Anne Heche receives Honour Walk as life support machine is switched off

The Another World star was taken off life support on 14 August after a fatal car crash nine days earlier. ET Canada reports that Heche’s car was driving at high speed in West Los Angeles when it crashed into a residence. A representative for the actress reported that Heche had suffered a severe anoxic brain injury, as well as pulmonary injuries and burns. Heche was in a coma and receiving treatment for her injuries until 12 August, when she was declared ‘brain dead’, or legally dead under California law.
