Quirky actress Brittany Murphy (Clueless, 8 Mile, Just Married) was last seen in South Florida in early April. She and husband Simon Monjack, a little known writer-director, caught several tennis matches at the Sony Ericsson on Key Biscayne. Murphy, 32, also the voice of Luanne on the Fox cartoon King of the Hill, was discovered passed out in her shower by her mother Sunday morning in West Hollywood. She was pronounced dead minutes later. Although a Los Angeles coroner says the death appears to have been from natural causes, Murphy battled rumors of drug abuse for years. She was fired last month from the lead role of the movie The Caller. And earlier this year, rumors that Murphy abused prescription drugs were fueled by reports of erratic behavior on the set of Something Wicked, due out next year. Her character reportedly was re-written to fit Murphy’s strange demeanor, which included falling in and out of consciousness. Murphy, who denied suffering from an eating disorder, was famous for her portrayal of mentally unstable characters in movies like Girl, Interrupted and Don’t Say a Word.
Drugs? I thought she had an eating disorder?
is that pauly shore sitting behind her?
It was reported that she was having problems with drugs recently.
Problems? What problems?
As skinny as she was maybe she starved to death. Narcolepsy or heroin nod, who knows. Tragic.
Looks like its at night. Why the hell they got the sunglasses on. Hell yeah its pauly shore. Damn I hate to hear she died, although I hated her for cheatin on marshall mathers with the black kid
She was young, pretty and talented. It is a terrible shame. It is too bad billons of dollars are wasted every year. Why can’t we put some of that for addiction and mental health treatment?
I think she kept on vomiting on the thought of continuing to have to have sex with her fat husband. She became hydrated and went into full cardiac arrest.
At least this is a short break from Tiger’s woes. What’s he up to now… a dozen?
These negative responses are expected from most people who think they are superior but unrecognized.
Not a word of sympathy to the family for the untimely loss of a beloved family member.
Sorry for your loss.
Well said Will. RIP girl.
And Francesco. At least you don’t have to worry about a cardiac arrest. You need a heart first bro. That was just cold and ignorant.
I understand that she was diabetic, plus I have seen photos of her skinny as a rail. Questionable eating disorder? Her husband was treated recently for shortness of breath after a plane flight.(questionable) but possibly opate injestion, and sharing drugs. All of this does not look good. So sad to see someone that young pass away. my condolences to the family. I really hope that I am WRONG with my assumptions.
