Anne Heche’s crash is still under investigation
The seriousness of the matter only made us think of the worst scenario of all. A representative of the actress had already declared that she would hardly be able to stay alive:
“We want to thank everyone for their kind wishes and prayers for Anne’s recovery and to thank the dedicated staff and wonderful nurses who cared for Anne at West Hills Hospital’s Grossman Burn Center. Unfortunately, due to her accident, Anne Heche “She suffered a severe anoxic brain injury and remains in a coma, in critical condition. She is not expected to survive. She has long since decided to donate her organs and is being kept on ventilators to determine if any are viable.”
While investigations into the crash are ongoing, a report from TMZ anticipated that Los Angeles police found cocaine and fentanyl following a blood test performed after the accident. However, the second substance could be due to some kind of medical treatment that Anne Heche received in hospital. It is not yet clear if she was intoxicated with fentanyl at the time of the mishap.
