Anne Heche’s death is ruled an ACCIDENT by coroner

Anne Heche’s death has been officially ruled an accident after she died from her burns after plowing into a house at 90mph.

Los Angeles County Medical Examiner-Coroner on Wednesday ruled the actress passed away from inhalation of smoke and thermal injuries.

The office also said the 53-year-old suffered a ‘sternal fracture due to blunt trauma’ in the horror smash on August 5.

Sternal fractures are most commonly found in patients who chest struck the steering wheel in car accidents. 

Heche’s life support machine was turned off on Sunday after she suffered horrific burns in the collision in her Mini Cooper.

She was declared legally dead on August 12 after being in a coma for a week before being taken off life support two days later. 

A spokesman for the Los Angeles Police said the department was continuing to investigate whether drug use contributed to the accident.

Blood tests showed that the actress had cocaine and fentanyl in her system when the high-speed crash occurred on August 5.

A new 911 call also revealed that neighbors were not initially aware that Heche was trapped in the car inside the property.

A man can be heard begging emergency services to be ‘real quick’ once they realized that someone was trapped and went to get a hose to try to help.

They said: ‘There is smoke, I didn’t see flame somebody just said get water. There is a fire, the house. I don’t see flames but there is a lot of smoke. Big fire.’
