Brittany Murphy Dies at 32.
Another celebrity death has come in 2009. It’s literally a terrible year for Hollywood stars as another passes. While Brittany Murphy wasn’t a huge star, she was in movies such as “clueless,” “8 Mile,” and various other b rated movies. She was found collapsed in her shower by her mother and pronounced dead upon arrival at the hospital.
A news report via TMZ.com was released yesterday as the news became official of her passing:
According to TMZ, Brittany told her family members that she was feeling very sick. It is also reported that she was hooked on prescription drugs like Vicodin which is a narcotic analgesic product used to relieve moderate to severe pain. Brittany’s friends said that series of plastic surgery operations made her dependent on painkillers. This was consider as one of the causes of her sudden death.
According to one of her neighbors, Brittany seems dead while she was on a stretcher. Firefighters brought her to the fire truck and tried to resuscitate her. Her husband wandered around and didn’t know what to do as the firefighters put tubes down his wife’s throat. Brittany was transferred to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center and was pronounced dead on arrival at 10:04 a.m. by Sally Stewart, hospital spokeswoman.
LAPD spokeswoman Norma Eisenman said that they were investigating the cause of her death. Assistant Chief Coroner Ed Winter said that there’s no foul play and it appears that she died of natural causes. Monjack refused to allow an autopsy for unknown reason but the L.A. County Coroner’s office will still conduct an autopsy.
It’s certainly another tragedy among young stars, as another one passes away way to soon.
