Los Angeles, Dec 20 (THAINDIAN NEWS) According to TMZ, 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. The cause of the cardiac arrest is not known, but at the same time drug overdose cannot be ruled out as well. TMZ had 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.

She started her singing career at the tender age of nine and her acting career at the age of 14. Apparently early success and the pressures of work and being a celebrity did get to her. It was reported that she started doing drugs early in her career and then Brittany Murphy was even accused of having an eating disorder which some believed was tied to a cocaine habit. However she denied the allegations, saying that, “Wow. No, just for the record I have never tried it in my entire life, I’ve never even seen it, and I don’t leave the house too much, except to go to work,” she said. “My worst vice is caffeine. [The rumor is] really pretty darn far-fetched — it couldn’t be further from the truth. I have known people over the course of my life that have bad problems with drugs, and it’s something really serious.”

The aspiring actress became a well-known name in 1995 when she starred in “Clueless”. Some years ago, she released the single “Faster Kill Pussycat,” which became a huge dance club hit. Her last big movie was “Sin City” in which was released in 2005.

Brittany Murphy was born on November 10, 1977. She is an American actress and recording artist. She has acted in movies like Just Married, Clueless, Girl, Interrupted, 8 Mile, Sin City, The Dead Girl, Uptown Girls, Riding in Cars with Boys and Spun. She was born in Atlanta and unfortunately her parents did not get along and they divorced when she was just 2 years old. She was then raised by her mother in Edison.
