Re: Brittany Murphy dead at 32
Damn. If I can put out a few movies by 39 and shag someone as hot a Brittany Murphy, I'll die a happy guy.
Recreational drug use, seizures, prior heart attack, obesity. None of those things sound very good for a guy who just had his wife die prematurely.

Re: Brittany Murphy dead at 32
Nobody read the damn articles. 

A new laboratory report ordered by the father of late actress Brittany Murphy reveals that Murphy and her husband may not have died of natural causes, TheWrap reports.
Murphy's father, Angelo Bertolotti, didn't accept the Los Angeles County Coroner's Office conclusion that the Clueless star and her husband, Simon Monjack, died of natural causes — pneumonia and anemia — five months apart. Bertolotti sued to get access to her hair samples and hired a private lab, the Carlson Company, to look for signs of poisoning.
The lab found evidence that she was poisoned — likely by a "third party perpetrator with likely criminal intent," according to a report authorized by the Carlson Company's general manager, Denny Seilheimer. "It's a bona fide report," Seilheimer told the website. "It was our client's prerogative to release the report. That's all I can tell you."
Ed Winter, the spokesman for the Los Angeles County Coroner's Office, said they have no comment on the new report. "Our report stands as of now," he told TheWrap. LAPD spokesman Officer Cleon Joseph said it would be up to the coroner's office whether to take further action.
Murphy died on Dec. 20, 2009 after collapsing in a bathroom at her Los Angeles home and going into cardiac arrest on the way to the hospital. Two months later, the coroner determined the primary cause of death was pneumonia, but said multiple drug intoxication was also a secondary factor. She had elevated levels hydrocodone, acetaminophen, L-methamphetamine and chlorpheniramine — all legal drugs — in her system when she died. Her widower, Monjack, was found dead at the same home on May 23, 2010. Although his cause of death was also listed as pneumonia, her mother, Sharon Murphy, later blamed toxic mold in their home as the cause.

Yes but who remembers the whole "Elvis is alive" conspiracy theory afterwards? This wasn't just the National Enquirer. There was a book and two TV specials devoted to the theory that Elvis faked his own death in order to kick the drugs and get out of the spotlight.
The one question that was raised I learned from watching 5 seasons of Castle. If someone murdered her, what was the motive and who had opportunity? Really, Brittany Murphy and her husband? Courteny Stoddens I would understand.

All bullshit. He had a double for concerts he didn't want to perform. Unfortunately the double died of a heart attack before they switched back and, after a brief stint in a coma due to a head injury, the real Elvis was put in a resthome where one of the residents was a black man who genuinely believed he was JFK.

I for one, am shocked, SHOCKED, that a lab hired by a family member came to the conclusion that the family member wanted to hear.

Or the husband broke into an old stash of drugs which contained the poison ...
I was really hoping there would be an update and she would no longer be dead.
