What Was Found in Anne Heche’s Autopsy Report?

A spokesperson said that Heche’s blood tests at the hospital showed the presence of benzoylecgonine, a substance that is formed when cocaine breaks down but is not active.
This means that there was no proof that Heche was impaired by drugs at the time of the crash. While cannabinoids were found in her urine, they were not detected in the admission blood and are consistent with prior use, but not at the time of the injury.
Heche had such bad burns that her body couldn’t absorb air properly, which caused her brain injury from lack of oxygen.
A representative said that more toxicology results showed that Heche had been given drugs like fentanyl while she was in the hospital getting treatment, but not when she was hurt.
The study said that Heche’s death was an accident and that she died from heat and breathing injuries. The study also said that a broken sternum from a blow significantly contributed to her death. The latest episode of ‘All Rise’ was dedicated to Anne Heche for giving her tribute.
