Brittany Murphy update: Hospital tried to revive actress 3 times, neighbor gives interview


AP

Brittany Murphy, famed actress and wife to Simon Monjack, passed away at age 32 from cardiac arrest. New details on the tragedy are emerging. RadarOnline reports that the hospital she was taken to Cedars Sinai tried to revive the actress "three times before pronouncing her dead at 10:04am Sunday."

Brittany Murphy's neighbor, Clare Staples told RadarOnline.com: “I saw five firemen bringing down the gurney and take her down to the firetruck, trying to resuscitate her by the fire truck. She had tubes down her throat…I think she was dead already.” According to the neighbor, Murphy's husband was “wandering around in his pajama bottoms with no shoes on. He wasn’t even near the gurney, he was just staggering around.” Staples adds: “I came out to see what was going on because I saw two big fire trucks and a paramedic outside the house. It’s a tragedy, such a tragedy.”

Murphy's friends and peers, like the world is shocked to hear of her untimely passing. Many celebrities took to their Twitter accounts to express their grief and condolences.

As was reported earlier today, many celebrities that knew Murphy personally, such as former co-star Ashton Kutcher have expressed their grief via Twitter.

    I'm so sorry to hear about Brittany Murphy's passing. My sincere condolences go out to her husband and her entire family at this difficult time. I just lost my brother 3 weeks ago. It's so painful. He was 36 years old. But, I know both Daniel and Brittany are in a better place. Brittany will be missed dearly. I am deeply sorry....

    God has a purpose? It's God's purpose when people get sick and die? Doesn't seem merciful to me. Tsami, earthquake, hurricane...all God's purpose? For what? To prove some rebel angel wrong? I don't know where Murphy is right now. RIP anyway.
