Last Sunday, Hollywood actress Brittany Murphy, died of an apparent heart attack at only 32 years old. Brittany is known for many roles over the last several years. She has had a long career in Hollywood in her relatively short life on earth. She was in Clueless, 8 Mile, Little Black Book, as well as many more, and perhaps is most famously known for the role of the voice of Luanne Platter on the popular TV series, “King of the Hill.”
Her husband, relatively unknown Simon Monjack is coming to her defense against claims of a drug overdose or an eating disorder caused the heart attack. Several reports mention prescription drugs throughout the house. According to Monjack, Brittany was not feeling well the Saturday before her death and stayed in bed treating laryngitis with herbal tea, ginger, and lemon. He says the herbal remedies would not speed up her heart, and insists it was not a drug overdose that caused her death. The full autopsy report will not be available for four to six weeks.
