Anne Heche ‘not expected to survive’ after Mar Vista crash
Anne Heche posed for a smiling photo just 21 minutes before she was left fighting for her life after a horror car crash.
The actress, 53, has officially been declared brain dead and is remaining on life support to see if her organs are viable to be donated, her family revealed in a heartbreaking statement on Thursday.
In the hour leading up to the crash – which saw 59 firefighters rush to the scene after her Mini Cooper burst into flames when it struck a two-storey building in Los Angeles – Anne paid a visit to hair salon Glass Hair.
The owner of the store Glass took to Instagram at 10.35am on August 5 to share a snap of the pair after she bought a $125 wig, describing Anne as “lovely”.

He wrote: “So I met @anneheche today and she purchased a #redwig so random.. I love #venicebeach #actress #director #mom #celebrity #lifestyle”.
Just an hour after posting the photo, Glass said he was inundated with messages as it emerged Anne was in a critical condition and being rushed to hospital after the crash at 10.56am.
The Los Angeles Police Department have said there was the presence of drugs in Anne’s system.
Officers are doing additional testing to rule out any substances that were administered in hospital, which could have been prescribed as pain medication after the accident.

The incident is being investigated as a felony driving-under-the-influence (DUI) traffic collision.
Speaking to the New York Post, salon owner Glass said: “I didn’t expect – or suspect – anything at all. She was polite, cordial and engaging and she was coherent. It was extremely pleasant – she was a delight.
“She came through the rear entrance of my studio while I was working on a client and said that she wanted a red wig.
“She asked, ‘Haven’t we worked together before?’ and told me I was beautiful. The whole encounter was less than 10 minutes.”

Days before she got behind the wheel, Anne spoke of the tough time she was going through.
The actress said she felt like some days just “suck” in her now-deleted Better Together podcast, which was released the day of her horror car crash.
In the pre-recorded episode, Anne spoke openly about how she was struggling on the day of filming as she told co-host Heather Duffy she was having a ‘very bad’ time and joked about drinking vodka with wine chasers.

The actress said in the podcast: “We each have a bottle in front of us because our friends sent us a bottle of Refined and I think we even did a bad commercial for them in the beginning of our days.”
To which Heather replied: “Dr. Rahm said that we should be drinking vodka instead of wine”, with Anne chipping in: “and we listened, and we are drinking it.”

Anne’s representative insisted to TMZ the podcast was recorded days before the crash and no alcohol was found in blood samples taken by police.
Opening up on her personal struggles, Anne shared on the podcast: “Today’s been a very unique day.
“I don’t know what happened, sometimes days just suck and I don’t know if you ever have them [but] some days, those no good, very bad days, and some days days just end up like this.”

Anne, who previously dated Ellen DeGeneres, said she was upset after her meditation session in her apartment was interrupted.
“Sometimes days just suck and I don’t know if you ever have them, but you know some days, Mama says just gonna be like this,” she continued.
“Some days there’s those no good, very bad days. And I don’t know why some days just end up like this, and things don’t really rock me like that.”
