Los Angeles, Dec 23 (THAINDIAN NEWS) The 32 year old star Brittany Murphy who died on Sunday, possibly due to the effects of cardiac arrest, has had her autopsy done. And experts are of the opinion that she might have had died to due to drugs overdose too.
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).
In an interview on CBS‘ The Early Show, forensic pathologist Dr. Cyril Wecht told Maggie Rodriguez he is convinced drugs were the culprit. ‘One [that she took] was involved with Michael Jackson, Ativan. One of them was a drug that was involved with Anna Nicole Smith, Klonopin.” However Dr. Cyril did clarify that in the course of the autopsy if the doctors/pathologists had found something very dramatic and high-profile then of course that information would have had been relayed to the media by now and been public knowledge.
