Actress Brittany Murphy dies at 32 of heart attack
NY Daily News ^ | 12/20/2009

Movie star Brittany Murphy is dead of a heart attack at 32.

She went into full cardiac arrest early Sunday and could not be revived, the Website TMZ reported.

The Los Angeles City Fire Department got a call from the home of Murphy's husband Simon Monjack about 8 a.m., fire officials told TMZ.

She was taken to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, where she was pronounced dead on arrival

Murphy starred in "8 Mile," and "Don't Say a Word."

The starlet became a household name among teens in 1995 as the sidekick in "Clueless," who went from awkward wall flower to snotty hottie.

A few years ago, she released the single "Faster Kill Pussycat," which became a dance club hit.

Her last big movie was "Sin City" in 2005

It is so irksome when 'cardiac arrest', which happens with death every time is listed as the cause of death, or worse, is called a heart attack.

We'll learn shortly what the real cause of death was, and it wasn't heart disease.

In looking at her it could have been coke or anorexia/bulimia.

Basically the same results. Weightloss to the point of your body eating away it’s own muscle when starved for protein.

I know, I’m bad.

You know it’s breaking news when you can make it to her wiki page before the date of death is added and ‘is’ is changed to ‘was’.

did she die of starvation?

No, she was looking to win a race.

She instead said good bye to love...

“Yep. that was my first thought. recent pics have her looking like she’s about 80-90 lbs. her heart probably gave up. Poor kid.”

Sad...get rid of all fat and the body starts digesting muscle...game over.

In that case, I should live to be 130 years old.

I haven’t seen her recently and I wouldn’t have recognized her from the photo above. She looks so emaciated.

She was on the Tonight Show after her break up with Ashton Kutcher...LOL...Jay told her that age must not matter to Ashton (being w/Demi Moore) and Brittany Murphy replied, I guess size doesn’t matter to Demi.
*sigh*
