Heche was pronounced brain dead on Aug. 11 at the Grossman Burn Center at West Hills Hospital and Medical Center. Her body was kept on life support for several days so her organs could be harvested for donation.
death was accidental, noting she died of"inhalation and thermal injuries'' resulting from the fire that erupted after the crash occurred.
The bizarre series of events that led to her death began earlier on that morning. TMZ obtained video showing Heche involved in a minor collision at a Mar Vista-area apartment complex, crashing into a wall in a parking area, then driving away as people nearby tried to help. The crash into the home occurred a short time later.
The vehicle"struck and came to rest well within a 738-square-foot two-story home, built in 1952, causing structural compromise and erupting in heavy fire prior to LAFD arrival,'' said Brian Humphrey of the Los Angeles Fire Department.
