Did y'all hear Brittany Murphy died?!

So tragic.  32 years young of cardiac arrest.  

Re: Did y'all hear Brittany Murphy died?!

  • I heard.  I wonder if she maybe had an eating disorder that caused complications or something...she was skin and bones and just kept getting tinier.

  • It's possible.  From experience I know that eating disorders can do a number on your body.   So sad.
  • Geeez, so sad!  Life really is short isn't it?

    I was wondering this myself or if drugs were involved. Last article I read said her mom found her in the shower in cardiac arrest. Seem odd for a 32 year old. Very sad.

    Ditto to all of this.  She always seemed so erratic in her appearances over the past few years.  Very sad.

  • J told me... scary... She's our age.

    I assume drugs.  She has some issues.

  • I was thinking drugs/eating disorder as well. SO sad and scary.
  • Yeah, I was thinking drugs/eating disorder as well.  So sad.
  • Very sad... I liked her as an actress, but thought it odd they only think it's a cardiac arrest... sounds fishy to me!
  • I'm not going to speculate on c.o.d.  I understand many in Hollywood have drug addictions, eating disorders, etc.  It's still sad, too young. 
  • The latest says she had flu-like symptoms for a few days.

    This reminds me of my grandmother, who had flu-like symptoms before she passed.  Turned out to be PPH (primary pulmonary hypertension).  This causes the lungs to gradually stop working.  When the oxygen stops, the heart stops.  It seems like a heart attack, but they are unable to revive the person with paddles because it's actually the lungs that need the jump (or a replacement, really).  PPH is usually a childhood issue, but can happen to adults on rare occasions.

    Oh wow!  I hadn't heard that latest news.  I have heard of PPH before and actually know someone with it.  I cannot imagine.  I know I always think taking a shower when I am sick will make me feel better....she was probably trying to do the same and how awful that her Mom was the one to find her.

    I was thinking the same thing.

  • SOOO CRAZY!!  They are looking in to Foul Play in the case.  Homicide investigators were going to her house! Crazy Crazy!!

    Are they really!?!  I read that her husband was kinda sketchy but I didn't hear this news....
  • I think they have to do this whenever there are suspicious circumstances (young+cardiac arrest+ wealthy celeb).

    I heard that this happened in Britney Spears's old house.

    Where did you hear that? Everything I've read says there's no evidence of foul play...

    Really?  That's strange because I thought they said that it was her husbands house at first.

    Oh..yes..  I meant that the house used to belong to Britney Spears.

    I know whatcha meant.  But the way they first announced it made it sound like the house was just her husbands.....silly tabloids.

     My friend looked it up online yesterday and that's what was noted...today they are just reporting cardiac arrest...IDK what the real deal is or if we will ever know!
