In reply to the discussion: Actor Anne Heche Pronounced 'Brain Dead' At 53: Family [UPDATED] [View all]catbyte
(37,324 posts)6. How horrifying. I hope she wasn't conscious for long. I read that she did respond to a
neighbor who was trying to get her out of the car immediately after the accident, but it was impossible to free her. I can't get out of my head the horror she must've felt.
Sorry if this post is TMI, but I just can't imagine. I think it's just despicable she was DUI speeding, but still, yeesh. And it's not because she was "beautiful and famous," it's because she was a human being who was clearly in a lot of pain. I wouldn't feel this way if she were killed outright, but she knew she was being burned alive. That said, I'm reserving most of my sympathy for the poor innocent woman who lost everything, and I hope she is made whole as much as she can be.

I read they are re-testing or doing further testing regarding fentanyl because hospitals use it.
