cute out of drag.

Dramatic even in her death.

another update:

My ex & BFF were longtime close friends of Stefan aka Heklina.

He was not a drug user.

I suspect he was killed.

That nightlife world can be very shady, dark, greedy with sometimes oodles of cash being around.

Remember the Michael Alig / Gatien / Angel murder/ situation?

Heklina huffed more poppers than than a YMCA full of gay porn stars.

Foul play has been ruled out R58

Any stories you'd like to tell us about him in or out of drag?

"Foul Play Not Suspected"

Is not the same as "ruled out".

Theyve yet to do an autopsy

Her memorial sounds like it was a blast.

What and interesting guy. Chippewa and Icelandic

I miss her already. This one hurts deeply.

[quote] She died in April. This is August. How long does it take to figure out cause of death?
