Her rep was lying on day one, saying she would recover. I worked some bad burns as a paramedic and some of those patients died. The problem is they inhale the smoke and flame and get burns in the lungs, as happened to Ann Heche. It is horribly, horribly painful for those who live, with surgery going on for months or years.
Terrible way to die.

All the dope and booze she was on, I would imagine her organs are pickled. Her liver has got to be shot.
