BREAKING NEWS - Actress Brittany Murphy Pronounced Dead This Morning

brittanymurphydead.jpgBrittany Murphy, 32, was pronounced dead upon arrival today at Cedars-Sinai medical center after her husband called 911 this morning around 8 a.m. from the couple's Los Angeles home.

Initial reports cite cardiac arrest as the cause of death -- the same cause as was attributed to Michael Jackson's death earlier this year.

Murphy stared in films like Clueless, 8 Mile, Sin City and Spun, in which she played a heroin addict. Reports followed that the actress herself may have had problems with illegal drugs, to which she responded in a 2005 interview with Jane magazine. Rumors said her weight loss was due to cocaine use .... she said this:

    "Wow. No, just for the record I have never tried it in my entire life, I've never even seen it, and I don't leave the house too much, except to go to work. My worst vice is caffeine. [The rumor is] really pretty darn far-fetched -- it couldn't be further from the truth. I have known people over the course of my life that have bad problems with drugs, and it's something really serious.

    I am also way too high-strung. I can't even take a Sudafed. Can you imagine? My God. I think my heart would explode. I mean, literally something terrible. That's awful."

Murphy's husband, Simon Monjack, was rushed to the hospital less than a month ago after falling ill on a flight to LA from Puerto Rico. Monjack was incoherent when EMTs boarded the plane after Murphy had feared he was having an asthma attack but airline medical personal felt is was something more serious.

That was the flight Murphy and her husband hopped after the actress left the set of The Caller, filming on the island. Murphy's reps cited "creative differences," but reports said she was fired.



Brittany dated Ashton Kutcher in 2002 and was engaged to Hollywood talent agent Jeff Kawatinetz.

so sad :[

i wondered if it was drugs...until i saw a picture on one of the stories. i hadn't seen her recently...it looks like it could very well have been an eating disorder. so tragic :[

RIP Brittany, you will be missed!!!



Posted by: Kathy Hosier

She had an eating disorder....anorexia I believe. That will cause people at any age to go into cardiac arrest.

This is too sad.

So sad, i can't believe this!! So young....... REST IN PEACE BRITTANY!!

To whomever said it was drugs could be wrong. It could also be from being anorexic. She was at an almost unhealthy weight and your body can get very stressed if it is under weight which can cause a cardiac arrest. So until we all know the reason why it happened, dont jump to conclusions and assume its drugs.

My fav. movie with her was Uptown Girls :) Too sad. RIP

11:40 I know practically nothing about Brittany Murphy which is actually a good thing. During her tragically short life, she managed to separate her personal and profession life. A difficult feat in an industry fraught with privacy violations. As I said earlier, it’s always tragic when a young person dies. Any young person.



Posted by: Anonymous

drugs kill. she's been strung out (along with her lecherous husband) for years.

huge pupils, burned lips. CRACK KILLS.



Posted by: Anonymous

I won't jump to conclusions about this; as far as we know, she WAS suffering from anorexia. Just as Kathy Hosier said, anorexia could send any person into cardiac arrest.
But whatever the reason, RIP.
Our condolences go out to her family.

Awful and tragic... probably a combo of anorexia and drugs. Anorexia can cause electrolyte imbalances (not to mention your body feeding on, among other things, you heart for sustenance, causing it to shrink in size and beat slower) that can lead to sudden cardiac arrest, aka your heart just stopping. Eating disorders have the HIGHEST death rate of ALL mental health conditions. Hope her story can be a cautionary tale, at least then something good will come out of this...

the intense pressure on women to be thin and always look perfect needs to stop .. it leads to pre-mature deaths and needless misery .. not to mention unnecessary/dangerous/expensive/disfiguring plastic surgeries

this poor woman looked her best and her talent was its best before all the alleged starving, drugs, plastic surgeries

That is so shocking. I had no idea up until a few minutes ago. So sad. May Brittney rest in peace!



Posted by: Anonymous

Oh my God, I am in shock.. Don't know what to say..

although; don't jump to the conclusion that she died of drugs before there's any evidence. Yes, she's young but she could have had a heart disease all of her life without knowing, many people actually dies every year from problems with their hearts they never knew they had.

May you rest in peace Brittany.

is it a virus or is it spyware? what's the name of the infection?



Posted by: Anonymous

Love how people speculate drugs right away. Sometime people do have heart conditions which can go undiagnosed for years. Happened to a friend of mine. Had a heart attack at 28 and wasnt a drug user or anorexic, so just hold off on your judgement.

ANTI-VIRUS DETECTS A TROJAN AS SOON AS I GO TO X17, BEWARE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



Posted by: Anonymous

I'm totally blown away. So sad...she was awesome. And why do people automatically assume it was drugs? Heart disease may have run in her family or something. We don't know. Bottom line, it was simply her time to go. However sad it may be.



Posted by: Anonymous

In college I heard of people who used a shower to freebase cocaine (aka smoke crack). I find it interesting that she was found in the shower. She was clearly underweight recently, and had exhibited erratic behavior. My initial speculation is crack/eating disorder. Regardless, this is very sad. She was a very talented actress, and dying at 32 is always tragic.

I just find it weird that her husband had some shady health problem about a month ago. And now he doesnt want an autopsy? Hmm. The truth will come out in the next couple weeks.

RIP Brittany. You were an amazing actress and a beautiful women. Uptown Girls is one of my favorite movies!

Poor thing, she always looked unnaturally THIN and I heard she had anorexia. Another Karen Carpenter. No healthy young woman simply drops dead in the shower. She was probably STARVING. I hardly think her family is going to be reading our stupid, unfounded comments on X17 so we can pretty much write what we want.

celebs who want too much privacy almost always have stuff they are trying to hide"
Everybody has stuff they are trying to hide. People value a certain level of privacy, even celebrities. Celebrities don't get that privacy. It must drive some of them to drugs and/or eating disorders to be constantly scrutinized by the public. And even after her death we're still digging away. But she was a wonderful actress with a very unique quality about her from the start, and she will be missed by many. The fact that we don't know for certain the real reason she died probably means that somebody who cared for her is trying to preserve an ounce of privacy for her. Who knows? We don't. Anyway it was tragic.







This part is optional!
