“She is not expected to survive,” revealed family via representative in a statement.
The actress family further informed that it had long been “Anne’s choice to donate her organs and hence her organs were monitored to see if they were viable for donation”.
The family also expressed their gratitude to the well-wishers of the Another World actress as well as appreciated the staff at the hospital.
“We want to thank everyone for their kind wishes and prayers for Anne’s recovery and thank the dedicated staff and wonderful nurses that cared for Anne at the Grossman Burn Center at West Hills Hospital,” the statement read.
The statement also mentioned how “Anne had touched everyone with her generous spirit”.
