Brittany Murphy died

[NatashaDisneyCM]

I always loved her to! by looking at recent pictures of her, she is way to skinny! I always loved to watch her in Sister, Sister, 8 mile, Clueless Girl interrupted!
I hate hearing this stuff!

tmz is reporting she had been suffering from flu like symptoms for several days and was taking perscription meds to treat them.

if that's the case she could have suffered the same fate as 2 friends of mine did. one was in her late 20's another in her late 30's, they both had been experiencing flu like symptoms for a week or so and had been treated by their doctors as recently as within the individual weeks they passed. ultimatly autopsies determined in both cases the underlying cause was a deadly strain of strep that damaged their hearts such that they suffered full cardiac arrest

 

[Art 1]

Don't know why but I never heard of her before this.

That would also be her family's perogative, no? And yes, there were prior posts that thought it sounded "suspicious" that he didn't want an autopsy.

It would be, indeed. But since the autopsy can be done with minimal invasion, why refuse right from the start? I agree with the PP, should the love of my life had died suddenly at such a young age, I would want to know why. And apparently, there is a way to do that without disrespecting his beliefs, as rie'smom states below.

I didn't mean he did anything to her. My thought is her death was from drug use. If they find that to be the case, they may take a hard look at ther husband's possible drug use.

BTW, in a police investigation, a Jewish family may request that a rabbi be present but the autopsy will happen.

I'll choose to believe that probably he doesn't know that, or that he is so overwhelmed with grief and cannot think clearly. But it does seem a bit odd to allegedly flat out refuse the autopsy.

I have heard rumors that she had diabetes. Apparently her mom said she did, but it has not been confirmed.

It could possibly be the reason. There is an eating disorder among people with Type 1 diabetes known as diabulimia. Diabulimia is when people with Type 1 purposefully do not take their insulin, or do not take the right amount, in order to lose weight. It is extremely dangers as blood sugar that is too high (and if you are losing weight due to high blood sugar it is too high) leads to a condition known as diabeticketoacidosis (DKA) in which the body starts attacking itself for fuel because it is not getting any fuel from the glucose in the blood. The blood literally becomes acidic and if left untreated it can be fatal. Plus, high blood sugar damages a lot of internal organs and women in particular are at a much higher risk of heart disease. I'm not saying this is the case (I'm not even for sure that she did have diabetes), but it is a possibility of those reports are accurate.

I had never heard of diabulimia. You learn something new everyday. I hope this was not the case. Every time something is added to the speculation it gets sadder and sadder - from drugs to ED to this...I don't know what's worse.

I hope she found peace. It is amazing just how consuming the entertainment industry is- things like this serve as a reminder, I guess.

I know someone who had the flu (H1N1) and it attacked her heart muscle as well. Her heart is now permanetly damaged due to enlargement. She is in her 40's and did make it.

so sad

 

[OceanAnnie]

I'm sorry to hear about her passing. It was startling. She was young and appeared healthy but thin. I saw on the news this morning a clip of her saying her wish for next year was to have a child.

That is so sad. What could have been

 

[xoprincessmomxo]

So sad. She did make an amazing (not in a good way) transformation from how she looked in Clueless and Girl Interuppted to what she looked like in her following movies. Even the director from Clueless mentioned that in an article on MSN. I can't help but think an eating disorder and prescription meds were to blame. Still, such a sad situation for such a young lady.

 

[Skywalker]

I am still trying to figure out who she is, but I think I remember a quote from her when Ashton Kutcher broke up with her to date Demi Moore. It was one of his girlfriend's anyway. The quote was something like, "Obviously he doesn't care about age, and she doesn't care about size."

I always thought that was hilarious, and obviously taken in fun since there seemed to be no hard feelings.

Was that even her?

 

[Angelhalo]

I've read about that before. I wouldn't like to speculate as I think it's too soon and ultimately we can't really know. All the theories just fuel a media frenzy and I just hope her poor family gets some privacy to grieve.

I refuse to read Perez Hilton, I'm guessing he's having a field day with this.

I love Perez Hilton and from what I've seen on his site today and yesterday he hasn't had a field day with anything. Even whe someone passes whom he doesn't care about, he never speaks ill of the dead . I've seen him speculate, and I've seen him talk about people's drug issues etc but I've never seen him openly laugh or make light of anyone's death....of course I don't read Twitter so I am just going by wht I know from his site and his books.

This is a personal view on Perez: I find him petty and often misogynistic, he fawns over celebrities and just as easily he turns around and starts insulting them. I have a lot more to say but I don't think this thread is about him so I'll leave it at that.

Since I don't read his site, any info I have comes from other sites. From what I gathered he is insinuating the husband was somehow involved, rushed to suggest drug use/ED as cause of death and is giving advice on Twitter to Courtney Love and Lindsay Lohan that this could be their future-someone mentioned this last bit in this thread.

I could be wrong but that's what I have read so far.

This happened to my neighbor. He had strep and was being medicated for it. He stopped taking his medication because he felt better and the strep attacked his heart and he died.
