There’s just been something about the way the updates have been worded. Such a horrific crash. I’m hoping she can survive but it’s not looking good. Does anyone else think the same? With celebrities it’s always worse than initial reports.

I read a report yesterday that suggested the same thing. It sounds really bad for her. ETA: after writing this, I went to the BBC website to check the morning news, as I always do. This report - Anne Heche - was on the main page of the news site, so it seems to be confirmed that she is unlikely to survive. |

I just read she is not expected to survive and they are looking to donate her organs.

Sad situation. With the severities of her injuries and burns, she probably wouldn’t have wanted to live. Which may be what the wreck was about.

I heard the same on CNN - not expected to survive. Very sad.

Official statement is that she is on a vent while they decide which of her organs will be donated. However can she, with cocaine in her system?

Think outside the box for traditional organ donation (kidney, liver, heart) because eyes, tissue, tendons, ligaments, etc can be used. If I go ahead with my ACL, MCL, PCL etc surgeries, they will use donated ligaments. |

As I see it, it would be a blessing not to survive. Burns that severe would be a lifetime of severe pain.

I am no expert, so correct me if I am off base, but I think when they are on life support, things are filtered pretty well. I don't know what it can take out. But when my sister was kept on life support for several days so her child could come say goodbye, the organ transfer team said this was a good thing, as far as organ transplant. She had an aneurism. |

I'm sorry for her family and even sorrier for the woman that lost her not only where she lived ( rental home) but her business equipment as sentimental personal items.
She made the decision to drive under the influence of drugs and now many people are suffering due to her choice.

I feel badly that Anne had such a horrible end as well. All around tragic. |

We had a family friend in a coma for four months. Four wheeler accident. Doctors said he was brain dead and wanted to take him off life support. His family said no. They waited. He was 22. His family sang to him and read to him and talked to him constantly. Never left his side. One day he squeezed his moms hand when she sang his favorite song. She started asking him questions and he responded. Another month and he started to breathe on his own. They took him home and he continued to improve. His brain damage was severe but he learned to eat, walk, dress himself, and could speak in simple sentences. He understood more than he could express. His long term memory was amazing but short term wasn’t good. He lived with his family until he went into a group home at age 55. He passed away at 57 from an illness he couldn’t recover from.

I have just read on the newsfeed that the family are taking her of life support.
I take it from that that the end is near.

That is an amazing story! That's one of my fears is that I'll be in a coma and everyone will think that I'm brain dead and take me off life support, but I would be able to hear and understand everything going on but unable to stop them. |

While that’s a nice “miracle” story, I find it horribly selfish of the family to do that to this guy. I would never want my family to put me thru that. |

If there’s anything there, the victim will sue and there’s no reason she won’t win. Estate has to settle the lawsuit before anything can go to anyone else. |

Anne Hech’s death date is listed as yesterday, Friday 8/12/22.
An awful situation all around. I feel bad for her family and the other lives that were affected by this horrible crash. if only she got the help she so desperately needed.
Rest In Peace, Anne.

I would much rather be taken off life support than have to lean to eat and walk and only use simple sentences and then go off to live in a group home. Nor would I want anyone to have to care for me like that. To each his own but for me, quality of life is the most important aspect of this. I wouldn't presume to make this judgment for my patients, as a nurse, but I would not want this for myself or my loved ones. I have actually had this discussion with my son and I know he feels the same way so I wouldn't feel guilty about taking him off life support if it seemed that recovery would be a long difficult road and no full recovery expected. |

Our experience with suing the person whose drunk driving killed my parents is that state laws vary a lot in terms of what you can be awarded. Since Heche’s two children are minors, I’m not sure I’d agree with taking their inheritance because their mom made bad choices, but that’s for California law to decide.
If she has umbrella liability insurance, that can pay out, but we also learned about ERISA laws that mean your medical insurance has first dibs on any settlement. What we were awarded from the drunk driver’s insurance was largely eaten up by my dad’s medical expenses, being in ICU on a vent. Again, I believe that varies by state law. It’s also possible that the woman’s homeowners insurance will have to be made whole before she can receive any settlement money directly.
We found that the law overall prioritizes insurance companies over both victims and survivors. And none of it actually makes you feel better or makes you feel that justice has been served.

The lady who lost all of her possessions has a lot of compassion and grace:
She has two dogs and a turtle and luckily they were not harmed.
There's been a go fund me started for her (Lynne Mishele) and it's raised $150,000 so far.

I can understand why it would be a horrendous decision for a family member to make -- taking your son, especially so young -- off life support, but I can't imagine a more hellish existence. It's truly a sad situation, but Heche would have been in a lifetime of pain if she had survived it. It's a blessing that she is not in pain. |
