US actress Anne Heche ‘is not expected to survive’ after crash, family says

US actress Anne Heche is not expected to survive, her family has said, after a car crash earlier this week that left her vehicle engulfed in flames, the BBC reported.
She remains in a coma and had "a severe anoxic brain injury" - when the brain is deprived of oxygen - they said.
"We want to thank everyone for their kind wishes and prayers for Anne's recovery and thank the dedicated staff and wonderful nurses," they added.
Her car crashed into a two-storey home in Los Angeles last week.
Police said on Friday (August 12) that preliminary blood tests had revealed the presence of drugs in her system, but extra testing was needed to rule out any substances given in hospital.
The Los Angeles Police Department told the PA news agency the incident was being investigated as a felony driving-under-the-influence traffic collision.
