According to Brittany Murphy’s mother and husband on the “Today” show, Brittany Murphy’s death is being ruled as natural causes. When they were asked if she used drugs, either prescription or recreational, they firmly denied there even being a chance! Her mother stated that Brittany was diagnosed with a heart murmur as a young teenager, which made Brittany have a very big fear of dying because of it.

There were many different kinds of prescription drugs found in Simon Monjack and Brittany Murphy’s house. Simon is openly saying that these drugs were his, since he suffers from many different kinds of illnesses including seizures.

During the interview Simon also had quite a few things to say about the rumors that Brittany Murphy was fired from a movie right before her death. He said that it was a mutual decision for her to leave the film. Brittany Murphy’s husband definitely seemed as though he feels there is someone to blame for his wife’s young death. He says that he believes that Hollywood broke her down and put her into a bad spot because they kept crushing her dreams.

Both Brittany’s mother and husband said that Brittany also refused to drink even caffeine because of her heart murmur. I too have a heart murmur and I can easily agree that anyone who cares about their health at all will avoid alcohol, drugs, and caffeine when you have a heart murmur. It is very scary to think that she was very careful and followed the rules of what to avoid and still died of natural causes at such a young age!

As I am sure many of you have heard by now Brittany Murphy passed away today. As reported by TMZ this morning there was a 911 call placed from her home at 8:00 AM. Her mother found her unresponsive in the shower. When paramedics arrived they did attempt CPR, and continued to attempt CPR all the way to the hospital. She was pronounced dead at 10:04 AM at the hospital. It is said that she died from Cardiac Arrest, but there is an investigation into her death by LAPD. It was reported also that when Murphy’s mother called 911 she told them that her daughter has been battling with diabetes but it has not been confirmed if that is true, or if it played any role in her death.

While I was reading some of the many reports on her death I ran across an article from 21 days ago that Murphy’s husband Simon Monjack, a screenwriter and producer, was rushed to the hospital after his plane landed. According to AOL’s report of this incident EMT’s were very concerned by Monjack’s unresponsive behavior while Murphy thought that there was nothing to be concerned about. She believed that he was having an asthma attack, but they believed it was something more serious. It is also believed that Murphy and Monjack were coming back from Puerto Rico on this flight because she was fired from her film “The Calling” for being too big of a problem for production team.
