L.A. Coroner: Brittany Murphy Dead at 32
Dec. 20, 2009, 2:42 PM EST
TheWrap

Actress Brittany Murphy has died, according to the Los Angeles coroner's office.

The 32-year-old actress, who starred in "Clueless" and with Eminem in "8 Mile," was declared dead at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, according to Selena Barrows, an investigator with the coroner's office.

"We have a preliminary death report of someone with the name of Brittany Murphy," Barrows told TheWrap. The report came from Cedars-Sinai Medical Center at 11 a.m. on Sunday.

The news was first reported by TMZ.com.

TMZ said multiple sources reported that the actress had gone into cardiac arrest and could not be revived on Sunday morning.

Barrows said cardiac arrest could mean any number of things, and was not an indication of the cause of death.

The Los Angeles City Fire Department said a 911 call was made at 8 a.m. from the Los Angeles home of Murphy's husband, Simon Monjack. She was pronounced dead on arrival at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center.

Born in Atlanta, Murphy started acting in regional theater at age 9; by age 13, she had signed with a manager and began appearing in television commercials. Her first roles were on TV series such as "Murphy Brown" and "Parker Lewis Can't Lose," which led to her breakthrough film, 1995's "Clueless."

In 2005, she signed on as the spokesmodel for Jordache Jeans. She has been named to both FHM's 10 Sexiest Women List, and Maxim's Hot 100.

In 2006, she released the single "Faster Kill Pussycat," which became a club hit on Billboard's Hot Dance Club Play chart. She also covered Queen's "Somebody to Love" and Earth, Wind & Fire's "Boogie Wonderland" for the film "Happy Feet."

She married screenwriter Monjack in 2007; before that, she was engaged to talent manager Jeff Kwatinetz, and production assistant Joe Macaluso. In late 2002, she dated Ashton Kutcher, with who she co-starred int he film "Just Married."

Cardiac arrest seems to be the catch-all cliche when it comes to a celebrity death. If she was dealing with anorexia most likely she would buy a farm from kidney failure or multiple-organ failure. Cardiac arrest would most likely result from a cocaine overdose so Little Texan may be on to something.

Shame to go so young...would have thought Lindsay Lohan would have been the next young starlet to punt out.

Maybe it was a combination of too much coke (for reasons having mostly to do with appearance, Murphy has struck me as a girl who wasn't altogether unfamiliar around a mirror and razor) and not enough food. Maybe it wasn't. Pity.

FRIENDS of Hollywood actress Brittany Murphy said she "definitely had a drug problem" amid fears she may have died from taking the same prescription drugs as Michael Jackson

Murphy, 32, was reportedly hooked on prescription drugs, including Vicodin, after a series of plastic surgery operations made her dependent on painkillers.

"We have been very worried something like this was about to happen," a friend told The Sun.

"Brittany has been living life on the edge. She definitely had a drug problem and we have all begged her to seek help. Sadly our words fell on deaf ears."

Murphy was taking prescription medication for flu-like symptoms she had been experiencing for several days, sources have told TMZ.

The actress was very ill in the hours before she went into cardiac arrest and was taken to Cedars-Sinai Medical Centre, where she was pronounced dead on arrival at 10.04am local time (Monday 5.04am AEDT).

TMZ reported Murphy began vomiting early Sunday morning and told family members she was feeling very sick.

Various prescriptions were found in the home - written for Murphy, her husband Simon Monjack, and Murphy's mother.

A source told TMZ: "There were a lot ... a lot of prescriptions in the house."

Monjak has reportedly asked that officials do not conduct an autopsy on her, despite her death being shrouded in mystery.

But despite his wishes, the LA County Coroner's office will perform an autopsy and toxicology report on the actress.

I had a friend in high school who was playing basketball shortly after graduation (a year or two). Very active, sports player, the whole bit. Apparently he had some kind of heart defect that nobody would have known about unless they were looking for it and he suddenly passed away one day on the court, very suddenly. Maybe it was the same sort of situation with Brittany.

Very unfortunate. You never think people will go this way. Being Hollywood, though, I'll take drugs for a dollar.

Supposedly the husband didn't want the autopsy for religious reasons (it's against Jewish law) but here's the creepy thing.......

Apparently this guy first met Brittany when she was underage and says he fell in love with her then (he's considerably older), so he might be a bit of a Pedobear. He also was apparently a bit of a control freak. So who knows? This could potentially be something really fucked up.

Also rumors of everything from drug use to anorexia to diabetes. The fact that she passed out in the shower might give some credibility to the last one... low blood sugar and hot temperatures do not mix well, so if she shot insulin before taking a shower without eating first, that may have led to unconsciousness. But even so, that shouldn't have been a coronary thing.

Probably more questions than answers here.

