Michael Badin was on TV and says it was an over dose. Someone in the coroner office leaked she was on Ativan and Vicodin and some other anti seizure drugs. Rest in peace Brittany. You will be missed dearly.

I'd be dazed too if I saw five EMTs trying to save my wife.

No one can say at this point that she died of "natural causes". Not very likely. We will have to await autopsy and toxicology results.

Brittany Murphy was a lovely young woman. She died of natural causes.

A heart attack at 32 is not normal hence the autopsy. Yes, we know she had some illnesses she endured (diabetes and uncomfirmed heart issues) but it is still not "normal". She was beautiful, talented & too young to die. We're all shocked.

Lucky she's famous to have gotten all that attention. You or I would have gotten about 30 seconds of CPR, and then....sheet over the head. Celebrities are our most valuable national treasure, don't forget....
