She had to have multiple docs prescribing the anxiety meds. I enjoyed her work...rip.

Such a shame. You was one of the, if not the, prettiest girls in Hollywood.

I’m very surprised conditions associated with anorexia was not mentioned as part of the cause of death.

The article said "no illegal drugs".

• propranolol - is a blood pressure drug, a beta blocker
• Hydrocodone - a pain killer,
• Phenazopyridine - Urinary tract medicine
• Fluoxetine - Prozac, an antidepressant
• Dextromethorphan - Cough suppressant
• Chlorpheniramine - Anti-histamine
• methamphetamines - A nervous system stimulent,
• Methamphetamine is FDA approved for the treatment of ADHD and exogenous obesity.[4]

  Looks to me, (not a doctor but I play one on FR), like the Methamphetamines in the heart are suspicious. Don't know how long those would stay there. But it seems like a stimulent would be contraindicated with the high blood pressure medicines.

• The hydrocodone is suspicious too. That's a strong pain killer with some addictive capacity. A cousin to Oxycodone.

Propranolol (heart), Hydrocodone (Pain), Phenazopyridine (Urinary), Fluoxetine (antidepressant), Dextromethorphan (cough suppressant), Chlorpheniramine(antihistamine)

Methamphetamine (nervous system stimulant) Schedule II drug and is available only through a prescription that cannot be refilled

From the report:
“No illegal drugs were detected in her body.”

The meth probably made her nervous so she took the propranolol...the the fluoxetine for the anxiety, she had a UTI and the rest are just various opiates

[dfwgator]

But thank god none of the drugs were “illegal” /s

[DarthVader]

This looks to be very similar to what happened to Heath Ledger.

LuAnn is my favorite character too.

Hey, I take a lot of vitamins, fortunately nothing else. Everytime I go to the doctor, he sends me off with something new. I never hardly go to the doctor. I just got my apendix taken out, they sent me home with an Rx for Oxycodeine/Oxycontine something. I can't take that crap.

That autopsy is scary. It could happen to any of us. She basically died from her Doctor's prescriptions. May God have mercy on her loving soul.
