LOS ANGELES — Anne Heche’s “heart is still beating” despite new reports saying that the actor died Friday after a fiery car crash in Mar Vista last week left her in a coma.
“She was declared brain dead last night but has been kept on life support for organ donation,” her representative, Holly Baird, said Friday in an email to the Los Angeles Times.
Heche, 53, is being kept on life support at the Grossman Burn Center at West Hills Hospital while medical staffers determine whether any of her organs are viable for donation, as had long been her wish, her family and friends said in a statement issued Thursday night.
