Actress Brittany
Murphy died early this morning after she went into
cardiac arrest and couldn't be revived, reports TMZ.
The Fire Department reportedly received a call at 8:00AM from the
home that belonged to her
husband, Simon Monjack.
She was discovered unconscious in the shower at around 8am by her
mother. They immediately took her to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center
where they pronounced her dead upon arrival. She was announced dead
at 10:04AM.
According to her mother Sharon, Brittany was diabetic, but it's yet
to be determined if diabetes contributed to her death.
"In this time of sadness, the family thanks you for your love and
support. It is their wish that you respect their privacy,"
Brittany's rep Nicole Perna said in a statement to
Hollyscoop.
Los Angeles' county coroner also confirmed: "We do have a
preliminary death report of a Brittany Murphy" coming from
Cedars-Sinai."
Shortly after her death, her ex boyfriend Ashton Kutcher paid tribute to her via
his Twitter page. He tweeted: "2day the world lost a little piece
of sunshine. My deepest condolences go out 2 Brittany's family, her
husband, and her amazing mother Sharon. See you on the other side
kid. (sic)"
She was only 32 years old. Murphy stared in such films as "Clueless
" and "Sin City" and "8 Mile." She will appear in Sylvester
Stallone’s new film, “The Expendables,” set for release next
year.
In May of 2007, she married her White Hotel director, Simon Monjack
and when asked about her New Years resolutions, she recently said,
I’d love to have a child next year." Unfortunately, her life was
cut short as she was pronounced dead at 32 this morning.
