A representative of Heche, 53, has announced that she is not expected to survive, and that there are plans for her organs to be donated.
Rosie O’Donnell has shared her reaction to the news that Anne Heche is not expected to survive, one week after her fiery car crash.
Heche, 53, was the driver of a Mini Cooper that crashed into a home in Los Angeles on August 5, causing the small abode to go up in flames. TMZ shared footage showing that Heche’s vehicle had hit an apartment complex’s garage shortly before the crash.
Footage captured on a number of doorbell cameras at the time caught Heche’s car traveling at what appeared to be a high speed moments before the collision, which occurred in the neighborhood of Mar Vista.
Days after the crash, Heche’s spokesperson stated that she had “a significant pulmonary injury requiring mechanical ventilation and burns that require surgical intervention,” adding that she was in a coma and had not regained consciousness.
“It has long been her choice to donate her organs and she’s being kept on life support to determine if any are viable.”
Captioning the post, which showed the statement from Heche’s spokesperson, O’Donnell said that the news was “just so heartbreaking.
