Anne Heche Not Expected To Survive! Cocaine & Fentanyl Found In Her System!
|
Actress Anne Heche is reportedly brain dead and not expected to survive after crashing her car in several homes in California last Friday, and preliminary reports show she had cocaine and fentanyl in her system.
Heche, 53, has been hospitalized since the accident, where authorities say she was speeding around 90 mph in her blue Mini Cooper when she crashed into one home and then another, leaving the second structure in flames.
The crash caused her to suffer an anoxic brain injury, a representative told Deadline.
She’s remained in a coma in “extreme critical condition,” her rep added.
“At this time Anne is in extreme critical condition. She has a significant pulmonary injury requiring mechanical ventilation and burns that require surgical intervention,” the rep said in a statement shared with Deadline.
“She is in a coma and has not regained consciousness since shortly after the accident.” Her condition has “not improved since she was admitted to the hospital,” according to her representative.
The Daily Mail reports that she is expected to be taken off of life support in the coming days.
Authorities Found Cocaine, Fentanyl In Heche’s System At Time Of Fiery Crash
Initial reports suggested that she had alcohol in her system at the time of the crash, however LAPD sources have since revealed she tested positive for cocaine and fentanyl. However, the fentanyl may have been found after being administered as a pain medication after her arrival at the hospital, per reports.
Cops say an investigation into the crash is ongoing, with felony DUI charges reportedly looming if and when Heche’s condition improves.
Hours before the fiery crash, Heche could be heard slurring her words on an episode of her “Better Together” podcast, which has since been taken down, but clips of the segment, obtained by TMZ, have since circulated
