Brittany Murphy SNL SkitDec 22, (THAINDIAN NEWS) As the entire Hollywood fraternity is grappling to come to terms with the sudden death of actress Brittany Murphy, a “Saturday Night Live” skit that was available in many online portals has been removed. The skit which went on air on December 5, showcased SNL cast member Abby Elliott playing Brittany Murphy and was part of the segment “Weekend Update.” However, SNL representatives have not been available for comments about the disappearance of the skit from the various online portals.

The entire skit was based on the sudden exit of the 32 year old actress from the upcoming movie “The Caller.” The skit with its satirical content, seemed funny at that point as the actress had been away from limelight for quite some time. Although, when the skit was aired few weeks ago, it was considered to be immensely humorous, following the news of the much acclaimed actress’ sudden death, it could not be enjoyed by the audiences any more. Soon after the skit was aired, it was available in a number of websites but owing to the untimely death of the actress, it has disappeared from almost every online portal. After Brittany Murphy’s death, the sketch had led to the controversy about whether the deceased actress should actually be featured in a skit where she is being mocked.

The “Uptown Girls” star passed away on Sunday after supposedly suffering from a heart attack. Authorities have revealed that the death resulted from natural causes, although investigators are waiting for the toxicology report and would be able to confirm the cause of the death only then.
