Hollywood Actress Anne Heche Is Dead

 

Hollywood’s Famous ‘Six Days Seven Nights’ Actress Anne Heche Dies At 53. 

Heche was one half of Hollywood’s most famous same-sex couple when she dated comedian and TV host Ellen DeGeneres.

‘Six Days, Seven Nights’ actress Anne Heche died on Sunday in Los Angeles after crashing her car into a building.

She went into a coma afterwards. She was 53 years old. 

Her death was announced by a representative, Holly Baird, who said late Sunday in an email that Heche had been “peacefully taken off life support.”

Ms Heche had been kept on life support to preserve her organs so they could be donated.

A compatible person was found to receive her donated organs.

Heche had sustained burns and a severe anoxic brain injury on August 5 when she crashed her car into a two-story home in the Mar Vista neighbourhood of Los Angeles, causing a fire that took firefighters more than an hour to extinguish. Heche was alone in the car.

Following Heche’s death, the Los Angeles Police Department said it would be closing the investigation into the crash. 

In a statement to ET, the police said, “When a person suspected of a crime expires, we do not present for filing consideration.”

“As of today, there will be no further investigative efforts made in this case. Any information or records that have been requested prior to this turn of events will still be collected as they arrive as a matter of formalities and included in the overall case,” ET reported.

Heche was one half of Hollywood’s most famous same-sex couple when she dated comedian and TV host Ellen DeGeneres. 

“This is a sad day. I’m sending Anne’s children, family and friends all of my love,” Ms DeGeneres said on Twitter. 

After their relationship ended, Ms Heche married and later divorced Coleman Laffoon, with whom she had a son, Homer. She also had a son, Atlas Heche Tupper, from her relationship with the actor James Tupper.
