Brittany Murphy was sick prior to her death Sunday morning; lots of prescription meds found at the home...

Lovely photo.

It's being reported that Brittany Murphy was not feeling well early this morning. We're also hearing reports that her husband, Simon Monjack did not want an autopsy performed by the Los Angeles Coroner. I find that odd. Wouldn't you think he'd want to know what caused his young wife's death? I hate to say it's a bit of a red flag, but I just reallly think it's a very strange thing to request. I doubt that the authorities will honor his weird request, given the fact that there is now an "investigation" into Brittany's death.

 
via TMZ.com and ONTD:

We're told Murphy was taking prescription meds for flu-like symptoms she had been experiencing for several days. We're told Murphy began vomiting early Sunday morning and told family members she was feeling very ill.

Sources say various prescriptions were found in the home -- written for Brittany Murphy, husband Simon Monjack, and Brittany's mom. One source says, "There were a lot ... a lot of prescriptions in the house."

Law enforcement sources tell us Murphy collapsed in the bathroom and somehow ended up in the shower ... there was, we're told, a significant amount of vomit in the immediate area.

We're also told authorities did not find illegal drugs in the house, but Murphy was definitely taking various prescription meds.

Sources say her condition and the meds could have triggered a heart attack, but it's too early to know. An autopsy will be performed Monday or Tuesday. We reported earlier Monjack did not want an autopsy but ultimately it's the Coroner's call.

As we first reported, Brittany Murphy's mother told paramedics her daughter suffered from diabetes. We're told it was type 2 diabetes and people involved in the case doubt her condition caused her death."

I'm very curious to find out the types of meds Brittany was taking...of all sorts. This really is a sad Hollywood story. It's a sad story no matter what, actually.

Latest Update on Brittany Murphy's Untimely Death.

Recent photo of Brittany Murphy looking awfully thin.

I really don't enjoy just reporting what other sites are posting, but the following update seems to really cover the most up-to-date information about the sad and untimely death of actress, Brittany Murphy.

"With sudden news of Brittany Murphy’s death after a 911 call was placed from her home in L.A. early Sunday morning, Hollywoodlife.com reveals how her husband reacted to the tragedy and what went on inside their private house hours after her passing.



Simon Monjack, Murphy’s husband since 2007, was seen pacing back and forth in front of their home after coming back from the hospital where his wife was pronounced dead at 10:04 AM according to Hollywoodlife.com.

The shaken screenwriter was spotted by a witness at the scene crying and screaming while on the phone that afternoon accompanied by a bodyguard, family, and the county coroner at the house, Hollywoodlife.com reports.

Sharon, Brittany’s mother, who found her unconscious and called the paramedics, remained at the hospital until later in the afternoon, where her daughter’s body still remains.

Hollywoodlife.com also spoke with neighbors at the scene while Brittany was being wheeled out to the ambulance on a stretcher.

Claire Staples, who lives nearby, tells Hollywoodlife.com that, “It was obvious she was already gone by the time they brought her down from the house.”

Although paramedics, who arrived at the West Hollywood residence at 8:30 AM, were attempting to give the actress CPR by, “sticking tubes down her throat,” Staples claims that Brittany already, “looked yellow.”
And while the medical team tried to revive Brittany, a very shaken Simon stayed away from the body, still in his pajamas from the night before, Hollywoodlife.com reports.

As for now, Assistant Chief Ed Winter of the L.A. Count Coroner’s office tells Hollywoodlife.com that he was present at Murphy’s house in the afternoon for a, “general investigation,” into her death."

I need to reiterate the issue of drugs and weight-loss in women. I've fucking been there. To hear that Brittany was found in the shower is totally not shocking. Taking a shower is one of the most difficult chores for someone who is dangerously underweight. I needed a chair when I was in Casa Palmera in order to take a shower...and even then, I couldn't do it every single day. When I got home, Stephen had to stand next to the shower to makes sure I didn't collapse. Add the possibility of drugs in Brittany's system (which has not been determined, only rumored about), it's a lethal combination.

Nice, huh? 

Another photo of your's truly in 2008.

This whole situation makes me sad and angry. At Hollywood. At society. At what we do to ourselves in search of PERFECTION and to TRY TO MAKE OUR DEMONS DISAPPEAR.  

Brittany, I hope you find peace now, but I just don't know what happens now.


Fuck.

Oh, God. Four Pierce County police officers were shot and killed this morning, "execution-style" in a Lakewood coffee shop. It's being reported that three officers were male and one was female. The officers were doing computer-work at The Cafe Forza Coffee Shop when they were ambushed and killed.

via SeattleWeekly.com

"Four so-far unidentified police officers were shot dead in a Parkland/Lakewood area coffee shop this morning, according to the Pierce County sheriff's office. Spokesperson Ed Troyer was not yet able to say which police agency the four were from, though it may be Lakewood.

"It was just a flat out ambush," Troyer said. "It appears they were doing paperwork and getting ready for their shift to start. The four of them are known by everybody here..." he said, referring to officers investigating the deaths. He asked for the public's help to identify the single suspect, who walked into the Forza Coffee shop at 11401 on South Steele Street near Parkland Sunday morning. "We have nothing to link this to the Seattle shooting," Troyer added at a press briefing, speaking about the recent Halloween night ambush killing of SPD Officer Tim Brenton."

A specific tip-line for this case has been set up at 866-977-2362.

The suspect is described to be a black male,  5'7" - 6', wearing a black coat, blue jeans. 

The suspect is still on the loose and is armed and extremely dangerous. 


Our prayers are with the officers' families. This is a horrific tragedy.
