The L.A. County coroner’s office says actress Brittany Murphy died of pneumonia complicated by an iron deficiency, anemia and multiple drug intoxication.
Coroner officials said Murphy had gone into sudden cardiac arrest because of “drug intake,” and the Dec. 20 death was classified as an accident. They said an autopsy report would be available in two weeks.
Murphy, 32, went into cardiac arrest at her home in the Hollywood Hills. L.A. firefighters responded to a medical call at about 8 a.m. at the home she shared with husband Simon Monjack in the 1800 block of Rising Glen Road.
Firefighters tried unsuccessfully to revive Murphy on the way to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, where she was pronounced dead about two hours later.
Born Nov. 10, 1977, in Atlanta, Murphy moved to Burbank with her mother when she was 13. Her film break came in the movie “Clueless” (1995), in which she starred opposite Alicia Silverstone.
Murphy made many other film appearances, including in “Girl Interrupted” (1999), “8 Mile” (2002), “The Dead Girl” (2006), and “Across the Hall” (2009). She also was featured as the voice of Luanne Platter in the Fox TV show “King of the Hill.”

I hope her family is at peace…it’s sad it was avoidable but I hope they don’t take it out on themselves
My heart goes out to Brittany’s family and friends. I always thought she was such a beautiful person, those eyes said it all. We will miss you Brittany, you touched so many people and this is even more tragic because we did not have to lose you to begin with.
However, your life has a greater meaning for us all; that we must live life every day as if it was our last and embrace the love we receive from family and friends.
Oh God So Sad!!!… Why?
