Brittany Murphy 1977 - 2009

Actress Brittany Murphy (32) died this morning from a reported cardiac arrest.

Reports stated that the Clueless actress was discovered unconscious in the shower by her mother. When paramedics arrived, they determined that the actress was in full cardiac arrest and they began to administer CPR. They continued their CPR attempts during the ambulance trip to the hospital, but Murphy was unresponsive and was pronounced dead on arrival.

Murphy had her first role (albeit a small one) way back in 1991 on the popular TV show Murphy Brown and went on to star in movies such as Sin City, Girl, Interrupted, 8 Mile and Don’t Say a Word and has five films in post-production set for release in 2010.

    I found this news so shocking, I really wonder what the cause was. She was so talented, particularly looking at the list there you realise how many great roles she played. Not only that but she seemed like a nice, funny, down to earth girl

    Me too - so many young stars sying far too early in the last year or two. Brittany always struck me as a little off, funny and talented but not the most stable person on the planet.
