Sadly Brittany Murphy’s death isn’t a hoax as many people tweeted or blogged. The beautiful actress died yesterday in Los Angeles at the age of 32, and at the moment there is no official cause of the death. Brittany Murphy suddenly collapsed in her bathroom, but the Los Angeles Fire Department squad who rushed at the area couldn’t save her. Although the firefighters made all efforts possible to resuscitate her, it was too late and she was pronounced DOA at the Cedars-Sinai Medical Hospital.

According to the assistant chief coroner of the Los Angeles County, she appears to have died of natural causes as no drugs or toxic substances were found at the scene, however, the full autopsy will tell us more. Some rumors say that Brittany Murphy suffered from an eating disorder called anorexia and she died because she was too skinny, but like aforementioned we should wait for the autopsy before jumping into conclusions.

Brittany Murphy starred in movies like Clueless, Just Married, Uptown Girls, Sin City, 8 Mile, Happy Feet (voice), and Little Black Book. Next year you will be able to see her feature in “The Expendables,” a movie in post-production and with an impressive cast including Sylvester Stallone, Jason Statham, Jet Li, Dolph Lundgren, Eric Roberts, and Bruce Willis amongst others.

The actress was married to a British screenwriter named Simon Monjack since May 2007.

RIP Brittany Murphy November 10, 1977 – December 20, 2009.
