Report shows cocaine, no alcohol in Heche’s system

DENVER GAZETTE WIRE SERVICES

Anne Heche was under the influence of cocaine when she slammed her car into a Los Angeles home, according to a report.

Authorities drew blood from the 53-year-old actress after the life-threatening crash on Aug. 5 in the Mar Vista neighborhood on L.A.’s west side.

There was no alcohol in Heche’s system, but there was cocaine, TMZ reported Thursday, citing police sources.

The tests were also positive for fentanyl, according to TMZ. Cops are unsure if the opioid played a role in the crash because it is also used as a painkiller in hospitals.

Heche remains in critical condition after being severely burned in the crash.

“We were just looking inside, going, ‘How could you survive that?’ Because we had a hard time breathing even outside of the house,” witness Lynn Bernstein told People magazine after the crash.
