According to Heche’s rep, the actress was kept on life support to “determine if her organs are viable.” “She has long chosen to donate her organs.”
“We want to thank everyone for their kind wishes and prayers for Anne’s recovery and thank the dedicated staff and wonderful nurses that cared for Anne at the Grossman Burn Center at West Hills hospital,” the statement continued.
