On August 5th there was a serious car accident in Los Angeles. The actress Anne Heche crashed her car into a house and the vehicle caught fire. Since then she has been in mortal danger, there are reports that her death is assumed. Ellen DeGeneres, the actress’ ex-girlfriend, commented on the accident for the first time.
“I don’t want anyone to get hurt at all,” the former talk show host generalized to a journalist for celebrity magazine ET. But she was no longer in contact with Heche. That’s why DeGeneres wouldn’t know anything more about the actress’ condition. The two were in a relationship from 1997 to 2000.
Severe injury
Anne Heche’s condition remains critical. A spokesman told People magazine that the 59-year-old suffered a “severe anoxic brain injury.” She has been in a coma since August 11. Almost 60 firefighters were needed to bring the fire that resulted from the accident under control.
A doctor who works with burn victims shared more information about the actress’ injuries with ET. “She couldn’t breathe on her own and she also had third degree burns so surgery is needed.” He fight for her life.
