As RadarOnline.com reported exclusively last week, the mystery surrounding the young starlet’s death would be solved this week – and it practically has.
The one piece of the puzzle still missing is the release of the full autopsy report, which will tell us exactly what drugs Murphy was taking. Ed Winter, assistant chief coroner of Los Angeles county, said that the drug’s in Murphy’s system were all prescription or over-the-counter. No illegal drugs were found.

The drugs in her system, plus pneumonia and anemia became a deadly combination for the actress.
Murphy, 32, was found dead December 20 at her home in the Hollywood Hills, where she lived with her husband Simon Monjack.
As RadarOnline.com has previously reported, Monjack and Murphy’s mother Sharon have both said they believe she died of natural causes, and have denied that she suffered from an eating disorder or abused drugs.

I have had pneumonia and nearly died from pain drugs the hospital gave me while in their care. Don't take a whole lot of drugs to kill you if you are really sick.

if he doesn't have the results how can he assume the point of death as fact? he either has the results or he doesn't. probably a doctor fcking up as always and not taking their patient seriously

If TMZ is to be trusted (?), she really was sick and the drugs she took just pushed her over the edge. Like Casey, this death was so unnecessary. I thought ill of Simon after she died. I was wrong.

I am sure they loved one another, they just seemed like an odd pair, he does give me that feeling too, and it probably is unfair of me to feel that way, he may be a genuine loving nice guy. I don't know what to think anymore with stars dying.

Let's remember these are GOSSIP SITES, not Gospel Sites. Gossip sells, so they put spins on the truth to sell the story and get the hits.
