A spokesperson for American actor Anne Heche said she was taken off life support on Sunday, nine days after suffering severe injuries in a fiery car crash, and that she passed away because a compatible person was found to receive her donated organs.

Heche had been legally dėad since Friday, despite having a heartbeat, and was kept on life support to preserve her organs for donation, according to the representative.

On August 5, Heche’s Mini Cooper spun out of control, crashed into a house, and burst into flames.

Heche, who appeared in films such as “Donnie Brasco,” “Wag The Dog,” and “I Know What You Did Last Summer,” struggled for decades with the effects of a troubled childhood and was a member of a groundbreaking same-sėx couple in the 1990s.

Heche won a Daytime Emmy Award in 1991 for her role as identical twin sisters in the NBC soap opera “Another World.” She also appeared with Harrison Ford in the 1998 adventure comedy “Six Days, Seven Nights” and alongside Demi Moore and Cher in the HBO TV movie “If These Walls Could Talk.” “I didn’t do a studio picture for 10 years. I was fired from a $10 million picture deal and did not see the light of day in a studio picture.”

She married cameraman Coleman Laffoon in 2001. Heche began a long-term relationship with actor James Tupper after the couple divorced, which ended in 2018.

Anne Celeste Heche was born on May 25, 1969, in Aurora, Ohio, as the youngest of five children. She was 13 years old when her father diėd and it was revealed that he had secret gày relationships.

“He was in complete denial until the day he diėd,”

In 2001, Heche told CNN’s Larry King. In 1998, she stated that his dėath taught her that telling the truth is the most important thing in life.

Her brother, Nathan, diėd in a car accidėnt three months after their father.

Heche claimed her father rapėd her as a child, causing her mental health issues that lasted decades, including frequent fantasies that she was from another planet.

“I’m not crazy,” Heche told ABC News in 2001, shortly after the publication of her memoir “Call Me Crazy: A Memoir.”

“But this is a crazy life.” I grew up in a crazy family, and it took me 31 years to grow out of it. “
