Anne Heche Was Trapped In Burning Car For 45 Minutes Before Being Rescued

Anne Heche, who had a ghastly car accident last month August 5, died seven days later August 12, at the age of 53. Anne suffered severe burns on her skin, and according to reports from several witnesses, Anne first crashed into a garage of an apartment’s complex, made a reverse, and drove away before crashing again into an apartment in Mar Vista rented by Lynne Mishele. The building and the car caught fire, which led to Anne receiving severe burns on her skin. A coroner’s report says that Anne died from smoke inhalation and terminal injuries.

Barely a month into Anne’s demise, Los Angeles Fire Department revealed that the actress was in the burning car for a good 45 minutes before she was rescued.

Now here’s where the story gets a little bit twisted, Richard Fields LAFD Deputy Chief told NBC4 that it was difficult for them to have access to the car at first and that was as a result of excess smoke everywhere, they went on to say that when they found out that someone was in the car, the person wasn’t at the driver’s seat to indicate that she was the driver, rather the person was at the floorboard of the passenger’s seat.

“Given the heavy fire and smoke conditions, it wasn’t that you could clearly see into the vehicle or clearly be able to access it, I will say that where the person was in the vehicle was not in the driver’s seat, but on the floorboard of the passenger seat.”

Remember that eyewitnesses said that Anne first crashed into a garage of an apartment’s complex, made a reverse, and drove away before crashing again into the Mar Vista apartment, the question is, how was Anne able to get over to the passenger’s side amid the whole smoke? Was it that after she realized that she was trapped in the car, she managed to move over to the passenger’s side, laid on the floorboard to take cover? This is by all means a rhetorical question.
