The injuries Anne Heche experienced in the vehicle accident on Friday might prevent her from recovering.
In a statement to ET on Thursday, the actress’s rep wrote on behalf of her family, “Unfortunately, due to her accident, Anne suffered a severe anoxic brain injury and remains in a coma, in critical condition.
She is not expected to live, the representative continued.
She had long made the decision to donate her organs, and according to the statement, she is being maintained on life support while tests are done to see if any of them are viable.
“Anne had a big heart and her kind nature made an impression on everyone she encountered. Beyond her great talent, she considered it her life’s purpose to inspire kindness and joy, especially by promoting acceptance of who you love. She will be missed much for her light and will be remembered for her brave honesty.
