Brittany Murphy Los Angeles, Dec 23 (THAINDIAN NEWS) Brittany Murphy’s death was due to the effects of a cardiac arrest. But what triggered off the cardiac arrest is under speculated, some are of the opinion that she probably died due to drugs overdose while others say that the death was due to natural causes, whereas the third group says that she died because she was already ill earlier, with ‘flu-like’ symptoms.

TMZ got hold of the leaked autopsy documents, which have the relevant information on what drugs the 32-year-old actress Brittany had been taking. They included Topamax (anti-seizure meds that also prevent migraines), Methylprednisolone (anti-inflammatory), Fluoxetine (for depression), Klonopin and Ativan (anxiety), Carbamazepine (treats diabetic symptoms and is also a bipolar med), Vicoprofen and Hydrocodone (pain relievers), Propranolol (hypertension, used to prevent heart attacks) and Biaxin (antibiotic).

It may be recalled that actress Brittany Murphy has died an untimely death at just 32. It is being said that she suffered a cardiac arrest, which led to her death. But at the same time drug overdose cannot be ruled out as well. TMZ reported that her husband Simon Monjack called the Los Angeles police on Sunday Morning around 8:00 am. The 1977 born Brittany Murphy had suffered a cardiac arrest and despite numerous attempts she couldn’t be revived. She was subsequently transferred to the Cedars-Sinai Medical Centre, but it transpired that she was brought to the hospital too late, because the doctors pronounced her dead on arrival.

    Biaxin. It’s linked to heart failure and liver failure. She died from a stupid anti-bacterial prescription. Sad.
