The first photos after the death of Ex Anne Heche – Hollywood Life
Ellen DeGeneres photographed having lunch with his wife, Portia de Rossi, in Montecitio, California on August 24. The women are seen exiting the restaurant, with Portia placing a protective arm around Ellen’s shoulder amid the paparazzi’s flickering lights. This is the first time Ellen has appeared in public since the death of her ex-girlfriend, Anne Hecheon August 11.
Anne was involved in a fiery car crash when the car she was driving crashed into a house on August 5. She was conscious and was seen talking to paramedics after the accident, but eventually passed out. A few days later, it was confirmed that she was in a coma and in “critical condition”. On August 11, Anne was declared brain dead, i.e. legal death in California. However, she was kept alive on life support so she could donate her organs. The recipient was found on August 14, and she is officially on life support.
Officials reveal that Anne has drugs in her system at the time of the accident. However, it is yet to be confirmed whether Anne took the medication before the accident or was given to Anne while she was hospitalized. A more conclusive drug test is being performed to obtain more information. Once the testing is complete, officials will be able to publicly confirm what substances were found in Anne’s system.
Anne and Ellen dated from 1997 to 2000. Although they were no longer in contact at the time of Anne’s death, Ellen said that she was devastated for her old loved ones during this difficult time. “This is a sad day,” she tweeted. “I send Anne’s children, family and friends all my love.” Before Anne could cope with her wound, Ellen also told photographer, “I don’t want anyone to get hurt.”
