LOS ANGELES, Aug 14 (Reuters) - American actor Anne Heche was taken off life support on Sunday, nine days after suffering severe injuries in a fiery car crash, as a compatible person was found to receive her donated organs, a spokesperson said.

"Anne Heche has been peacefully taken off life support,".

The pair were together for more than three years before Heche ended the relationship.

"I didn't do a studio picture for 10 years.

After the couple divorced, Heche began a long-term relationship with actor James Tupper which ended in 2018.

"I'm not crazy," Heche told ABC News in 2001 on the release of her book "Call Me Crazy: A Memoir.".

Heche's mother, Nancy, denied her daughter's claim that she knew about the sexual abuse, calling it "lies and blasphemies" and her sister Abigail has said she believes the "memories regarding our father are untrue." She said that Anne Heche had cast doubt herself on her own memories of that time.
