Late actress Brittany Murphy, who, as previously reported, passed away at the end of last year, died of pneumonia, according to a Los Angeles coroner. Spokesman Craig Harvey explained that iron-deficiency anaemia and "multiple drug intoxication" (all prescription drugs) were also factors in her death. Following her death on 20 Dec, Murphy's husband Simon Monjack and mother Sharon Murphy confirmed that the actress had been experiencing flu-like symptoms and had been taking over-the-counter remedies. Presumably they might not have been compatible with prescription drugs she was on, which included an anti-seizure drug, but I'm not a scientist, so that's purely conjecture. More details will be released in a couple of weeks time.
