Actress Anne Heche had cocaine in her system during her fatal car crash at a Los Angeles home, according to her final autopsy and toxicology report.
Along with traces of cocaine, the toxicology report states that fentanyl was detected in the Emmy Award-winning actress’s body due to pain treatment she received after the horror accident. TMZ reports.
Heche crashed into the Los Angeles home at 90 mph, starting a fire that trapped her in her car for 45 minutes as dozens of firefighters worked to free her.
The report also notes that there was no alcohol in Heche’s system despite the fact that a photo of her moments before the accident showed a bottle of what appeared to be vodka inside her blue Mini Cooper.

According to the timestamp on the Los Angeles Fire Department recordings, the first of 59 firefighters arrived at the burning house at 11:01 a.m. on August 5, with reports that Heche was trapped inside the car.
After owner Lynne Mishele was pulled from the fire, officials incorrectly believed no one else was inside the home, where the vehicle could not be seen.
After finding the car, emergency services had to wait for a heavy-duty tow truck to brave the fire and remove the vehicle, and Heche was rescued around 11:49 a.m.
She was severely burned and slipped into a coma after being transported to Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Center.
Heche suffered a ‘severe anoxic brain injury’ caused by a lack of oxygen, according to a statement issued on behalf of her family and friends.
She was declared brain dead seven days later, but was kept on life support until her organs could be donated.
Heche’s life support machine shut down on August 14, and she was incinerated on August 18.
A coroner ruled on August 17 that Heche died of inhalation and burn injuries, and the death was ruled an accident.

Mishele, who was at her Mar Vista home with her pets when Heche crashed into it, filed a $2 million lawsuit against the late actress’s estate.
Mishele recently spoke about the accident that led to Heche’s death, saying she had delayed the lawsuit after she was diagnosed with cancer in September.
In the lawsuit, Mishele claimed she was within yards of being hit by Heche’s car along with her dogs and pet turtle.
The aftermath of Heche’s fatal accident has been highly publicized, as confusion over her estate ensued shortly after her passing.
He died without a formal will and with two children by different fathers to contest the claims to his inheritance.
Last week, a court gave control of Heche’s estate to her son, Homer Heche Laffoon, despite the objections of the actress’s former partner, actor James Tupper, who claimed that her $200,000 worth of jewelry “disappeared”.
Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Lee Bogdanoff appointed Laffoon, 20, as permanent administrator of the estate, denying a motion by Tupper, father of Heche’s 13-year-old son Atlas, to name a independent administrator.
The judge also dismissed the objection of Canadian-born Tupper, 57, who asserted that Laffoon is “unfit” to administer the estate because he is too young, unemployed and separated from his mother at the time of her death.
