On August 5th, 53 year-old actress Anne Heche was pulled from the wreckage after her car crashed into a home in Los Angeles, California.

According to a statement from family and friends, Heche experienced a “severe anoxic brain injury,” depriving her brain of oxygen, among other critical injuries following the crash.

Over a week later, the actress was taken off of life support. Her rep said, “Anne Heche has been peacefully taken off life support.”

“Anne will be deeply missed but she lives on through her beautiful sons, her iconic body of work, and her passionate advocacy,” the statement continued. “Her bravery for always standing in her truth, spreading her message of love and acceptance, will continue to have a lasting impact.”
