Anne Heche 's ex-husband James Tupper has filed to become the legal guardian of their 13-year-old son Atlas amid continued tension over the late actress' estate.
Heche died aged 53 after she crashed her Mini Cooper into a two-storey home in Los Angeles on August 12. It is thought her vehicle was travelling 90mph before it smashed into the building – exploding into a fireball, leaving the home uninhabitable.
She was left on life support for a week Grossman Burn Centre at West Hills Hospital before it was switched off after she was declared brain dead. The Los Angeles County Medical Examiner-Coroner has since confirmed that Anne died due to inhalation of smoke and thermal injuries in the August 5 smash.
