From what I have read, she's Irish and Italian American.

umm... there are Irish Jews and Italian Jews

Anyways, I just read that she was raised Baptist. Her husband however is Jewish.

Yes, I know. But I haven't read anywhere that she was Jewish.

You can't refuse an autopsy in a sudden and unexpected death under unexplained circumstances.

An autopsy on the body of Brittany Murphy was completed but Los Angeles authorities said it would be several weeks before the actress's exact cause of death was pinpointed. Assistant Coroner Ed Winter said an initial examination of the 32-year-old actress's body found no evidence of "trauma" after early reports indicated the "Clueless" star died from heart-related causes. Los Angeles coroner's said the precise cause of death would only be known in "four to six weeks" when toxicology tests are completed.

Supposedly (on the news segment I watched last night) one of the coroners said that he never heard anything about her husband not wanting the autopsy done.


This is so sad, and right before Christmas.

This is what her husband said to People

"My initial reaction to the autopsy was – they're going to cut her open – I couldn't bear it," Monjack said, weeping. "That would break her mother, but we realized we needed to know. I look forward to getting the results."

10 types of prescription meds found in her room at home.

Brittany Murphy's husband and mother made a frantic attempt to revive her before paramedics arrived ... this according to notes written by an investigator from the L.A. County Coroner's office. And, there were a shocking number of strong prescription meds on Brittany's nightstand.

TMZ has reviewed the documents, written by Investigator Blacklock. According to his notes, Brittany Murphy "had been complaining of shortness of breath and severe abdominal pain" for 7 to 10 days prior to her death. According to the notes, Murphy went into the bathroom at around 7:30 AM Sunday and shut the door.

A half hour later Brittany's mother, Sharon Murphy, went to check on her daughter, opened the bathroom door and "discovered the decedent lying on the floor unresponsive." According to the notes, Sharon yelled for help. Brittany's husband, Simon Monjack, who was in bed, heard the screams and ran to the bathroom.

According to the notes, Sharon called 911 and Simon "attempted to revive the decedent by placing her in the shower and running the water."

The notes continue -- "The decedent remained unresponsive and purged her stomach contents prior to the arrival of the paramedics."

When the paramedics arrived, Brittany was "without signs of life."

Paramedics moved Brittany from the bathroom to the master bedroom, where they found a slew of prescription drugs -- "A check of the nightstands revealed large amounts of prescription medication in the decedent's name. Also noted were numerous empty prescription medication bottles in the decedent's husband's name, the decedent's mother's name and unidentified third party names."

According to the notes, the medications included Topamax (anti-seizure meds also to prevent migraines), Methylprednisolone (anti-inflammatory), Fluoxetine (depression med), Klonopin (anxiety med), Carbamazepine (treats Diabetic symptoms and is also a bipolar med), Ativan (anxiety med), Vicoprofen (pain reliever), Propranolol (hypertension, used to prevent heart attacks), Biaxin (antibiotic), Hydrocodone (pain med) and miscellaneous vitamins.

The notes say, "No alcohol containers, paraphernalia or illegal drugs were discovered."

According to the notes, "The night prior to her death, the decedent had consumed some noodles, leftover Thai food, Gatorade, water and tea with lemon."

The notes also say Brittany had a history of hypoglycemia and was hospitalized in April 2009 for low blood sugar while on location in Oregon."

Monjack told the investigator during the 7 to 10 days prior to her death, Brittany complained of shortness of breath and severe abdominal pains but he was not overly alarmed because "she often suffered from severe menstrual pains."

The investigator spoke with police at the scene, who told him "foul play is not suspected."

I caught a bit of what's being called her last filmed interview and was a bit taken back. I wasn't even sure it was her and probably wouldn't have recognized her if I didn't know what the story was about. Not looking healthy at all.

And it bothers me the stars on Twitter who are spelling her name incorrectly... that really bothers me.

10 types of prescription meds found in her room at home.


TMZ

Carbamazepine is not used to treat Diabetes..

And all the rest of the prescriptions are used for so many different things.. we wouldn't really know what she was using everything for. Propranolol could have been used for headache prophylaxis as well.

Its just so surprising her med-list is just displayed so publicly.. does this happen to everyone who passes away? I definitely don't think she needed to be on ALL those meds, but I just have to wonder what happened to privacy??? What happened to HIPAA??

Rest In Peace

man, so sad. she did a secretive downward spiral - bad roles, bad plastic surgery, shady husband, but nothing like going out to clubs everynight ***
i was just watching a horrible movie of hers (Deadline) on Netflix the other day, wondering if she'd get her career back. eerie. RIP Brittany, you always seemed like the sweetest girl who never stopped trying.

 

[clocked]

OMG I LOVED that part! She always played her characters perfectly....... I was hoping "The Caller" would revive her career but now its too late and I'm so sad. I was watching King of the Hill earlier and started crying when LuAnne was speaking!

TBH this is the saddest thing about her dying...i watched every ep. of that show & she was fantastic & consistently hilarious in every single one. LuAnn...you will be missed, sweetiepie
