They were not able to take blood immediately because of the hypervolemia and hypoperfusion that takes place in the human body following severe burns. As a former prosecutor I can attest that it is highly unlikely that a detailed breakdown of the toxicology is available less than a week following her accident, and likely when official results are available it will be indeterminate whether she had any substances on board while driving - but her reputation has already been destroyed by irresponsible reporting that cites not one single named source for the declarations being made about her status at the time of the crash.

Clearly something was going on, but Anne has struggled with serious mental illness for almost all her adult life - a normal consequence of having been raped by her father in infancy and contracting herpes as an infant as a result and having a heartless monster of a mother who never believed her and never supported her in any way in her coping with that early childhood trauma. Anne never had the choice to be a healthy person, just like millions of abused children who struggle all their lives to grapple with ptsd from childhood. She tried hard and worked hard and sometimes failed, but she is not deserving of the vilification of the holier than thous here and elsewhere on social media who are speaking of her as though she’s garbage. Hope the karma bus runs all of you over, then backs up and runs over you again.

Yes she is. She was reckless with the lives of others. She is deserving of that.

+1 the PP “prosecutor” can GFH. Any sympathy for Anne’s issues ends with her reckless behavior that day.

It is possible to show compassion for both the addict and for the people harmed by the addict's behavior. These things are not mutually exclusive.

I mean, she's almost certainly going to die and have tarnished/ruined her entire life's work. I'd say that's a consequence, and it's pretty easy to have compassion for all involved.

Lack of mental healthcare is why we have homeless. Thanks for serving, sorry about your PTSD. Also sorry you got herpes at 18 months.

Facts like the video of her erratically speeding, crashing, and speeding off again only to crash and put the life of the home owner in danger? Yes, we’re good on facts here.

If she had driven out into the middle of nowhere and hurled herself off a cliff I would have more sympathy for her. Suffering does not give people permission to harm others. Not even her perpetrator -- disregard for the lives of total strangers

You really think Anne Heche made a conscious plan that she would get herself drunk/high/whatever for the specific purpose of getting into her car and crashing into someone’s house? Of course not. She has a disease that compromised her decision making ability. That doesn’t mean she is blameless in all of this, but it is possible to feel compassion for the very obvious demons she was struggling with while also not condoning her behavior here.

Addicts aren't typically make sound decisions about how their behavior impacts others or themselves...they're addicts. They're not in control-the addiction is in control. It's a disease. Haven't you ever watched Intervention? Maybe open your eyes a little to what this disease does to someone.
