Anne Heche Not Likely To Survive Car Crash
Anne Heche, the 50-year-old American actress, best known for her roles in Superman: Doomsday and Rampart, has raised concerns after being involved in a car crash that has left her with a severe brain injury and a slim chance of survival. She is also Ellen DeGeneres’ ex-girlfriend.
On August 5, Heche’s car crashed into a home on the west side of the Los Angeles neighborhood of Mar Vista. The Los Angeles Fire Department reports that about 60 firefighters worked to rescue the car’s sole occupant, Heche, from the residence after a fire broke out. They put out the flames after more than an hour.
One of Ann’s representatives mentioned that she had suffered a severe anoxic brain injury and that she remains in a critical condition, which lowers her chances of survival.
She also continued to say that it has been in Ann’s interest to donate her organs. In view of this, she is being kept on life support to check if any of her organs are viable.
In a release, the family thanked the team and nurses at Grossman Burn Center at West Hills Hospital in Los Angeles for caring for Anne.
Heche crashed into a Los Angeles home, leaving her with significant injuries, and police claimed earlier on Thursday that they were looking into whether she was intoxicated while driving.
LAPD spokesperson Officer Jeff Lee reported that detectives with a search warrant took a sample of Heche’s blood and found drugs in her system. But toxicology tests, which might take weeks to complete, are required to differentiate the drugs from those she may have received for treatment at the hospital, where she stayed Thursday, six days after the accident.
Spokeswoman Heather Duffy Boylston said that Anne lost consciousness shortly after the collision, entered a coma, and is currently in a life-threatening condition. She requires surgery to treat her burns and assistance in breathing due to a severe lung injury.
Anne was pretty friendly and generous with everyone she met. Beyond sharing her exceptional talent, she considered it her life’s purpose to inspire compassion and happiness. She will be appreciated for her warmth and cherished for her brave honesty.
It’s a tragic tale, and we sincerely hope that Anne’s condition improves—that would be wonderful news!
