Coleman Laffoon: who is he? on Anne Heche’s ex-husband and how he responds to her passing Actress Anne Heche was pronounced deceased on Friday, August 12, a week after her serious car accident in Mar Vista, Los Angeles, on August 5. Heche was sent to the Grossman Burn Center at West Hills Hospital shortly after the accident, where she spent a week in a coma.
Heche, 53, was taken off life support and pronounced dead. His ex-husband, Coleman Laffoon, paid tribute to him on social media after his death.
Coleman Laffoon opened up about his late ex-wife Anne Heche on Instagram just hours after she was pronounced dead. Laffoon promised to be there for the former couple’s young son, Homer, in posting the video.
What did her ex-husband Coleman Laffoon say about Anne Heche after he passed away?
Laffoon had this to say in the unedited Instagram video:
Hi, this is Coley. I just want to express a few things in light of Anne’s passing. One, I miss her and always will as she adored her. Second, Homer is fine. Of course, he is grieving, and it is difficult. He is quite difficult, as anyone would guess, but he has the support of the family, he is strong and he will survive”.
Laffoon fought back tears as he expressed his gratitude to those who asked about them and those who prayed for them. He added:
Although it is difficult for me, my family and especially Homer, we have each other and we support each other a lot, so everything will be fine.
“Anne Heche is free from agony and enjoying or experiencing what is next in her life,” the 48-year-old Cincinnati native said of Anne Heche.
Laffoon went on to mention his involvement in her life, stating:
She arrived quickly and spoke at length. She was brave and bold, she truly loved us and she never hesitated to express what she (she thought) and what she believed. There was always love. Love was the central theme.”
In Ellen DeGeneres’ American Summer Documentary, Laffoon worked as one of the camera operators. Coleman and Heche reportedly met while on tour with DeGeneres for her stand-up comedy.
He founded and owns Coley Laffoon Real Estate as of this time.
