Brittany Murphy Dead At 32

Wow! What a year this has been!! The countdown to the end of the year has begun and we are still saying goodbye to celebrities that have impacted our lives one way or another. Brittany Murphy was found unconscious by her mother in her LA home early Sunday morning and despite repeated attempts to resuscitate her, she died of cardiac arrest at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center. Her time of death has been listed as 10:04 am. Its hard to understand how Murphy, who is best known for her performances in such films as Clueless, Girl, Interrupted and Sin City to name a few could die so suddenly at the young age of 32. But I guess answers will be provided once the autopsy results are revealed - that is if the autopsy ever happens. Word on the street is that Murphy's husband, film director Simon Monjack, who coincidently enough suffered a medical emergency a few weeks ago that resulted in him being raced to the hospital as soon as he and his wife landed at LAX, is against the idea of having an autopsy performed on his deceased wife. Its all very sad and confusing. It brings back the same emotions that raged in my head once news of Heath Ledger's death hit the airwaves. I guess its a reminder that living life in the fast lane can prove to be a little too fast...
