Brittany Murphy: Died from drug intoxication and pneumonia

Brittany Murphy died from multiple drug intoxication, pneumonia and "iron deficiency anemia" that led to an accidental death. A famous news magazine has brought out this news.

Chief coroner investigator Craig Harvey specified that pneumonia was the primary cause of death, with drugs and anemia as causal factors.

Simon and Sharon said that they believed Brittany's death was due to a congenital heart murmur and denied rumors that the actress used illegal drugs or suffered from an eating disorder. They added that heart condition of Murphy was diagnosed in her teens, but she had received proper treatment for it. They also said that she had been suffering from laryngitis and flu-like symptoms in the days before her death.

A number of prescribed medicines were reportedly found by the investigators on her nightstand. Simon says that his wife was taking the painkiller Vicoprofen and the antidepressant Fluoxetine to deal with severe menstrual cramps. Also several other medicines were found that she used due to a seizure that she had recently suffered from.

The actress was laid to rest in a twilight ceremony in Los Angeles on Christmas Eve.

A full autopsy report is expected within two weeks.
