Title: Brittany Murphy Dead @ 32 years old
Post by: Reschke on December 20, 2009, 02:38:36 PM
Well I certainly didn't think she was the best actress in the world but she had several pretty good roles comedy, voice over and teen flicks.

 A cardiac arrest at such an early age . She had some good roles and while I agree with Reschke she was no top actress , she could and did do some movies that entertained people . RIP

such a shame, I wonder if she had an underlying heart problem for her to pass so early

Geeze, this has been a bad year to be a celebrity.

Such an incredible shame, especially as young as she was.

I'm not positive, but I think cardiac arrest can be related to eating disorders like anorexia nervosa.   Not saying she had it, but she does look awfully thin.   I always thought she was beautiful and had a great smile.   Sad day.

My wife said it could be that or drugs.  I really can not see her doing drugs, she not that party animal type.

She was also an active player in many programs for needy children.

Regardless of what her abilities were it is a shame she is gone.....

Early word so far is that they're saying it's natural causes. It's all pending a toxicology screening but at least early indications are no drugs.

I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say, thats very ignorant of you to say.
Yes she had a problem in the past with it. Do you have any clue what it does to your heart?
Before making another ignorant post like that, think about it.

I happen to meet her a few times. She was a very sweet kind and caring person. She was as beautiful on the inside as she was on the out.

Its possible. I had a friends wife that passed at 26yrs old due to a heart condition that went un diagnosed from childhood.She died from cardiac arrest also, and never drank, smoked or did drugs. She left behind a husband and a 1yrold baby. Quite sad

My first thought was drugs, ( especially after the SNL skit 2 weeks ago) but I read an article that quoted her claiming to have a heart condition from a few years ago so its possible she passed away from that.  Either way its a tragedy to die so young, and having it happen so close to Christmas just adds to it.

Yeah, she was a celebrity. But celebrity doesn't by default mean there were drugs involved.

So far they're saying natural causes, and she had flu-like symptoms in the days leading up to her death.

My cousin got into the coke scene at about the same age. Damn near killed herself. Developed a heart murmur, had deterioration of the heart wall, lost weight, had a minor heart attack which woke her up and she straightened up.

Looks like this gal didn't see the light coming on.

 You are correct Bi,it was uncalled for,but not ignorant as I'm fully aware of what damage can be done from drugs.

 I've seen pix of her resently and she looked awfully thin and while that could be cause from several things I assumed eating disorder or Cola,afterall wasnt it Robin Willams that said"cocaine is gods way of telling you your making to much money"

 So if I offended you I appologize,it was crass on my part.To be honest I didnt believe it was true was thought I'd make a joke of it........

   Guess I was wrong.                                                                       Morf

What a shame...

Hey, not to sound mean or anything, but is she related to Eddie Murphy? 

Poor girl, it could have been a combination of a weakened immune system from undereating and a nasty case of the flu, perhaps H1N1.  Anyway, one of my babysitters died from heroin.  She seemed nice, and cared for us very well.  She was buried not too long ago.  We shouldn't rule anything out from what could have happened.

If there is another world, keep wowing them up there!  :rock

From what I've been reading it may have been due to drugs, but prescription drugs.  They're saying that when they found her she was in the shower with vomit all over, and that they found a large amount of prescription drugs in the house.

No worries bro. She was an amazing person. like i said, i met her a few times. and laughed so hard each time her and i spoke. But she had many health issues, including heart issues from the drugs.

I personally know what drugs do to you. I HAD a $500 a day drug habit. I just dont see jokes about drugs very funny. Ive helped bury many friends because of it. And watched many great people destroy their lives.

Same here, I don't think there's anything more evil in this world then drugs, the person they turn you into is just horrible.  I've been sober now for just over 3 1/2 years and I'm so much happier in my life now, I would never want to go back to the person I was during that period.

New reports saying she died from Natural Causes

I've said that several times already. Unfortunately because she was an actress and was unusually thin it IMMEDIATELY must mean drugs. Because, y'know, it's not like you can lose a lot of weight if you have a severe illness.

I was at 130lbs and 6 feet when I was hospitalized. Thought everything was cool till they said I was type 1 diabetic. Weight loss is def a symptom.
Title: Re: Brittany Murphy Dead @ 32 years old
Post by: Saxman on December 22, 2009, 09:39:47 AM
Exactly my point. She could have had a completely non drug-related underlying condition that was exacerbated by a severe case of the flu or another disease. She could have been an undiagnosed diabetic, or her weight loss could have been from any NUMBER of illnesses and not ONE of them the result of drugs.

Until a Tox Screen comes back saying "coke" why not give a person the benefit of the doubt for once? It's a tragic enough situation without the wannabee Paparazzi spinning their own versions.

I guess I'll take the liberty of putting a cork on this controversy...

The cause of death was Pneumonia coupled with an accidental over-the-counter flu medication overdose.

So unless she was taking nyquil to get a buzz, I think some people here are going to be disappointed.

I guess in a way you're right. Presumption based on a single example is always more efficient than a conclusion based on facts. Helps everyone make sense of things.

From the article cited above:  "A coroner's report released lists the primary cause of death as community acquired pneumonia, with contributing factors of iron deficiency anaemia and "multiple drug intoxication". Her death was ruled accidental.
 
Coroners officials confirmed prescription medications also played a role in her death."

So a little more 'Hollywood' than just Nyquil.

I think she did love and was loved dearly.  Let it rest at that.
