The US actor Anne Heche has died in hospital a week after she was critically injured in a car crash in Los Angeles.
The news was confirmed by her family, after previously announcing that she would be taken off of life support.
Heche was 53 and had two sons.
Many had hoped Heche would make a recovery after a publicist for the actor reported her in a “stable” condition after crashing her car into a house in Los Angeles on August 5th. Firefighters said she had been speaking to them as she was cut free of the wreckage and taken to hospital.
