‘At this time, she is in extreme critical condition,’ says Michael McConnell, part of the talent management company representing her.
Anne Heche remained hospitalized in critical condition, comatose, and connected to a breathing machine on August 8th after suffering severe injuries in a fiery Los Angeles car crash.
Kim Heche, 53, has been hospitalized since her car crashed and burst into a fiery inferno in a Westside neighborhood of LA on Friday morning.
There were no human casualties, but the home’s impact set fire to the house, requiring a response by dozens of firefighters.
On Monday, a Los Angeles Police Department spokesperson said the cause and circumstances of the accident are still under investigation.
Michael McConnell, a representative for the talent management company, told The Hollywood Reporter that Heche is in a coma and has not woken up since the accident.
At this time, she is in critical condition, reported Reuters in a text message. Heche needs ventilation and surgery because of his burns.
A Los Angeles Times article quotes Richard Glass, the owner of a salon in Venice Beach where Charlie attended on Friday morning and purchased a red wig, as saying she was “a sweet little girl.”
