Actress Anne Heche died today at age 53 years after being disconnected from life support one week after being in a serious automobile accident that left her in a coma.
Her family made this difficult decision following a brain-death diagnosis.
It was said that Heche decided how to dispose of her organs since she was a donor.
Her closest relatives thanked her fans who had sent the actress messages of support during the past few days and especially praised the work done by "the staff and the wonderful nurses" who cared for her at the hospital.
Anne Heche was seen in early August driving recklessly on the streets of Los Angeles. Minutes earlier, she had hit another vehicle and, later, a garage she fled from while a neighbor yelled at her.
concur
Expect few of her organs and tissues are suitable for donation following the fire, smoke and 7 days coma.
Agreed. We all make mistakes, some bad ones. Many of us have had the opportunity to live, learn from them, and try not to repeat them.
And some of us never had that opportunity.
I think it means the family didn’t keep her on life support for an extended period of time.
My mother in law was on life support for around a week, the Dr in charge of her case finally had a come to Jesus meeting with my wife. In very tactful and gentle terms the Dr made us understand that my wife’s mother just wasn’t going to get any better.
We let he go the next day....something that we probably should have done days earlier.
She lived a tortured life made so by her father and brother’s abuse. May God take her to His knee and give her the love she never got from a bad family.
Or maybe her dad, or her mom or her husbands or Steve Martin or even herself ...
It's her kids who are coming out the worst from this.
Drugs are horrible things.
The wages of sin. She took her fill of it.
That statement indicates you know nothing about this woman’s life.
I don’t remember much about her as an actress, her politics I’m sure were scary, and she seemed like a confused but okay person. In any case, that was a horrible way to go.
Prayers for her.
Her brother committed suicide by driving into a tree. I think this was along those lines.
RIP Anne.
Tora! Tora! Tora!
So this garage-door thing was another addiction she couldn’t kick?
For many of these troubled minds, there is no help. At least not "professional help."
If they get comfort anywhere, It will be from God.
She would have probably had more peace in her life had she simply stayed in Alaska.
It was a sage Ted Nugent who once said, “Drugs and Alcohol lead to Prison and Death”.
...followed shortly afterwards with the proverb “wang dang, sweet poontang”.
Maybe not Jesus ... but maybe Satan and Crack.
More likely, intentional suicide since it was her 3rd car crash that day..
Thank God I left Hollywood way back when and returned to Ohio.
This is dreadful to hear, Sir.
And I would like to express my deepest sympathy to you and your family. :-(
DUI is such a blight and a scourge; I wish with all my heart that people would stop doing it...
