Anne Heche is "not expected to survive" following a horrific crash which left the Emmy-winning actor with a severe brain injury.

 

 

Quote

Anne Heche’s family and friends had been hoping for a miracle following the Emmy-winning actor’s horrific car crash last Friday. It didn’t come, and her closest ones are making the difficult decision to take her off life support after she was pronounced brain dead. She is being kept on a ventilator until it’s determined whether any organs not damaged in the crash and subsequent fire can be donated.

“Unfortunately, due to her accident, Anne Heche suffered a severe anoxic brain injury and remains in a coma, in critical condition. She is not expected to survive,” a rep for Heche’s family and friends told Deadline.

Yeah, I've never heard of cocaine being given in the hospital. She almost certainly received fentanyl, given her condition.

 

Sad stuff.

I did once, severe epistaxis.
 

But there’s no way a multiple system trauma/>30%bsa burn was given cocaine.

In a report from the Los Angeles County Medical Examiner-Coroner, obtained by PEOPLE, Heche had traces of cocaine and marijuana in her system before her death in August

 

She was sober during that scary video. @CastlevaniaNut18 is correct that she received fentanyl for therapeutic use. There was cocaine/cannabis in her system, but it looks like it was there from before, not something she took shortly before driving.

 

What ultimately killed her:

Additionally, the report indicates that Heche's burns were so bad that they prevented her body from effectively absorbing oxygen, which led to her "anoxic brain injury." This is ultimately what killed her.

On Aug. 5, Heche was behind the wheel of her Mini Cooper when she crashed into a Los Angeles home. Both her car and the residence caught fire, and it was later revealed through audio file recordings from the Los Angeles Fire Department that Heche was trapped in her vehicle for about 45 minutes before being rescued.
