LOS ANGELES, CA: Anne Heche’s fiery crash that burned down a home is said to have met a sad ending after her family said in a statement she “is not expected to survive”.
Last Friday, August 5, the ‘6 Days, 7 Nights’ star was driving her blue Mini Cooper in the Mar Vista neighborhood of Los Angeles when she was involved in a horrific accident. Since then, her health was very poor and she was taken to the hospital.
But now her family says she “suffered a serious brain injury from lack of oxygen.” “Unfortunately, as a result of her accident, Anne Heche suffered a severe anoxic brain injury and remains in a coma and critical condition,” the heartbreaking update read. Nobody believes that she will live. She has always wanted to donate her organs and is still being kept alive to see if any are still good.
It continues: “Anne had a big heart, and her kind nature impressed everyone she met.” More than her extraordinary talent, she made it her life’s work to spread kindness and joy, especially by getting people to to accept who they love. She will be remembered as brave and honest, and her light will be sorely missed.
The statement also said, “We would like to thank everyone for their kind thoughts and prayers for Anne’s recovery and thank the staff and nurses at Grossman Burn Center at West Hills Hospital for caring for Anne.”
The latest news has broken the hearts of many of her fans who are now praying for her family and children of whom she is very proud. Ronald Van Gelderen, a musician, tweeted: “My heart goes out to Anne Heche’s children. No one’s mother should die when they’re so young.
Who are Anne Heche’s children?
Homer and Atlas are the names of the two sons of Heche. The Donnie Brasco actress has a son named Homer, whom she shares with her husband, cinematographer Coleman Laffoon. People say that Heche and Laffoon got married in 2001, but their marriage didn’t last long because they split in 2007.
But Homer was born in 2002, so the short-lived marriage had a happy ending. During Heche and Laffoon’s divorce drama, they are also said to have fought over their son. In the end, a judge said the 53-year-old actress had to pay her ex-husband $275,000 and $3,700 a month for Homer’s care. Hollywood Life reported. But the report, citing court documents, said the former couple decided “to split the cost of ‘arranged extracurricular activities’ for their son.”
After the August 5 accident, Heche was rushed to the hospital, and Homer reportedly began “fighting for his mother’s ‘best care’.” “Her family is on needles and needles and just praying,” a source told Entertainment Tonight. “He’s as strong as he can be.” Her family is ready to be around her and to be there when she wakes up. “Everyone is looking forward to that happening.”
After her relationship with Laffoon ended, Heche began dating actor James Tupper. In 2009 Atlas, Tupper’s son, was born. But they, too, split in 2018. Atlas turned 13 in March 2022, and her proud mother posted about it on Instagram. Posting a cute picture of herself with the second child, she wrote: “Atlas is a TEEN? Hatred and war lead to children being taken away from their parents. This makes me cry, and I shared my tears last night. Today I’m happy for my two sons, because they’re milestone birthdays. #13 #20 #loveourchildren #stopthewar.”
Heche spoke of being a single mother of two sons in 2013. She told breezymama.com: “It’s just like they say: girls like to sit and paint, they’re nice and they comb their hair. Boys… my boys and all the other boys I know are busy, busy, busy. I always play with them. I play baseball, football and… I play a lot of things I never thought I would play. They love anything with a ball. Despite this, boys are snuggle friends and lovers. When they are tired they love to sit and cuddle with their mother. So guys are a blessing.”
