In the accident that took Anne Heche’s life last August 5 in west Los Angeles, her car hit a sidewalk before crashing into a house. Following the impact, both the car and the house caught fire.
The 53-year-old actress had been transported to the hospital in desperate conditions. Declared brain dead, she was artificially kept alive for about a week until her organs were donated. The medical examiner’s office has indicated August 11 as the date of her death.
Meanwhile, the death skyrocketed the price of the autobiography that Anne Heche had published in 2001, “Call Me Crazy”. Listed at the time for $ 26, the book has now cost between $ 739 and $ 949 on Amazon. In her volume, the actress had recounted her trauma related to childhood abuse, her mental difficulties and problems while she was in the spotlight, and her relationship with Ellen DeGeneres.
