The death of an award winning, American actress, Brittany Murphy has the world wondering was it due to natural causes or drug related? Death at age of 32, by natural causes, seems uncommon in a world that is so medically advanced. We all know and have read numerous times that fame comes with a number of overwhelming problems. Some of these problems include having to deal with the paparazzi, money, backstabbers who want your money, and the vast availability of drugs. Yes, drugs! We all know it is a little part of the industry that everyone wants to keep hush hush. Yet it is there. Unseen in most cases, but there.

The Details:
According to the English Wikipedia Encyclopedia, Murphy collapsed on the floor in her home in the Hollywood Hills at 8:00 a.m. on December 20, 2009. Murphy lived with her husband, Simon Monjack, who is a well known screenwriter. Murphy was pronounced dead on arrival at 10:04 a.m. after going into cardiac arrest at the Cedars-Sinai Medical Center. The assistant chief coroner Ed Winter then told the press that all signs pointed towards natural causes. It will be a few more days until an autopsy will be conducted and toxicology reports can be done. So until then, the world is left wandering was it truly death by natural causes or drug related?
