  2. Actress Anne Heche And Republican Jackie Walorski Deaths Linked To CIA “QNX” Murder Device

    Follow the yellow brick road

  3. Don’t let the government lie to you she was releasing a movie about human trafficking and they killed her

  4. Did Ellen push the button?

  5. LAPD… The biggest gang in history, just as corrupt as the KGB and this is who you take "facts" from? Make it make sense plz!

  6. she veered into lesbianism…. it’s not a big deal, she was probably just sick of men. she didn’t need to be “married” or announce it to the world. just go be yourself and quit letting the government get entangled in ur life

  7. Thank god. One less drug addict on the roads. How about people like

    Coleen Goodell start a go fund me page for the womens house that was destroyed by this "person".

  8. Breaking news : Joe Biden and Nancy pelosi also declared brain dead

  9. Nobody cares to comment on the woman's condition who is still living because she's a nobody? Be equal in the way you treat people and commentate. The other lady is a human who was in her safe place and someone destroyed that, comment on how she is doing for God sakes.

  10. She was brain dead before the accident.

  11. What's so sad about this that it seemed like to me she was trying to take her own life going that fast and she didn't care she took anybody with her shame on her

  12. 🔥sources have stated that anne heche may have faked her own death in order to get out of a positive blood draw for cocaine after crashing into a house 🔥

  13. really sad, prayers for her family.

  14. she's dead because she drove drunk while coke'd up and destroyed somebody's home….
    GOOD RIDDANCE.

  15. As a proud Atheist Antinatalist Animal Rights Vegan (AAARV) American, we need to spread more atheism, antinatalism, critical thinking, science, logical thinking, mathematical modeling, computation of the consequences of actions around. Public schools do a great job, but they cannot handle the onslaught of stupidity force down their throats by conservatives, worthless centrists, republicunts, democraps, capitalism, anarchy, government, corporations,
    religion, churches. Entertainers and all rich famous people are particularly stupid and mentally inferior to real humans. Real human beings take math deadly seriously: computing the consequences of actions is what mathematics is. Vote Green Party. Arm Greens with guns!

  16. Don't drink + breed. Stupid breeder.

  17. I would Heche to be her right now.

  18. But at least her heart, her liver, her kidneys, and maybe her pancreas will go on forever… in somebody else.
    I call dibs on her cocaine-fueled liver!

  19. I already 🤔 New Ann wouldn't make it I kept saying Olivia Newton John needs a companion and would request Ann to accompany her meaning Olivia in the afterlife a request Ann couldn't refuse 💥 request

  20. But to be fair, she was brain dead before the wreck.

  21. A life exemplified by leftism is not light, but darkness and hatred of decency.

    Apparently how she died exemplified the way she lived.

    I reserve my sympathy for the victims of today's leftist hate filled cancel culture.

  22. "A loving mother and loyal friend"? She wasn't full of love. She was full of fentanyl and cocaine.

  23. So let me understand, she had drugs in her system? And she hurt the woman inside the house? I'm just not so sympathetic to this kind of behavior!

  24. Why waste money on prosecuting the case. The woman is a freaking vegetable, and given time, she'll eventually die. Good riddance to bad rubbish. You play stupid games….you win stupid prizes.

  25. This drug-addicted alcoholic lesbian had anything but stellar character. The world is better off without her in it.

  26. My heart and prayers go out to the woman who was nearly killed, severely traumatized, and lost her home due to the selfish actions of an entitled drug addict.

  27. I feel very bad for her family.

  28. she has been brain dead for years lol 53 years old and drinks and drives but yeah lets feel sorry for her lol

  29. At this point, what difference does any of it make. Are they going to prosecute a corpse?

  30. People remember the famous person who was under the influence and driving. But no one talks about the person she injured inside the house. Too bad she is dead but she made the choice to drive like that. Gee she is rich couldn't she get an Uber or private chofer?

  31. so sad prayers for her family and family

  32. Did you not see how fast she was going and how much damage she did. She could have killed someone but yet because she's a star ,we mourn her instead of talking about her mistakes.

  33. She won the final award…. The Darwin award.

    So bold, so brave

  34. I grew up watching her in TV shows and films, she was really wonderful in her roles.

  35. She was brain dead the moment she decided to drink and drive with narcotics

  36. The woman in the house needs to go after her estate.

  37. If Anne Was In Something, It Was Interesting. This Is A Sad Day. My Heart Goes Out To Her Family. I Hope The Person She Hit Recovers As Well.
