Once in the hospital, she Anne went into a coma and in the studies that were carried out, the presence of drugs in her blood was found. On August 11, she was declared brain dead and doctors only waited a few hours to see if any of her organs could be donated.
After knowing that at the time of the accident he was not in his five senses, it is fair to know that perhaps the hard episodes he experienced when he was very young were the reason why he was not feeling well emotionally.

It was in this way that her family learned of the double life that Donald, who was a Baptist minister, led.
Some time ago, during an interview, the famous one declared that while her father coordinated the religious choir, he went to gay bars at night and that he died at 45 years of age, due to the disease.
We were poor, but we said we were rich. We had a father who lived a double life, but we pretended that we were absolutely fine. We lived on the streets, but we denied it. Everything we did was a lie. My mom tried to keep her composure, but at night she would break down. I spent my days at school, my afternoons working at Haagen-Dazs and other places, and my nights cuddling with my mother.
In 2001, Anne revealed that her father had sexually abused her and infected her with genital herpes. In addition, the star Chicago P.D. He confessed that even though his mother always knew, the woman preferred to remain silent.
I think my father was a sex addict. I think he saw everyone as a sexual being. But I think at the time he was living a very extravagant lifestyle.
Three months after their father died, Anne’s brother Nathan, then 18, was killed in a car accident after his car hit a tree after falling asleep at the wheel. Much like the way she passed away. In 2006, her sister Susan died of a brain tumor, and her sister Cinthya died at two months of age due to a heart defect.
In 2004, Anne confessed that to play the role of an abusive, alcoholic mother in Gracie’s Choice, accepted the idea that her mother did not love her. In fact, her mother always denied the abuse that the actress suffered as a child.
Anne Heche’s love life also had its ups and downs. The actress was a partner of actor and comedian Steve Martin, of whom she even pointed out that her relationship with him led her to question: why couldn’t her father be like him?

However, after three years of relationship with the presenter, the couple separated. Years later, Anne married cameraman Coleman Laffoon, with whom she had her first child, but they divorced her when she was unfaithful to actor James Tupper, with whom she had her second child. she.
Anne Heche struggled all her life against psychological problems until, finally, with the intention of “weighing up” her traumas, access to drugs and alcohol were the ones that ended her life.
