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.
