She hasn't looked healthy in quite a few years. I remember she used to get some of the negative attention over her looks which Lindsay Lohan took over.

She was so good in Clueless, and also great fun. I'm sorry to hear this. I'm not as surprised as I wish I could be.

Very good actress and I'm sorry she's gone.

I wanted to say sorry, I didn't mean to sound callous. I really will miss her, she was such a talent, and she lit up the screen, she was a very underrated comedienne.

Oh, no, Carl! The :o wasn't aimed at you! It was at someone so young dying... :(

The first movie I ever saw her in was Clueless. She was great in that movie.

This is so heartbreaking and the week of Christmas makes it even more heartbreaking than it already is :(

I didn't think you were responding to me, I just reread my comment and I didn't mean to sound so crass, since she's just passed away.

I saw "Love and Disasters" and enjoyed her in that movie. She has good comedic timing. I saw a recent picture, she looked emaciated.

Goto TMZ for all the details. Now her husband doesn't want an autopsy performed. Definitely odd. Wouldn't you want to know why your 32 year old wife died? He's always seemed like a total creep. I don't remember hearing all these drug rumors before she married him. Her career was also doing much better. Just recently she was fired from a film and he was rumored to be causing trouble getting into fights, etc.

It's sad to see such a beautiful and natural actress go so soon. I'm sure this story will become even more sad the more details that surface.

RIP Brittany Murphy. :(

I couldn't believe when I read the news, either. Dead? At 32? It's a shock to the system, that's for sure. My prayers are with her loved ones.

Murphy Sick and Vomiting Just Before She Died

Posted Dec 21st 2009 12:02AM by TMZ Staff

Brittany MurphyBrittany Murphy was very ill in the hours before she went into cardiac arrest and died, sources tell TMZ.

We're told Murphy was taking prescription meds for flu-like symptoms she had been experiencing for several days. We're told Murphy began vomiting early Sunday morning and told family members she was feeling very ill.

Sources say various prescriptions were found in the home -- written for Brittany Murphy, husband Simon Monjack, and Brittany's mom. One source says, "There were a lot ... a lot of prescriptions in the house."

Law enforcement sources tell us Murphy collapsed in the bathroom and somehow ended up in the shower ... there was, we're told, a significant amount of vomit in the immediate area.

We're also told authorities did not find illegal drugs in the house, but Murphy was definitely taking various prescription meds.

Sources say her condition and the meds could have triggered a heart attack, but it's too early to know. An autopsy will be performed Monday or Tuesday. We reported earlier Monjack did not want an autopsy but ultimately it's the Coroner's call.

Brittany MurphyAs we first reported, Brittany Murphy's mother told paramedics her daughter suffered from diabetes. We're told it was type 2 diabetes and people involved in the case doubt her condition caused her death.
