A week ago, actress Anne Heche was hospitalized after being involved in numerous car accidents and suffered terrible burns. The actress, known for her appearances in films such as “Volcano” and “I Know What You Did Last Summer,” among other projects, fell into a coma, and her family released a statement late at night saying that she “did not expect to survive.” And so it happened, since Heche died at the age of 53.
Nancy Davis, a friend of Ann Heche, first reported this on her Instagram page, and a representative of the actress’ family and friends confirmed her death. It’s worth noting that although Heche’s heart is still beating, her brain is described as “dead,” and according to California law, this is considered legally dead. She remains on life support to find suitable recipients for her organs. Heche is survived by two sons. According to the statement of the aforementioned representative:
Today we have lost a bright light, a kind and most joyful soul, a loving mother and a faithful friend. Ann will be greatly missed, but she lives thanks to her beautiful sons, her iconic work and her passionate advocacy. Her bravery for always standing in her truth, spreading her message of love and acceptance, will continue to have a lasting impact. M
