HOLLYWOOD - American Pie star Natasha Lyonne is reportedly fighting for her life in a NewYork City hospital, after being found with hepatitis C, a heart infection and a
collapsed lung.
The New York Post reports that the missing actress has been found struggling
to survive in the Beth Israel Hospital's intensive care unit.
The publication says that as well as the range of health problems she's
battling, Lyonne was also found with track marks, and is undergoing methadone
treatment, typically used to help heroin users. Her father Aaron Braunstein,
who visited the 26-year-old actress a week ago, tells Access Hollywood,
"I read the article. I'm crying, actually. It's terrible. That's my
little girl. It's a terrible tragedy. But she's gonna get better. We're all
praying for her and she's a tough girl.
"As we see in the paper, she's probably with the wrong crowd, but the main
thing she picked up is [hepatitis C] in Bulgaria [while shooting her 2001 movie
The Grey Zone]."
And Braunstein is certain The New York Post will face legal action for
exposing details of Lyonne's condition, explaining, "There's a confidentiality
between patient, doctor and hospital, so all of this is gonna be probably a
major lawsuit."
