Days after Anne Heche was declared brain dead, the actress was removed from life support on Sunday evening. Her death stems from a horrific car crash that occurred on Aug. 5 that left Heche severely burned with a significant brain injury. She fell into a coma shortly after the accident and never regained consciousness despite the best efforts of medical professionals. Heche was just 53 years old.

Because she was brain dead, Heche was declared legally dead under California law, though life support machines had kept her heart beating while the organ procurement organization, OneLegacy, could find potential matches for organ donations. While it’s still unclear at this time how many matches were found, Heche’s rep, Holly Baird, has confirmed that the late actress is no longer on life support.

“Anne Heche has been peacefully taken off life support,” a statement from Baird reads, per The Hollywood Reporter.

This follows previous statements from Heche’s family acknowledging the loss. Her 20-year-old son Homer had told THR on Friday, “After six days of almost unbelievable emotional swings, I am left with a deep, wordless sadness. Hopefully my mom is free from pain and beginning to explore what I like to imagine as her eternal freedom.”

“We have lost a bright light, a kind and most joyful soul, a loving mother, and a loyal friend,” a statement by the Heche family also read. “Anne will be deeply missed but she lives on through her beautiful sons, her iconic body of work, and her passionate advocacy. Her bravery for always standing in her truth, spreading her message of love and acceptance, will continue to have a lasting impact.”

Anne Heche will be seen posthumously in the sex trafficking film Girl in Room 13 when it premieres on Lifetime in September. After the accident, network execs spoke about what to do with the film but made the decision to have it released as that was something that was so important to Heche, as she felt passionate about the subject matter.

“This project is important to Heche and along with each and every one of us,” Lifetime’s Amy Winter said of the situation. “We all started to make a film that would bring attention to the appalling issue of human sex trafficking. We hope that this film moves you and that you are just as inspired as Anne was to help us with our mission to stop violence against women.”

Director Elisabeth Rohm added, “We’re all so dedicated to the cause, stopping violence against women and I again thank Lifetime’s so much for creating this platform. All of us, especially Larissa who played this victim, are committed to that cause. We talked about it — every single one of us — that this was our mission. And although [Anne] is deeply missed, right now, I will say the film is finished and she did a phenomenal performance.”

Heche is also part of the upcoming disaster action movie Supercell alongside Alec Baldwin and Skeet Ulrich. She can also be seen in the upcoming HBO series The Idol which will feature her in her final acting role.

Rest easy, Anne Heche.
