Anne Heche was taken off life support one week after she got into an accident in one of the neighborhoods in Los Angeles. The actress was just 53 when she passed away.
Now, In Touch Weekly is claiming that Heche might have been trying to take her own life so she purposely slammed her car into a house.
Prior to the second accident, Heche already hit the garage of an apartment complex just a few blocks away. But she managed to leave the scene unscathed and even ran away from the people who were trying to rescue her.
But when her Mini Cooper hit the house of an unnamed victim, a fire erupted which made it difficult for Heche to be extracted from her vehicle. She was later sent to the hospital and was placed on life support.
“Everyone thought Anne’s life was back on track – she was working, had projects lined up, and seemed content. So, this nightmare of a day is shocking. Some think it was a suicide attempt or that she was drunk or high, while others believe it was a cry for help,” the source said.
The source also claimed that Heche’s brother died after he crashed his car into a tree. And the actress previously claimed that she thinks it might have been suicide.
So, there are allegations that what happened to Heche and her brother are eerily similar, which could only mean that she indeed tried to take her own life.
Throughout the past couple of years, Heche’s struggles just worsened. And some of her family and friends knew what was going on in her life. But they thought that things were getting better months before she died.
Little did they know that she owed the bank thousands of dollars before her passing.
“Her struggles are legendary in Hollywood. She had it all, including a promising film career, and it all came crashing down,” the source said.
Following her death, several of her friends from the industry paid tribute to Heche. Her ex-girlfriend, Ellen DeGeneres was mum about her passing but the comedian previously said that she doesn’t want anybody to get hurt.
Heche’s death also resulted in DeGeneres’ past interview making headlines again. Years ago, she accused Heche of using her and dating her because she had an agenda.
