It seems to me that dying of a heart attack at 32 should not be natural

She had Type 2 diabetes and a thyroid condition, so maybe that helps explain it.

There is also reports that she was being treated for some type of bug and may have overdosed on prescription meds. I also would not be surprised if it is determined she suffered from anorexia which could cause heart failure.

It is sad to hear of some one dying so young, I liked her in the film 8 mile.

Regardless of how she dies, it is very sad because Britanny Murphy was a nice person to her fans in person.

I still associate Brittany with the movie "Clueless", which I probably watched 100 times when I was a teen!

Her death has been ruled an accident. The main cause was given as pneumonia, with anaemia and prescription drugs also contributing. Sad waste.

I hate to admit it, but I had never heard of Brittany Murphy until she died.

Shocking news, part 2...

The husband of Brittany Murphy was found dead at his Los Angeles home late Sunday, five months after the Hollywood actress died, police said.

Firefighters responding to an emergency call found British screenwriter Simon Monjack dead at the Hollywood Hills residence, police spokesman Sgt. Louie Lozano said.

The preliminary cause of the 39-year-old Monjack's death is natural causes, he told The Associated Press.

"We concluded there no signs of foul play or any criminal activity involved," said Sgt. Alex Ortiz, another police spokesman.

Ortiz said that the Los Angeles Coroner's Office was taking over the investigation because criminal activity had been ruled out, and would provide more details later on the death and circumstances surrounding it.

Firefighters rushed to the home after receiving a call from a female occupant at 9:40 p.m. Sunday, but Ortiz said he didn't know who then name of the caller.

At his wife's funeral in December, a visibly emotional Monjack talked about their relationship and called her his best friend and soul mate. The two married in 2007.

I would appreciate someone explaining how people this young die of "natural causes".

Do their hearts break due to loss and that is the cause?

How sad :-( It's pure speculation trying to guess why he died. Young people do die unexpectedly of natural causes though. It could have been an aneurysm rupture in his brain or another type of vascular malformation in his brain that was previously unknown or another type of blood vessel problem. I recall a teenager presenting to hospital with back pain many years ago. He was certainly very young for it to happen but he had an abdominal aortic aneurysm. There's just three things it could have been and there are others. Who was the woman who rang 911? Surely they can't rule out suicide until he's had an autopsy. Anyway you look at it, it's very, very sad to see someone so young pass away.

I heard about Brittany's husband being found dead at their home this morning, still no cause of death. She was way too young to pass also, a crying shame.

I know grief can make you more easily susceptible to illness after the death of a loved one. All your defenses are down then, literally and figuratively. Perhaps Mr. Monjack was already sick, and the loss of his wife exacerbated the malady.

What a tragedy, whatever the cause.
