Re: Brittany Murphy Dies

News sites are speculating about eating disorder/cocaine.

Perez Hilton is talkin drugs and says God will punish her husband..? http://twitter.com/PerezHilton

All I know is she seemed a sweet charismatic girl and shes gone way too soon.

I refuse to even listen to what Perez Hilton has to say after the tweet he made about MJ when he passed. I wont give that man the time of day.
 
Re: Brittany Murphy Dies

yeah why the hell wouldn't he want an autopsy is beyond me.....unless he already knows why.....maybe he is guilty and doesn't want it to be found out...but the coroner is doing one anyway...so he didnt get final say.
 
Re: Brittany Murphy Dies

This is so sad. I was just listening to her sing on Happy Feet yesterday. When I heard that she die of cardiac arrest in LA my first thought was of Michael. I'm pryaing for her family since this happened so close to Christmas.

function resetForm(formId){ var form = document.getElementById(formId); if(form) { form.reset(); }}The tragic news of Brittany Murphy's death was first reported Sunday morning and throughout the day details have emerged pointing to the possible cause of suicide. Cedar Sinai medical center reported that Murphy died of cardiac arrest but at the age of 32 that is an extremely uncommon natural cause of death. Murphy had reportedly become involved in drug use over the past year and only two weeks ago she was fired from her most recent film project while her husband, British director Simon Monjack, was hospitalized. The timing of these developments signal that Murphy could have taken her own life, perhaps by accident. Another reported explanation is the actress's recent diagnosis of diabetes. When autopsy results are released this week the exact cause of death will be reported.
 
Re: Brittany Murphy Dies

Re: Brittany Murphy Dies

I believe the cocaine thing are only rumors. She has adamantly denied even ever being around coccaine (although most addicts do). NO matter what happened it is just sad, she was so young. I remember the first movie I ever realy noticed her in was Girl Interrupted one of my favorite films.

As for the husband not wanting an autopsy I was reading they are Jewish and it is against their beliefs. I dont know how accurate that is though.

Her husband is Jewish and under the Jewish faith an autopsy if considered desecration of the body, which is against their beliefs.

Oh god this takes me back to the scene where her character was found dead in the bathroom of suicide. And Brittany was found in the bathroom now. This was my all time favourite Brittany movie and in my opinion she outshined Angelina Jolie. She was an amazing actress.
 
Re: Brittany Murphy Dies

This is very sad news. My prayers go out to the family and friends. R.I.P. Brittany.:angel:

Re: Brittany Murphy Dies

Fair out! what is up with the bad luck in 2009 ??!!!

Re: Brittany Murphy Dies

This is so sad. Out of all the younger actresses who were popular over the last 10 years or so, I really liked Brittany Murphy. And Clueless is one of my all time favorites. I put on Just Married tonight... they're sleeping "inside a snowball" right now on my TV.

:no:

It's just so shocking. And as someone pointed out... when the reports first came in it said "Los Angeles", "TMZ", "cardiac arrest".... God, flashbacks. :cry:

Some reports are now saying her mom said she had a history of diabetes. I don't like to be speculating on cause, but this caught my eye because I'm insulin-dependent myself and I always feel a special connection to celebrities who are (like Nick Jonas, Mary Tyler Moore, Brett Michaels, etc). Makes me wonder if that contributed. :(

Well, my condolences to family, friends and fans. And may you find peace and love in the Light, Brittany. Bless you, and all the best ... :angel:

An official with the Los Angeles coroner's office says actress Brittany Murphy, 32, may have died of natural causes.
The actress, who got her start in the sleeper hit "Clueless" and rose to stardom in "8 Mile," died Sunday in Los Angeles.
Assistant Chief Coroner Ed Winter says the cause of Murphy's death "appears to be natural."

He says Murphy apparently collapsed in the bathroom Sunday morning, and authorities are looking into her medical history.

Winter says Murphy's family is cooperating with the coroner's investigation. He says an autopsy is planned for Monday or Tuesday.

The Los Angeles Times reported that Murphy died of cardiac arrest.
The Los Angeles Fire Department responded to a call at 8 a.m. Sunday at the home Murphy shared with her husband, British screenwriter Simon Monjack, in West Hollywood hills. Murphy was transported to the hospital, where she was pronounced dead.
Neighbor Clare Staples said she saw firefighters working to resuscitate the actress Sunday morning. She said Murphy was on a stretcher and "looked as though she was dead at the scene."
Murphy's husband, wearing pajama bottoms and no shoes, appeared "dazed" as firefighters tried to save her, Staples said.
"It's just tragic," she said.
TMZ.com first reported Murphy's death Sunday morning.
Murphy's father, Angelo Bertolotti, said he learned of her death from his son, the actress's brother, and was stunned.
"She was just an absolute doll since she was born," Bertolotti said from his Florida home. "Her personality was always outward. Everybody loved her — people that made movies with her, people on a cruise — they all loved her. She was just a regular gal."
He said he hadn't heard much about the circumstances of Murphy's death. Bertolotti divorced her mother when Murphy was young and hadn't seen Murphy in the past few years.
"She was just talented," he said. "And I loved her very much."
Bertolotti served prison time on federal drug charges.
‘8 Mile’ role sparked her success
Born Nov. 10, 1977, in Atlanta, Murphy grew up in New Jersey and later moved with her mother to Los Angeles to pursue acting.
Her career started in the early 1990s with small roles in television series, commercials and movies. She is best known for parts in "Girl, Interrupted," "Clueless" and "8 Mile."
Her role as rapper Eminem's girlfriend in the film "8 Mile" led to more recognition, Murphy told The Associated Press in 2003. "That changed a lot," she said. "That was the difference between people knowing my first and last name as opposed to not."

Her on-screen roles declined in recent years, but Murphy's voice gave life to numerous animated characters, including Luanne Platter on more than 200 episodes of Fox's "King of the Hill" and Gloria the penguin in the 2006 feature "Happy Feet."
She is due to appear in Sylvester Stallone's upcoming film, "The Expendables," set for release next year.
Murphy credited her mother, Sharon, with being a key to her success.


"When I asked my mom to move to California, she sold everything and moved out here for me," Murphy said. "I was really grateful to have grown up in an environment that was conducive to creating and didn't stifle any of that. She always believed in me."
She dated Ashton Kutcher, who costarred with Murphy in 2003's romantic comedy "Just Married."
Kutcher sent a message on Twitter Sunday morning about Murphy's death: "2day the world lost a little piece of sunshine," Kutcher wrote. "My deepest condolences go out 2 Brittany's family, her husband, & her amazing mother Sharon."
