The final toxicology report from actor Anne Heche found no alcohol in her system at the time of the fatal crash but did detect trace amounts of cocaine, per documents obtained by TMZ. The publication reported that investigators collected her blood as evidence at the scene of the accident. When analyzing the sample, the coroner found “benzoylecgonine, an inactive metabolite of cocaine.”
The coroner ensured this finding does not mean that Heche was under the influence of cocaine, and there was “no evidence of impairment by illicit substances” when the crash happened, per USA Today. According to the American Addiction Centers, a person’s gender, body weight, health, and many other factors can affect how long a drug remains in your system.
Heche had visited a hair salon just minutes before her crash and purchased a wig from the store’s owner, Richard Glass. In an exclusive interview with Entertainment Tonight, Glass recounted how nothing seemed off with the actor. “She wasn’t speaking in cursive, I say that when people are impaired,” he explained. “They speak in cursive like slurring your words. But she wasn’t, she was very, very cordial. Very personable and very polite.”
