LOS ANGELES — The Los Angeles Police Department will no longer pursue an investigation into Anne Heche’s recent car accident, injuries from which led to the actor’s death on Friday.
In a statement, the LAPD confirmed to The Times on Monday that there will be no further investigation into Heche’s case. The dismissal comes after the actor was declared legally dead Friday and after police confirmed that she was under the influence of narcotics when she crashed her car into a Mar Vista home, which caused it to catch fire.
“Any information or records that have been requested prior to this turn of events will still be collected as they arrive as a matter of formalities and included in the overall case,” Officer Norma Eisenman said in the statement. “When a person suspected of a crime expires, we do not present for filing consideration.”
