Brittany Murphy Death an Accident

Coroner blames pneumonia and drugs.

Community-acquired pneumonia, "multiple drug intoxication," and iron deficiency killed Brittany Murphy, according to the Los Angeles coroner's office. The coroner’s spokesman declined to specify what types of drugs were involved in the Clueless and 8 Mile star's body but said they were all prescription meds. The death was ruled accidental. Her husband, Simon Monjack, told the Associated Press last month that his wife did take several prescriptions, including an anti-seizure drug, but did not abuse the medications. He said she had been taking over-the-counter Robitussin for her ailment. A memorial for a foundation in Brittany Murphy's name that had been planned for Thursday was abruptly canceled, with no explanation.
