'No evidence of impairment': Anne Heche's autopsy reveals actress was not high at the time of fatal car crash
LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Recent findings from Anne Heche's final autopsy show that there was "no evidence of impairment" by illegal drugs at the time of her catastrophic and terrible car crash on August 5.
The Los Angeles County medical examiner's report, obtained by Page Six, states that the 'Six Days, Seven Nights' star tested positive for a number of drugs after a blood and urine test. She tested positive for benzoylecgonine, cocaine, fentanyl, and cannabis, yet the report claims that she wasn't intoxicated when the accident happened. The medical examiner reportedly said that benzoylecgonine is an inactive metabolite of the drug, and the same was expressed about the cannabinoids (marijuana) that were discovered in her system, according to Page Six. Regarding the fentanyl that was found, the report notes that it was given to Heche after she had already been taken to the hospital to help with her discomfort. The medical examiner determined that Heche's death was accidental, brought on by thermal and inhalation injuries, along with a fractured sternum brought on by physical force trauma.
