Brittany Murphy dies much too young!

[Bluestone]

I'm sad to have to report the untimely death of Brittany Murphy at the age of 32. She broke into the entertainment business as the star of "Clueless" then became even more well known in "8 Mile"! This beautiful actress will be sorely missed

Does anyone know the what may have caused her heart attack yet?

She seemed very thin

[leone]

She's well known to have had issues with coke.

[smudger]

Yes, "heart failure" covers a lot of ground. Maybe anorexia, maybe drugs, who knows. Tragic whatever the true cause. No-one should die at that age.

[tOkie]

Tragic as it well may be:

eating disorders, rampant elective surgery, drugs, alcohol, money, fame, stardom...

somewhen along the way, there has to be a line drawn that will no longer be crossed.



I give you, for your approval:



Janis Joplin

Hank Williams Sr.

River Phoenix

Heath Ledger

Kurt Cobain

John Candy

Jim Morrison

Terry Kath

Karen Carpenter

John Belushi





I can continue this for quite some time, for my dis-approval





My point is:

Excess is just that...excess. There are those who can NOT remind themselves when to STOP!

it's sad to hear that someone so young has passed away.

It is a shame that someone so young dies of heart failure. It is even more heart rendering, if she died as a result of coke, anorexia or some other affliction that might have been prevented by someone who cared for her.
