LOS ANGELES — Actor Anne Heche is not expected to survive after a fiery car crash in Mar Vista last week left her in a coma, according to a statement on behalf of her family and friends Thursday night.
She 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, the statement said.
The crash left Heche, 53, with “a severe anoxic brain injury,” and she remained in critical condition in the coma, according to the statement.
