Following the very bitter and public fight between Charlie Sheen and CBS, sources at the studio are telling TMZ that Two and a Half Men producers are close to deciding how to remove Sheen’s character (Charlie Harper) from the story.

One of their ideas is a very gruesome way for Harper to go…

Sources connected with the show tell TMZ … Chuck Lorre’s plan is to make sure Charlie Sheen can NEVER come back on the show. Although the first show won’t be filmed until August 5, producers have been kicking around scenarios, which include Charlie driving a car over a cliff.

Of course, it would be art imitating life, because two of Charlie Sheen’s cars went down a cliff on Mulholland Drive.

As for how Ashton Kutcher enters the picture, there’s been talk that he buys Charlie’s house after Charlie kicks the bucket.

Sources tell us … the first script still isn’t locked and Lorre often makes changes until close to taping, but it’s pretty clear — Charlie Harper is pushin’ up daisies.

Do you think this is a suitable way for Sheen’s character to go, or is it a little too much? We think it may be too harsh.
