Brittany Murphy's autopsy report is pending toxicology tests but for Brittany's half-brother Jeff Bertolotti it's a casualty either way.

"People come into the town with their dreams and get chewed up alive and those who make it get chewed up alive anyway," Jeff told People.com.

Adding, "And that's what happened to Brittany. She's a casualty of that town."

While some (including authorities) are looking to husband and screenwriter Simon Monjack for answers, brother Jeff couldn't speak for him since they'd never met. All the while, mentioning that whoever was around her should have been more responsible for her health.

"I'm not saying it's their fault, but I do think they should have taken care of her better," he said.

"I think she should have been cared for. Look, if she died at 32, something is not right. What happened? I don't get it. At 32 years old something happened. I don't know what. I'm sure there was no foul play. It's just that something is wrong. … It's heartbreaking. I was crazy about that kid."
