Brittany Murphy’s Death Was Preventable

Brittany Murphy

The final autopsy report has concluded that the cause of death for actress Brittany Murphy were pneumonia and severe anemia. The L.A. County Coroners office found prescription medications in her system including a medicine for her severe cramps, and other over-the-counter medicines including cough syrup.

It is believed that her death could have been prevented had she been taken to the hospital to be treated.

Husband Simon Monjack appeared on the Today Show on January 21 along with Murphy’s mother to clear the air about speculation behind her sudden death.  A drug overdose and her too thin appearance kept driving the media’s assumptions of her untimely death.  While on the show Monjack told Matt Lauer about how she got severe cramps from her menstrual cycle and the medication she sometimes took to deal with the pain.  Her mother also appeared on the show with Monjack and had said that Brittany had been sick, and made sure that everyone knew Murphy did not and would not take drugs because of a heart condition she battled from childhood.

Monjack seemed visibly agitated with the way Brittany had been treated by Hollywood and especially Warner Bros. after Murphy was fired from her reprised role as Gloria the penguin, in the Happy Feet sequel.  Monjack has since filed a wrongful death lawsuit against Warner Bros. claiming the reason for her death was their letting her go.  Monjack and Murphy’s mother say that Hollywood has been terrible to her for years and that “they” made up rumors about Brittany including drug use, bulimia and anorexia.  They claim it was these very rumors that probably got her fired from Warner Bros.

This is not the first time Monjack has tried to gain some monetary compensation for Brittany’s death…..Simon Monjack Uses Brittany Murphy’s Death to Con People
