Heche’s ex James Tupper has also broken his silence to pay tribute to the actress, sharing an image of her hugging their son.
He posted a message about the mother of his 13-year-old son Atlas on Instagram alongside the photo, as it emerged the star’s heart is being kept beating to asses her organs for donation after she was declared legally dead.
Heche’s representative Holly Baird said on Friday in an email to the Los Angeles Times: “She was declared brain dead last night but has been kept on life support for organ donation.”

In a statement Heche’s son, Homer Laffoon, 20, wrote: “My brother Atlas and I lost our Mom. After six days of almost unbelievable emotional swings, I am left with a deep, wordless sadness. Hopefully my mom is free from pain and beginning to explore what I like to imagine as her eternal freedom.”
