Drugs, Eating Disorder Didn't Kill Brittany Murphy Says Husband & Mom
Posted on Jan 20, 2010 @ 06:30AM
The death of actress Brittany Murphy was not the result of drug use or an eating disorder, her mother and widower told the Associated Press Wednesday, a month to the day after the Clueless star was found dead in her Los Angeles home.
While the toxicology reports of the 32-year-old’s death have yet to be made public, Murphy’s husband Simon Monjack said a faulty heart valve condition, known as mitral valve prolapse, was to blame for the shocking December 20 death. Monjack said Murphy was told she "would live a long and healthy life" by her doctors.
Murphy's mother, Sharon Murphy, said that her daughter "would not take too much caffeine. She wouldn't even have a glass of champagne on New Year's -- She was just high on life, and people see that as something else I guess."

I want to say with her having a heart murmur and if she had a (eating disorder) "just saying" it would have weakened her heart and caused several other organs for become weak. my Dad has a heart Murmur and his heart is fine

This sounds like Tila Tiquelia (or whatever her name is) telling everyone how Casey Johnson died before the coroner and toxicology reports are in. They all think if they supercede the reports, they do damage control.

They don't know what caused her death, so why do they keep insisting they do? This is just what they hope is true. Leave it to Lammy King to give them time to talk about it before anyone knows for sure, though.

IT DOESNT MATTER WHAT HER FAMILY THINKS CAUSED HER DEATH.. IT MATTERS WHAT THE DRS SAY.. NO POINT IN SPECULATING.
