Anne Heche’s sudden demise on August 5 earlier this year following an accident was a huge loss for the entertainment industry. However, new details have been surfacing with regard to the circumstances that led to her death.
According to the final autopsy report from the Los Angeles County Medical Examiner-Coroner, Heche was under the influence of cocaine and cannabis, except for drugs. The test results proved the use of benzoylecgonine and cannabinoids, which she used a long time before the accident.
Heche tested positive for fentanyl, which was prescribed to her after being taken to the hospital to reduce the pain. The report mentioned that she died from injuries caused by burns. Additionally, it was disclosed that she faced trouble breathing as she was trapped in the vehicle for around half an hour until she was rescued.
Anne Heche had slammed two more vehicles before finally crashing into a house

When rescuers arrived at the accident spot, it took more than an hour to put out the fire and by then, Heche had already suffered severe injuries.
After being rescued, Heche was immediately taken by paramedics on a stretcher and hospitalized at the Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Center. She was later transferred to Grossman Burn Center at West Hills Hospital. Her representative disclosed a few days later that she was in a coma.
The actor, who had fewer chances of survival, was put on life support and eventually announced brain dead on August 11. She was taken off life support after three days, with the process of organ donation starting the same day.
