American actor Anne Heche was taken off life support on Sunday (local time), nine days after suffering severe injuries in a fiery car crash.
A compatible person had been found to receive her donated organs, a spokesperson said.
Heche, 53, had been legally dead since Friday, though still with a heartbeat, and was kept on life support to preserve her organs so they could be donated, her representatives said.
"Anne Heche has been peacefully taken off life support," said a statement released Sunday night by spokesperson Holly Baird.
Heche had remained hospitalised, comatose and connected to a breathing machine, days after suffering severe injuries in a fiery Los Angeles car crash, a spokesperson for the performer said last week.
The compact car she was driving sped out of control in a Westside neighborhood of Los Angeles over a week ago, plowed into a house and burst into flames, according to police.
No one inside the home was hurt, but the impact set the dwelling ablaze, requiring a response by dozens of firefighters.
