Brittany Murphy died from pneumonia, though prescription drugs and anemia were also factors in her death, according to reports. Murphy, who had roles in Clueless, Girl, Interrupted, 8 Mile, Just Married, and Sin City, died Dec. 20 at age 32 after collapsing in her Hollywood Hills home.
As per the coroner’s report, the cause of death was accidental and could probably have been prevented had she gone to see a doctor; Murphy had a scheduled appointment with a physician a few days after her death. Although the actress took several prescription drugs, including anti-seizure medication, there was no evidence of wrongdoing.
The Atlanta-born actress was married to screenwriter Simon Monjack. She has two upcoming films: Darin Scott‘s Something Wicked, with James Patrick Stuart, and Michael Feifer‘s Abandoned, with Dean Cain, Mimi Rogers, and Peter Bogdanovich.
