Her friend, Nancy Davis, said, on social networking sites, quoting the Guardian newspaper, that the American actress Anne Heche, who had an accident that led to the burning of her car, died. Heche, known from the series “Ally McBeal” and the movie “Donnie Brasco,” among others, was in a coma for a week.
Ann Heck was in a car accident on the morning of August 5. And the representative of the artist informed, on Sunday, two days after the accident, that her condition is stable. Heche was in the intensive care unit, where she was severely burned.
On Thursday, August 11, family and friends issued a statement saying that there is no hope for the 53-year-old actress to survive. “Unfortunately, due to the accident, Ann Heck has suffered severe brain damage from lack of oxygen and is in a critical coma. There is no hope that she will survive,” they said, adding whether any of them could be donated. “

The statement read: “She saw spreading kindness and joy as her life’s work more than sharing her extraordinary talent. She will be remembered for her courageous honesty. Her light will be lacking.”
And foreign media had reported, on Friday evening, the death of the artist. This information on social networking sites was published by her friend Nancy Davis, quoting the British newspaper “The Guardian”.
How did the accident happen?
The Los Angeles Fire Department (LAFD) reported that on August 5 in the morning, Ann Heshe drove her car into a two-story building in the Mar Vista area. The car caught fire and it took 65 minutes to put out the fire and enter the “heavily damaged structure”. 59 firefighters participated in the operation. The actress was taken to hospital in critical condition.
Los Angeles police said Thursday that blood samples taken shortly after the accident showed the presence of drugs in the woman’s blood.
Ann Heck’s profession
53-year-old Heche gained popularity in the series “Another World”. Her role in this production earned her an Emmy Award. Her career peaked in the 1990s, when she starred in films such as “Six Days, Seven Nights” opposite Harrison Ford, “Facts and Names” and “Psychol”. She also starred in Agnieszka Holland’s The Third Miracle. In subsequent years, she appeared mainly on the small screen.
Heche felt that she was starting to receive fewer offers after coming out. She was Ellen DeGeneres’ partner for three years. She was then engaged to, among others, real estate agent Colman Lavon and actor James Tupper. She has two sons.
