Is that true?
I always thought it was from the German word 'heroisch', translated to heroic or feeling heroic. Didn't the German company Bayer name it? Originally marketed as a cough medicine!
Lots of children lose parents in tragic circumstances, and many go on to lead happy fulfilling lives without becoming drug addicts. Difficult to have sympathy with someone who has 2 healthy children, taking an overdose while looking after their own 11 month old son. Shameful really.
She hasn't got a daughter...she has 2 sons, Astala and Phaedra. She was looking after 11 month old Phaedra at the time.
*edit - I see that's already been pointed out.
