So sad, I'd hate to think of another tragedy due to an accidental rx overdose.

If she had "flu-like' symptoms, it's also possible she died from the flu. The flu virus can attack the heart muscle. But it is so sad...she was too young.

BM had a long history of anorexia. excessive vomiting can cause a heart attack.

She had a drug problem. that is why she was fired from her last film. Also, her husband didn't want an autopsy. Why? If my spouse died suddenly at the age 32 I'd want to know unless you contributed to her drug addiction.

if he's jewish, it's against his faith. no autopsy. no open casket. it's disrespectful for people to poke, prod, and stare at one's dead body.
