Unraveling the Complex Legacy of Anne Heche

The aftermath of Anne Heche's death has been complicated, from the speculation surrounding the car crash that killed her to the battle over her estate. Heche, who struggled with mental illness throughout her life, died in a car crash in August 2022. The crash was ruled an accident, and toxicology findings revealed that she was not impaired by drugs or alcohol at the time. She left behind two sons, Homer and Atlas, and a fight ensued over her estate, with Homer ultimately being named the administrator. The woman whose house Heche crashed into filed a lawsuit against her estate, and actor Thomas Jane also filed a claim, alleging that Heche owed him money. Heche was laid to rest at Hollywood Forever Cemetery nine months after her death. Her sons are coping with their loss and finding ways to honor their mother's memory.
