Actress Brittany Murphy dead at 32

Very sad. I do hope the best for her family and friends.

Not a big fan of her movies, but I have to say that I loved Luanne on "King of the Hill". I always loved the shows that centered on her.

Rest in peace...

Brittany Murphy's cause of death has been determined

According to the article, she died of a mix of community acquired pneumonia (what does that mean exactly?), iron deficiency anemia, and multiple drug intoxication (medications taken for the iron deficiency anemia and to fight the pneumonia? or something else?)

Just thought everyone would like to know!

I'm still at the community acquired pneumonia. Either way it still sucks that she died so young. RIP Brittany.

I'm still at the community acquired pneumonia.

Basically, it means you didn't get it while in a hospital or health-care facility.

Ah! So she got it while doing ordinary everyday things.

I just read that article, its sad.

Medications for Iron deficiency anemia include IRON tabs. Thats usually it except for extreme cases. Also eating a well balanced diet helps. As far as Pneumonia, thats treated with antibiotics.

Im guessing she was on other stuff..they did mention antiseizure meds. Its sad. Sounds like her system was just overwhelmed and couldnt take it anymore.
