Did Brittany Murphy really die from natural causes? "At first, the coroner said Brittany died strictly of "natural causes" after suffering with pneumonia and anemia. But months later, the final report (which included toxicology tests) concluded that Brittany had stopped breathing due to the combined effects of pneumonia, anemia and—a very noteworthy addition—prescription and over-the-counter drugs, including the prescription painkiller hydrocodone and pain reliever-fever reducer acetaminophen."(Erin Lim- E News 1). In her autopsy, they’ve discovered pharmaceutical drugs and other toxins in her body. Could Brittany Murphy could have been possibly poisoned? "Brittany's father took it upon himself to get a court order for his daughter's hair samples to be further analyzed. Surprisingly, high levels of 10 potentially toxic metals such as barium which is often found in rat poison were discovered in the samples" (1). Another speculation about Brittany Murphy's is that the mold found in her house could be the reason for her death. "Although no evidence of the effects of a mold infection was found in Brittany's body by the coroner, the results of any environmental reviews of the 10,000-square-foot property have never been made public"(1).
The beautiful Brittany Murphy was born in Atlanta, Georgia on November 10, 1977. She was confident that she was going to be famous. Brittany's parents divorced when she was two years old, in the "Brittany Murphy Biography" sources say, "Murphy's father was heavily involved in organized crimes, and spent most of his life in and out of prison. As a result, Murphy's parents split when she was only two years old"("Brittany Murphy Biography 1). She took dance and voice classes when she was five years old till her early teens at Verne Fowler's School in New Jersey. She always wanted to be a star:
By the time Murphy was eight, she had determined that she wanted to be a star. She began pushing her mother to help her get head shots, hire a manager, and drive her into Manhattan for auditions. When Murphy was 12, her mother finally relented. Almost immediately, Murphy began landing jobs for television commercials. (1)
Brittany Murphy was sure of herself and knew she was going to be a successful actress.
When Brittany was fourteen years old in 1991 her and her mother moved to Los Angeles, California to further her career in acting. "She got her big break in TV that same year, as a regular on the Fox sitcom Drexell's Class (1991)"(1). When Brittany wasn’t working she was attending John Burroughs High School in Burbank, California.
Her first movie breakout was her role in the movie "Clueless." According to source "Brittany Murphy Biography," "In 1995, Murphy entered the national spotlight in the popular film Clueless, starring across Alicia Silverstone. A modern take on the popular Jane Austen novel, Emma, the movie was a surprise hit, grossing more than $11 million in its first weekend at the box office. Murphy was suddenly a star"("Brittany Murphy Biography"1). After her success in the movie "Clueless" she began starring in movies such as Girl, Interrupted, 8 mile, and Sin City. According to source IMDb, a unique trait that she has is an "infectious laugh(Biography). Brittany did act out she lost her spot on the movie "The Caller," "she had lost the job due to her poor attitude and spotty attendance on set"(1).
Brittany Murphy's Husband, Simon Monjack, died 5 months after she did due to the same illness, which is very uncommon. Source article "E! Investigates: 5 Reasons Brittany Murphy's Death Is Still a Mystery" "Simon Eerily Died Just Five Months After Brittany: Wecht says that though it is not "impossible" for two people to die of pneumonia while living in the same house within such a brief period, "It is pretty darned rare"(1). There were speculations about him having fraudulent charges. Article "E! Investigates: 5 reasons Brittnays Murohy's Death Is Still a Mystery" "Two warrants for his arrest in Virginia for alleged credit-card theft and fraud An unpaid $6,087 legal bill A $502,910 judgment against him by a British investment firm"(1). He went to Jail in 2007 and Murphy allegedly bailed him out. Many of her friends disliked her husband and warned her about him. According to NY Daily News article "Director: Brittany Murphy was warned about husband Simon Monjack but did not listen" "I spoke to two other movie producers who came into contact with him on a project in the last couple of years,’ the reporter told the Mail. "They described him as a “conman.” Neither had anything nice to say."
Weeks before her death, Brittany was a witness in the Julia Davis vs Homeland Security case. There is a documentary called "Top Priority: the Terror Within" which gives explicit detail about the entire case. Source article "Documentary Film "Top Priority: The Terror Within" "is a documentary film by Fleur De Lis Film Studios. It’s an incredible true story of Julia Davis, a national security whistleblower who was subjected to retaliation of unprecedented proportions by the Department of Homeland Security." Murphy was a key witness and gave a statement for the case:
Film and television star Brittany Murphy was named as a witness in Julia Davis’ litigation against the Department of Homeland Security. Brittany provided a rebuttal to the Agency’s misrepresentations, after certain statements were falsely attributed to her by the DHS in the course of investigating false claims made by the DHS personnel against Julia Davis. After Brittany Murphy provided a written statement in support of Julia Davis, she was targeted by the DHS/ICE. This included helicopter surveillance, wiretaps, an arrest in the middle of the night and an unsuccessful attempt to deport Brittany’s fiancée Simon Monjack, whom she later married.(1)
Conspiracy theory 1: It was the governments fault for Brittany Murphy's death. Brittany Murphy's father believed that Murphy was poisoned by the government. "Her father offered another theory in November 2013. He released the results of tests done on a sample of Murphy's hair that showed exposure to rat poison"(Brittany Murphy Biography 1). This theory does not work because there are no articles proving that there was a third party intruder to contribute to Brittany Murphy's death.
Conspiracy theory 2: It was the molds fault for Brittany Murphy's death. It wasn’t publicized that there was mold in Murphy's house. "After Simon and Brittany's deaths, Sharon filed a lawsuit in which she alleged she hadn't been informed about the possibility of toxic mold being present in her daughter's mansion, where Sharon resided with the couple" (E! Investigates: 5 Reasons Brittany Murphy's Death Is Still a Mystery 1). This theory does not work because there was no evidence of mold found in Brittany Murphy's body. "Although no evidence of the effects of a mold infection was found in Brittany's body by the coroner, the results of any environmental reviews of the 10,000-square-foot property have never been made public"(1).
There was a survey taken a College of The Mainland about Brittany Murphy's death. 2 specific questions were asked, Do you think Brittany Murphy's death was an accident? And is the government to blame for Brittany Murphy's death? 21 out of 21 students believed that Brittany Murphy's death was an accident. With the results, students believed that there wasn’t enough evidence to prove that the government poisoned Brittany Murphy.
On December 20, 2009, Brittany Murphy was pronounced dead. In the result of her death, she died from pneumonia mixed with over the counter drugs. There were speculations that Brittany Murphy had a drug addiction and eating disorder. "At the time of her passing, rumors circulated regarding possible drug use or an eating disorder contributed to her death"(1). Brittany's father believe that she was poisoned. According to source "E investigates: 5 reasons Brittany Murphy's Death is still a Mystery, "Further, the LAPD won't confirm or deny whether her father's claims of possible "rat poisoning" due to the presence of barium in Brittany's system have been investigated"(1).
Brittany Murphy was a talented young actress who was taken away from us to young. There are many theories surrounding Brittany Murphy's death to which some remain a mystery to this day. What we do know is that they did find rat poison in Brittany Murphy's body. At the end of the day theories are just theories if they don’t have any facts to back it up with.
