After her automobile struck a home in Los Angeles last month, Anne Heche was locked inside for 45 minutes before first responders could free her and start treating the actor.
According to NBC, which cited fire department records and radio transmissions, firemen took at least another 20 minutes to reach the car and another 20 minutes to get it out of the structure to free the woman from the wreckage.
The coroner’s findings, which were made public a few days after Heche, 53, was taken off life support in the hospital, indicated that she died from burns and inhalation injuries in addition to having a broken sternum from the collision. Her death was ruled an accident.
On August 5th, Anne Heche suffered injuries when her automobile jumped a curb and crashed into a home in west Los Angeles. The house and the car caught fire. Anne Heche was the only one hurt.
The stage and screen performer passed away without leaving a will, and her 20-year-old son has filed paperwork with the court to manage her inheritance.
Heche’s son with her ex-husband Coleman Laffoon, Homer Laffoon, submitted a petition to the Los Angeles superior court on Wednesday asking to be given the authority to manage his mother’s inheritance.
Homer Laffoon and 13-year-old Atlas Tupper, Heche’s child with her ex-partner James Tupper, are listed as her only heirs in the petition.
