Heche, 53, died Aug. 14 after she was removed from life support nine days after she crashed her Mini Cooper into Lynne Mishele’s home in Mar Vista, sparking a fire.“Thankfully, [Mishele] and her pets, which she regards as family, avoided death that day,” the lawsuit says."As a direct consequence of Heche’s outrageous conduct and unlawful acts, [Mishele] and her beloved pets almost lost their lives, not to mention that [Mishele] also had an entire life’s worth of her personal possessions destroyed in the fire," including mementos from her deceased parents, who both passed away in 2020, the lawsuit says.A Los Angeles police spokesman had said police were investigating the crash as a felony DUI collision.However, after Heche — who made her mark in Hollywood with roles in "Donnie Brasco," "Volcano" and "I Know What You Did Last Summer" — was declared brain-dead, police said there would be no more investigative efforts."
