Per her final requests, Hollywood star Annewas kept on a ventilator to determine whether any of her remaining organs were viable to be donated.

A statement read: “We want to thank everyone for their kind wishes and prayer for Anne’s recovery and thank the dedicated staff and wonderful nurses that cared for Anne at the Grossman Burn Centre at West Hills hospital.

“More than her extraordinary talent, she saw spreading kindness and joy as her life’s work – especially moving the needle for acceptance of who you love.
“She will be remembered for her courageous honesty and dearly missed for her light.”
According to reports, blood tests revealed she actually had cocaine inside of her when the crash took place.
Another substance that also thought to have been detected was fentanyl, but the levels were lower than the cocaine.

The TV star reportedly lost control of her car as it veered into a home at top speed and ignited a fire that badly burned her and left her in an “extremely critical condition”.
Anne was filmed as she was being saved from the catastrophic scene by firefighters who wrapped her up in a white towel in an attempt to prevent infections from her severe burns.
LAPD treated the terrible crash as a potential felony due to the terrible injuries inflicted on the home owner, Lynne Mishele, while the extent of her injuries remains unclear.
