Ellen’s ex-lover dies after crash

US actress Anne Heche died last night – eight days after the car crash that left her vehicle engulfed in flames. Her family previously said she was ‘not expected to survive’ after she suffered a severe anoxic brain injury – when the organ is deprived of oxygen.

Under California law she is legally dead because she is ‘brain dead’. However, she remains on life support so that her organs can be donated.

It was reported that the 53-year-old Psycho star, who is pictured above with her ex-girlfriend Ellen DeGeneres, had taken cocaine before she slammed her blue Mini Cooper into a Los Angeles home last week and set off a major fire.

The mother-of-two’s family said she ‘will be remembered for her courageous honesty and dearly missed for her light’.
