LOS ANGELES — The Los Angeles County medical examiner-coroner‘s office ruled Anne Heche’s death an accident, days after the “Another World” actor’s death and nearly two weeks after her fiery and fatal car crash in Mar Vista.
Heche died from smoke “inhalation and thermal injuries,” the coroner’s office said. She also suffered a “sternal fracture due to blunt trauma” as a result of her car crash.
Heche was hospitalized Aug. 5 with severe burns after crashing her car into a home in the Mar Vista neighborhood of Los Angeles. The accident caused the home to catch fire.
