I just saw it on Yahoo.  A cardiac arrest at her young age.  Wonder what the autopsy will show.  Britney was one of my favorite actresses.  I thought she was great in Clueless and Girl Interrupted.  R.I.P. Britney. http://www.kolobok.us/smiles/artists/mini/connie_mini_boycry.gif

I heard about it off of Myspace, that's she passed away, and didn't believe it, up until I saw it on Google.

She was really funny, in the film, Clueless, and seemed to have a big career ahead of her, which makes it all the more sadder.

Rest in peace, Brittany, will be sadly missed by all.

I thought this was a joke but obviously not. She is from my homestate of New Jersey too originally. "Brittany Murphy" said once California is New Jersey with palm trees I saw once in a magazine article I read a few years ago.

I have heard her mom caught her unconscious in the bathroom. I think its very tragic for a 33 year old woman to die of cardiac arrest. I saw on the news this morning a shot of her looking about 10 pounds underweight of late because of the pressures of Hollywood I guess. She was famous I would guess from 1995-2002 and than just flamed out. She had a very nice smile in my opinion. It seemed she didn't let Hollywood change her in my opinion but she struggled with the baggage that comes with being famous from what I heard on the news this morning. Condolonces go out to her husband and mom. It must be a very sad time for her husband and mom because of Christmas coming up too along with the new year. Irs hard to believe people are here one day and than die the next. I mean look at what happened to Cinncinati Bengals Wide Reciever Chris Henry dieing last week. The Chris Henry death was unbelieveable now this.

TMZ reports that the LAPD found the following prescription drugs on her nightstand:


Klonopin (anti anxiety)
Ativan (anti-anxiety)
Hydrocodone "Vicodin" (pain)
Carbamazepine (for bipolar disorder or diabetes, she was a diabetic)
Fluoxedine (anti depressant)
Vicoprofen (basically hydrocodone with ibuprofen)


There were also 3 or 4 other meds as antinflammatory, blood pressure, and antibiotic.

One would think that with this long list of such drugs, she'd be under the close monitoring of a doctor.  My guess is that these meds were prescribed by various doctors who did not know what the other guys were prescribing.

They also found empty 'script bottles that were issued in names other than that of Brittany, her hubby, or her Mum.

My guess is that the toxicology reports will find the COD is interactions of all these drugs.  :-\\

10 pounds???

Good lord she was way WAY more than just 10 pounds underweight, she was painfully, shockingly thin. There are stories she was bulimic which would be no surprise given her size and that of course can lead to heart failure.

Of course there is also the morphine derivatives and the anti-anxiety meds she was taking.  Those will kill an appetite dead.

That's what I thought, that her weight loss may have lead to her having a cardiac arrest. There's also talk that she had flu like symptoms days before. The combination of being skinny and being sick,plus the medicine she was on was too much.

Actually the LA Coroner's Office has not yet ruled on a cause of death.  The autopsy did not show any signs of fowl play, but they are waiting for toxicology and other tests to come in before they issue a final opinion as to COD.

So for now the COD is officially "Deferred".  :-\\

Perhaps, but if it turns out that the prescription meds are what did her in, the DOCTORS share blame here.  They're supposed to know better.