Bad Timing Alert! Chilling Brittany Murphy Movie Art Pulled
Wed., Dec. 23, 2009 1:32 PM PST by Josh Grossberg
Courtesy of E! Online

It's an eerie and tragic example of life imitating art.

In a dreadful case of bad timing, Brittany Murphy's sudden death on Sunday has forced the DVD rental company Redbox to yank box art images from its kiosks nationwide for the actress's latest film, Deadline.

The cover shows the 32-year-old's character lying lifeless in a bathtub.

http://images.eonline.com/eol_images/Entire_Site/20091223/293.Murphy.Brittany.cm.122309.jpg

Murphy, of course, collapsed in the bathroom of her Hollywood Hills home Sunday morning and, after unsuccessful attempts by family and paramedics to revive her, was pronounced dead at the hospital.

And that sent Redbox scrambling when it realized what was on the cover of the straight-to-DVD horror thriller.

"We are removing the box art images from our displays," Redbox spokeswoman Laura Dihel tells E! News. "We will continue to carry her film, but we will not be featuring the box art. We have 19,000 locations, and to be honest, I can't tell you if this particular art is up at all the locations."

Staffers began removing the Deadline artwork yesterday and hope to complete the task by Jan. 1. The box art was also pulled from the company's website.

In the film, Murphy plays a screenwriter who travels to a haunted Victorian mansion to finish a script on deadline, only to stumble upon videos recorded by past residents that lead her to have a psychological breakdown.

And that cover got pulled shortly after the plane crash and subbed with another one minus the flames...was the only cover available for years until several years ago when the old cover was used for the cd re-issues...never mind that the plane didn't burst into flames when it crashed and nobody on the plane was burned to death in the first place...

Yeah, I'd have to agree that Pyle/Rossington/Collins/Van Zant/Gaines/Powell/Wilkeson lineup was probably the best the band ever had, although a good chuck of the classic rock staples were done when Ed King was still in the band. But that One For The Road/Street Survivors lineup was killer. Great source for that lineup live is the Freebird movie that came out in the mid-1990s - great performances from the band at the 1976 Knebworth festival (where they reportedly blew the Rolling Stones off the stage).

Pretty shitty way for the band to have dissolved they way it initially did in 1977. So much so that it was understandable when they got back together ten years later and did a Tribute tour. These days, well...the idea of the current entity calling itself "Lynard Skynard" is a bit disconcerting, seeing that Rossington is the only one left, but at least the band can still play well live.

Yeah, but there's...like...different "careers" in Hollywood these days...for me, the media focus has become too lopsided, leaning toward the offscreen lives (or reports on the offscreen lives) of celebrities who are famous for being famous, rather than being famous for being talented.

I suppose that's always been true to some degree, but it seems like contemporary famous entertainers are paying as much attention, if not more, to their pr image as they are to their actual work.

For every decent actor like, say, Ed Norton, who comes in, does their work and fucks off away from the limelight, one is barraged by marginally talented celebs like Eva Longoria and the like who never met a red carpet they didn't like. And the quality of the work in the majority of those cases just isn't there. It's one thing to have a highly publicized, colorful offscreen life when you're Mickey Rourke, and you have talent and an overall great body of work behind you to offset all of that other jazz. When you get into that Jude Law/Jennifer Aniston level of A-list celebrity paried with C-list talent, it's the audiences that suffer having to sift through a bunch of mundane crap for choices.

True enough, but more than anything I believe it was the symbolism that affronted people, not so much as an indictment of the plane crash but the idea of these people burning as effigies somehow. And that picture of Gaines with his eyes closed and engulfed in flames was simply too much to deal with. Look, I still have the album (bought the week of release), and it includes a sheet full of tour dates that would never be fulfilled. To this day, I find that cover haunting.

A couple years later, the Rossington/Collins band performed a live radio show. At midnight, they played "Freebird". People in my area held parties (radio stations had announced days in advance that this would take place) in tribute. It was a very touching moment in time.

The live album/Street Survivors line up will always be seen as a "what could have been" type of deal, yet in reality they could have gone the way of the Charlie Daniels Band or the Atlanta Rhythm Section: a couple of hits, then off to the county fair circuit. The truth is, we'll never know for sure, other than the impact the band initially had on what passes for country music today. Bands like Skynyrd, Marshall Tucker and yes, the Eagles laid the blueprint for much of today's country music.

Terry, I agree completely with you when it comes to what constitutes the Lynyrd Skynyrd of today. Shit, the Van Zandt brothers put out better records by themselves. But in a way, I find it sorta cool that a LS vehicle is out there, playing these classic tunes to younger generations as well as folks like me that enjoy hearing 'em. No, that band ain't coming back. Yet it's nice to be reminded from time to time that they once existed.

