Anne Heche Passed Away!

Anne Heche has died from her injures.

The 53-year old actress' mental health and drug abuse doomed her. 

Anne Heche has passed away from her injures she suffered from a fiery car crash in Los Angeles. Apparently, Anne was under the influence of alcohol and cocaine when she was driving her Mini Cooper at a high rate of speed in a Los Angeles neighborhood. She crashed into a garage and later took off at nearly 100 mph. She crashed into a home near the final stop.

Anne would end up crashing into a home and the vehicle caught on fire. Witnesses said that she was trying to still drive the vehicle. It ended up landing on its top and soon caught on fire. 

The Los Angeles Fire Department would remove her from the vehicle. Upon taking her to the ambulance, the last image of Anne was her bursting through a burn blanket acting erratically. 

Again, we stress that the video coverage is graphic.

The junk food media at first said she was in stable condition with horrific burns. 

The family and her manager now confirm that it was worse than expected. It appears she had anoxic brain injury. Massive swelling on the brain.  She is now brain dead and not expected to survive. Now the family is preparing to donate her organs and will keep her on life support to determine if any organs are usable.

The LAPD were expected to charge her if she had survived her injuries.

Anne leaves behind two sons.

Heche was then the girlfriend of media mogul Ellen DeGeneres. She was openly bisexual and had mental health issues. She was known for erratic behavior throughout her life.

Anne Heche's final moments before her death.

She was a victim of sexual abuse from her father. Her father has passed away. She had a estranged relationship with Nancy Heche, her Christian extremist mother. She and sister Abigail were the last surviving siblings of five. 

Her brother and two sisters have since passed away.

Heche landed her first notable roles on the soap opera “Another World,” portraying Vicky Hudson and Marley Love into the early 1990s.

Later that decade, films such as “Donnie Brasco,” “Volcano,” and “I Know What You Did Last Summer,” helped propel her fame inside Hollywood and beyond.

Her television credits included “Chicago P.D.,” and “Men in Trees.”

She met talk show host Ellen DeGeneres in 1997, when Vince Vaughn, her co-star in “Return to Paradise,” introduced the two at a Los Angeles-area restaurant.

Heche and DeGeneres became romantically involved in a relationship Heche said was groundbreaking for the time because of the global attention they received as Hollywood stars in a same-sex romance.

“My story is a story that created change in the world, moved the needle for equal rights forward, when I fell in love with Ellen DeGeneres,” she said in a taped segment that year for the show “Dancing With the Stars.”

When their three-year relationship ended in 2000, Heche was hospitalized after she was found wandering in a rural area of Fresno County, California, acting disoriented and confused, authorities said.

Her car crashing into a home led to a fire.

Heche described her struggles with her mental health in her 2001 memoir, “Call Me Crazy.”

“I wanted to beat everybody else to the punch,” she said about the book in an interview that year with Larry King. “I certainly know what’s been written about me in the press. I, although I was never diagnosed as being crazy, I went crazy.”

Heche also wrote about her relationship with DeGeneres. She said it was groundbreaking as a high-profile, same-sex romance, but that it cost her career dearly.

Heche said she couldn’t get hired for a role by a major studio for nearly a decade.

Later, she married Coley Laffoon, and the couple had a son before divorcing. She had another son in 2009 with actor James Tupper, her co-star on “Men in Trees,” before the two separated.

In her family's statement, Heche was described as having a "huge heart" and someone who "touched everyone she met with her generous spirit."

"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," the statement said. "She will be remembered for her courageous honesty and dearly missed for her light."
