I opened my browser today and was just about to type in an address when the shocking headline on MSN caught my eye:

“L.A. Coroner: Brittany Murphy Dead at 32″

My first reaction was that this was some horrible joke. After reading the article, I still found it hard to believe. I had to Google it to find other articles regarding her death.

Brittany Murphy, who was born on 10 November 1977 in Atlanta, died on Sunday 20 December 2009, due to cardiac arrest. She was declared dead at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles. It is suspected that subscription drugs might have been responsible.

Brittany is one of my favourite actresses. I hate that she will no longer be making movies. I’m saddened at the news of her death and I’m sure many people are mourning her at the moment.
