What killed Brittany Murphy?
A final report was released today as to what killed actress Brittany Murphy on December 20th, 2009.
The primary cause of the death was community acquired pneumonia, with contributing factors of iron deficiency anemia and “multiple drug intoxication,” according to the Los Angeles County coroner’s office.
The death was ruled accidental.
Coroner’s spokesman Craig Harvey declined to specify what types of drugs were involved in Murphy’s death but said they were all prescription medications.
The 32-year-old was married to super sketch “screenwriter” Simon Monjack who says his wife never abused of prescription medications. People close to the case tell TMZ her death could have been avoided.
Sources say the primary causes of Murphy’s death were pneumonia and severe anemia. L.A. County Coroner officials believe Brittany’s condition was “treatable” but no one took her to the hospital in time.
In other words, Brittany was really sick, didn’t get treatment and by self-medicating it pushed her over the line.
Such a sad way for such a young woman to die. RIP.
