Anne Heche ‘Not Expected to Survive,’ Family Says of Actress Who Crashed Car into LA Home with Narcotics in Her System

Anne Heche is on life support following a fiery car crash on Aug. 5. Heche’s family said the Hollywood actress is “not expected to survive” the brain injury she suffered after crashing her car into a California home.

“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 representative for Heche’s family told Deadline. “It has long been her choice to donate her organs and she is being kept on life support to determine if any are viable.”

“Anne had a huge heart and touched everyone she met with her generous spirit,” the statement read. “More than her extraordinary talent, she saw spreading kindness and joy as her life’s work — especially moving the needle for acceptance of who you love. She will be remembered for her courageous honesty and dearly missed for her light.”
