Actress Brittany Murphy Dead at 32, Cardiac Arrest

According to TMZ, actress Brittany Murphy died today of cardiac arrest, she was 32-years-old.

A 911 call was made at 8:00 AM from a home in Los Angeles that is listed as belonging to her husband, Simon Monjack, the Los Angeles City Fire Department tells TMZ.

We’re told Murphy was taken to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center where she was pronounced dead on arrival.

Murphy starred in such films as “Clueless,” “8 Mile,” and “Don’t Say a Word.”

Sources tell TMZ Brittany Murphy’s mom discovered her unconscious in the shower. We’re told when paramedics arrived, they quickly determined Murphy was in full cardiac arrest and immediately administered CPR. They continued CPR in route to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center – several miles away — and Murphy was unresponsive. She was pronounced dead at the hospital. 

We’re told the LA County Coroner’s is picking up Murphy’s body from Cedars later today and will launch an investigation.

 

My thoughts and prayers are with her family. I loved her work in ‘Girl, Interrupted’,'Clueless’  and “8 Mile.”
