Los Angeles, December 21: We’re still reeling from the news on the ‘Net that Brittany Murphy, best known for her roles in movies like Clueless, Just Married, Sin City, 8 Mile, Happy Feet (she voiced Gloria ), Ramen Girl and TV’s King Of The Hill (she voiced Luanne), has passed on.
Sadly, this actress is no more, she has ceased to be. She was found unconscious in the shower by her mum at her West Hollywood home on Sunday morning. According to reports, a spokesperson for Cedars Sinai Medical Center said that Murphy died at 10.04am (1.04am Singapore time). Cause of death “appears to be natural”.
Murphy was married to British writer-director Simon Monjack, who apparently told hospital staff he did not want an autopsy performed on his deceased wife. See, this is where it gets interesting. Why not? It’s natural causes. Or is it? Perhaps being dead at 32 is not so natural. But perhaps there are many people aged 32 who have died naturally. What do I know?
However, the LA County Coroner’s will reportedly launch an investigation into her death. The actress’s rep, Nicole Perna, confirmed the news, releasing a statement that said: “In this time of sadness, the family thanks you for your love and support. It is their wish that you respect their privacy.”
OK, no more slagging from me. It’s sad to see someone go like that though. According to IMDB, she has three movies in post-production. So we’ll be looking forward to that.
Meanwhile, on that popular site called Twitter, star chimed in with their thoughts.