I certainly understand why the original cover was a bit eerie, within the context of the band having the accident shortly afterwards.

They were just a great band, plain and simple. Sure, one will never know what would have happened had they not had the accident. The band got immortalized and mythologized. Kind of like how everybody raved about how "incredible" Double Fantasy was after Lennon was killed - understandable, although to me that album wasn't even as good as most of Lennon's solo stuff. Same with Hendrix, the Doors, etc. Any band or artist that dies while still in a productive period has the unintended benefit of being seen as forever young and/or talented. They don't have to struggle on and try to continue living up to their best material like, say, the Rolling Stones...or even Eddie Van Halen and Roth these days; trying to live up to a legend where with every passing year the past work is regarded as even greater than it was a year before.

It was kind of strange watching Skynyrd live a couple of years ago, and balancing the charges that the current incarnation is picking at a corpse, existing only so Gary Rossington's wife can go on shopping sprees against the fact that the band still sounded pretty good.

I thought the first reunion back in 1987 was done with respect and taste. Freebird was the last song and they had a huge video monitor that showed Ronnie and the rest of the deceased members. The whole crowd sang the song, not Johnie or the band. It was touching and they brought Allen Collins out in a wheelchair to give his blessings to the newly reformed band.

While they seem to still put on a great live show and all, I'm just not into seeing them anymore. They have put out a couple of decent tunes since the reformation but all in all after seeing them a few times it really lost it's appeal. The '87 show was awesome and fresh, can't really say that now.

FORD
12-26-2009, 06:37 PM
Yeah, the 87 show was alright. And even the rock n roll hall of fame performance was OK, because they managed to get Ed King, Artemus Pyle, and Bob Burns on stage. Still not the REAL Skynyrd, but considerably better than the continuing joke using the name now. And now that Rossington is the only surviving band member still in the tribute band, they really need to pull the plug on this thing. Hell, even some of the SCAB band members are dead now!

Yep, I want to say that the album was two months old when the plane went down. They immediately pulled that cover.

Just as an interesting aside one month prior to the crash Aerosmith chartered that same plane. They were boarded and waiting for takeoff when an engine caught fire. It spooked them so bad they wouldn't fly on it even after the problem was squared away. Joe Perry said "It gave him a bad feeling"....

I remember hearing something along the lines that it was the family and surviving members that had to threaten the Record Company to finally get that album covered pulled. Record exec's didn't want to incur the expense of pulling and reprinting the album cover.

There was a rockumentary about the ugly side of the band and a ton of dirt was revealed. The biggest ones I remember were Billy Powell never held Cassie Gains in his arms as she was dying, he made that up. That the current band can only tour with Ronnie's widow getting a huge cut and her permission. The current band from 87 on were more like hired musicians. I've searched for the TV show and still haven't found it. When I do I'll post the link.

More than anything, it was Artimus Pyle who exaggerated his role in the crash. His behavior in the documentary was downright strange, such as refusing to be interviewed at his home (he'd meet the crew at gas stations or in restaurant parking lots). Come to find out, at the time he was sexually abusing both of his preteen (aged 4 and 8) daughters. Somehow, this stayed out of the news and was pretty much a local story, and even more alarming is he got away with it, with probation. He is still listed as a sex offender on the state's website: THOMAS DELMER PYLE-Florida Sexual Offender (http://offender.fdle.state.fl.us/offender/flyer.do?personId=4209)

OK people fuck themselves up everywhere. Hollywood has higher percentages.


I don't even know if that is necessarily true from a statistical point of view.

Hollywood fuckups are just covered in the media on a wider national scale.

Check out your local news broadcasts any night of the week, and it's a regular fuckup parade of bank robbers, sad sacks down on their luck and the like.

Yeah but the bank robbers aren't anexoric, spoiled crackheads with too much money and low self-esteem issues. The town is populated with people who need and crave attention by definition. You want to blame it on higher media exposure, knock yourself out.

Supposedly the husband didn't want the autopsy for religious reasons (it's against Jewish law) but here's the creepy thing.......

Apparently this guy first met Brittany when she was underage and says he fell in love with her then (he's considerably older), so he might be a bit of a Pedobear. He also was apparently a bit of a control freak. So who knows? This could potentially be something really fucked up.



I remember reading that her husband was walking around an airport incoherently not too long ago, maybe a couple of months ago. Yeah, there's something up there me thinks. :umm:

I could dig where you were coming from, hence the thanks.

Hey, I'm not a prick to the point where I can't give props to another point of view, even if I disagree with it.;)

Ever heard of being respectful of the dead? I know her life might look a bit sketchy lately, but give her a break. :umm:

One of my favorite Alice Cooper tunes. When it breaks into that 50s doo-wop section, it's brilliant. And the backing vocals are simply hilarious.
