The tragic and sudden death of 32-year-old actress Brittany Murphy rocked the world today, and left many asking the question, "How did Brittany Murphy die?"
Certainly a reasonable question, given that it's fairly rare for someone that young to just perish without any external causes.
But while speculation is swirling as to what caused Murphy to go into cardiac arrest and die, an official from the Los Angeles Coroner's office is saying that Murphy's death "appears to be natural." An autopsy has been planned within the next couple of days to try and find out an answer to why Murphy would have had a massive heart attack.
Murphy started her career in television and had a lengthy run as the voice of Luanne Platter on Fox's animated series King of the Hill. She also starred in hit movies such as Clueless and 8 Mile.
Murphy is likely to appear posthumously in next year's Sylvester Stallone action film, The Expendables.

every movie I've seen brittany m. in, was fantastic, it didn't matter what role she played, she was that good in her craft. the silver screen has lost a major hit.
this is so sad, she was absolutely amazing..
I'm so very sad /;
she was so young... Who would have ever guessed her life would end so soon?
These celebrities need to not stress out so much to get heartattacks :|
may your soul rest in peace, Brittany.
I don't think the death of a subpar actress who had spiraled into obscurity can be said to have rocked the world. I'm pretty sure 99.99999% of everyone is clueless she's dead.
Wow, how sad. Right before christmas too :(
We gotta live each day like were dyin.
I still can't believe it!
Life is crazy! Its more like live each day like its your last day on earth! Im
Hey Me, Your a JERK!!!!

Wow, Me, what a horrible thing to say about someone who has just passed away. True many people may not know now, but i was totally rocked when i found out via internet moments ago. It'll make evening news for sure, and there will undoubtedly be many heartbroken fans of this young amazing beautiful actress. When you die, on the other hand, you will be lucky to have that .00001% of "people who currently know about her death" show up to your funeral (Although I don't wish your death upon you in any way). Happy Holidays, jerk.
Brittany Murphy, sorry to see you go so soon. Ive enjoyed many movies I've seen you in. RIP girly, see you on the other side.

You can't just die of "natural causes", that's just a categorization. Medically speaking, she had to die somehow. ET correspondent was saying she was battling type 2 diabetes for a week now plus a flu.
moo
you people need to get a life! "Oh I'm still crying from Michael Jackson dying" None of these people matter.
U ALL REALLY HAVE NO LIFE OF YOUR OWN>>>GET A GRIP!!!

so sad i wish she didnt die she was a good actor even in DEADLINE! it was alsome! R.I.P we love u and we wish u good luck &tONs of LUV
I can see where LittleMissSlutty is coming from.
Brittany Murphy only was a successful actress that made millions of dollars,was a gifted singer and was a huge voice talent on over 200 episodes of King of the Hill and several movies. She only traveled the world and was kind and generous to those she met.
I bet LittleMissSlutty needs help and hope she gets it.
i love brittany murphy she is awsome she dies at such a young age n it really kills me to see this happen to her i wish he lot of love in heaven.. and no everyone will always be thinking of you brittany
I loved Brittany Murphy and i always will :]] R.I.P Brittany I love yhu!!
It's weird I'm an old broad and I just recently discovered her. Then my granddaughter was telling me Amy Winehouse was killed by the Illuminati so I did an internet search on that and it pulled up Brittany's death! I didn't even know Brittany was gone and it'll be two years next month! Some people think the illuminati killed her too. I don't know, that's stuff is pretty crazy BUT it really is starting to make sense. Read about Laurel Canyon, MK mind control and how Hollywood is a propaganda machine for brainwashing the masses & these young people are raised up to either deliver their message or die. Brittany and Amy died at 27 which suggests they rebelled against their controllers.
