Brittany Murphy Dies at Age 32
I was just watching Brittany Murphy in the movie “Ramen Girl” a few weeks back and now the news that she died at a young age of 32 is a complete shocker. Murphy was the chubby girl in “Clueless” and the love opposite of Eminem in his first full movie “8 Mile.” I loved her in “Just Married” with Ashton Kutcher and “Uptown Girls” with Dakota Fanning. She also gave voice to character “Gloria” in the 2006 animated feature, “Happy Feet.”
I haven’t seen her in movies in recent times except when I caught “Ramen Girl” on Star Movies. It was reported that she died in Los Angeles over the weekend with no determined cause of death. Los Angeles County coroner’s official however said that it appears to be of natural causes.
Murphy apparently collapsed in the bathroom, and somebody placed a 911 call. The Los Angeles Fire Department was first to respond at 8 am at her house in Hollywood Hills. Murphy was pronounced dead at 10:04 a.m. at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, but it appears that she might have died instantaneously. She was married to British screenwriter Simon Monjack. Murphy’s husband, wearing pajama bottoms and no shoes, appeared “dazed” as firefighters tried to save her.
Authorities are currently looking into her medical history. An autopsy will be conducted for Monday or Tuesday. Winter said Murphy’s family was cooperating with the coroner’s investigation. Funeral arrangements have not been announced.
She dated Ashton Kutcher, who costarred with Murphy in 2003’s romantic comedy “Just Married.”
Kutcher sent a message on Twitter Sunday morning about Murphy’s death: “2day the world lost a little piece of sunshine,” Kutcher wrote. “My deepest condolences go out 2 Brittany’s family, her husband, & her amazing mother Sharon.”
