What a sad moment. :( My condolences.
So depressing, human life is too precious, and too beautiful for death to occur...It might be a natural thing, and a nescessary part of life, but it doesnt mean its right...
RIP Brittnay, you were an amazing actress, I loved you in "Clueless" and "uptown girls", hopefully your in a better place...
That lady just seemed like a sweetheart! You can never forget a woman like her. My heart and prayers go out to the ones who loves this wonderful being!
that is truly a shock...still cant believe it! my condolences to her family and all those who knew her.
"Associated Content reported that there are rumors of possible cocaine drug use with a combination of an eating disorder as possible cause of death factors."
And that's enough for you to go on, without any substantiation? What if that were you or a loved one? What about this woman's family? You put it in the body, the hed and the caption. You had an ulterior motive.
What was the purpose? To be one of the first to spread the rumor just in case it turned out to be true? To have something different for the spiders to crawl?
I meant it when I wrote on this site that Perez Hilton should be fed his own testicles for what he wrote (x-2446-North-Jersey-Crime-Examiner~y2009m12d20). Maybe they give him one and you the other.
Heartless is what it is. Without compassion or empathy. All for the glory of you.
We're all people. Brothers. Sisters. Every one is everyone.
well ... how else would one explain a heart attack a such a young age? At least there is no mention of an actual name-brand drug. The public should be aware of these glorified lifestyles and how they can result in death and family trauma.
This woman was amazing and now she is gone. If anyone is trying to get noticed for this it is Ashton. "See you on the other side kid.." ? whatever... stfu, dude needs to be biotch slapped.
I still cannot believe that she is dead she was such a sweet girl very beautiful too. I hope it is not drugs too many celebrities have died from it why does there have to be such evil addictive stuff in this world we are only here for a short while why ruin it with that stuff. condolences to the family
Amazing actress....clueless is right...who cares.
She was a known drug addict, a terrible actress who's best role was in a movie with the guy from Punked. She is lucky they needed someone who looked like a drug addict to play in Sin City. I promise you she made more money from that movie than any other crap she was in. Oh yeah, and a animated penguin movie, forgot about that performance. She deserved an award for they way she was a cartoon.
Come on, please stop living your life through idiotic celebrities.
Its not like we lost Julia Roberts or Meryl Streep
Why do you always put the title of the story at the beginning of your story. Are you too stupid to not copy and paste the whole thing?
My condolences to the family for their loss. Regradless of how some of you feel about Brittney Murphy, she was a good actress, funny and full of life in her movies. I'm pretty sure many actors and actresses have a dark secret be it now or in their past. She was still gifted.
A husband, a family, sister or brother just lost a loved one. Have respect with your stupid azz comments of WHO CARES NOT LIKE IT WAS MERYL STREEP or JULIA ROBERTS! Don't comment at all freak! I am pretty sure you were probably one of the idiots that cried for Michael Jackson, remember the one who was taken to court for molesting children?? The one who did drugs as well??
He was still a great performer but had issues! So back the heck off READER!
Not for nothing....but so much for disliking her acting READER you sure know all the movies she was in!
those of you with the rude comments,,, you are all stupid. a human life was lost.let that sink into your tiny stupid heads.we as humans should care if another dies and we should all feel the heartache that her loved ones are feeling. get a life people.. and when you tell me to get a life myself because im on this thing making comments also,, dont waste your time i already pointed that out ,, im not on this crazy internet much.. it took me an hour just to type this comment. so again dont waste your time to comment negative crap about me.. god bless all of you
lolzz.. Sum ppl are soo patheticc.. ..
anyways
Yea it is a sad momment hunny.
My condolences to da Fam <3
Whoever writes anything negative about this case is just ignorante..READER I'm pretty sure since you are judging her so much about doing drugs i'm very sure that, you have tried it in the past and still trying even more. So, people like, you should not make rude and stupid comments like that. It makes look like an idiot.
Best Wishes to her family
how did she have a heart attack at 32? this is the issue.
You people need to grow up and stop talking s*^t unless you know the facts. My GOD a family just lost their child, sister and wife no matter what the reason for her death. I cannot believe that humans think the way you people do......it makes me sick and it is truly embarrassing that someone could make comments the way you all have....would you talk about your own mother, father, brother or sister this way...sick people you are! As for Ashton he can say whatever he wants...his comments are not stupid like you all.
she was 32!!... and had a heart attack!!.. that sucks. So let us not DENY that it was most likely drug induced. That way your younger family members will be AWARE that this can happen... I don't want to hear your sob-stories.
Why do ppl say "I hope it was not drugs" as if it makes cir cumstances of her death any better for her.
Most ppl seem to like her, and even those who speculate drug use are not trying to make her look bad.
