A week after a serious car accident, Hollywood actress Anna Hesch has been declared legally dead, her representative Holly Byrd announced on Friday.
53-year-old Heša has been in a coma since August 5 after suffering a severe brain injury in a car accident.
With all brain function stopped, the actress is legally dead under California law, but her heart is still on life support while her organs are being evaluated, Byrd told AFP.
Hesh is best known for his roles in 1990s films such as Donnie Brasco and Six Days, Seven Nights.
The car driven by Hash crashed into a two-story house in one of the neighborhoods of Los Angeles last week.
As a result of the car accident, a fire broke out, which took 59 firefighters more than an hour to put out.
Local media reported on Thursday that drugs were found in Hesha’s blood, although it is still necessary to make sure that these are not the consequences of the medical assistance provided to her.
Gossip page TMZ, referring to an anonymous source in the police, writes that cocaine and fentanyl, which are sometimes used as painkillers, were found in the blood of the actress.
