Verne Troyer death: Actor’s ex-girlfriend fears he’s going to HELL after he died age 49
Verne Troyer, who played Mini-Me in the Austin Powers movies, died at the weekend. Following the news of his death, his ex-girlfriend Ranae, penned a tribute on Facebook. In the post, Ranae, who dated the Hollywood star in 2008, acknowledged Verne had recently been baptised. But the former actress revealed her fears Verne won’t be sent to heaven because he didn’t “understand salvation”. In the message, she wrote: "Differences aside my heart is completely broken today.
"A close friend let me know that Verne has died, his public statement that I just saw states he was baptised recently. Baptism does not get you to heaven so my prayer is he understood salvation and was not just baptised.” Ranae revealed she sent Verne books, letters and a highlighted Bible for him to learn about salvation in the weeks before he died. She continued: ”With permission from my husband I have sent multiple letters and tons of books and a highlighted Bible explaining salvation. My prayer is he read it. I forgave him in my heart and in my letters I apologised and forgave him and can only pray he read them and knew Jesus. "It is so important to have true forgiveness for someone and to witness to them. I witnessed multiple times and a month ago sent another letter because my heart was burdened for him. "Two weeks after I mailed the letter he went to the hospital, now he is in eternity somewhere. My heart is broken."

Ranae added: "Please pray for his family and if they don't know Christ they will come to know him through this. Death is a sad thing when you are unsure about someone's salvation that is why witnessing to people is crucial." Ranae split from Verne in 2008 after a sex tape leaked of the two of them online. Earlier this month, Verne was admitted to hospital in Los Angeles after friends alerted emergency services saying the actor was "extremely upset, drunk and suicidal". It has now been reported Verne died from a “possible suicide,” with the Los Angeles County Coroner's Office claiming he had “a very high level of alcohol in his system" to People magazine. An official statement was released on Saturday on Verne’s Facebook page which announced his death. It read: "It is with great sadness and incredibly heavy hearts to write that Verne passed away today.
