This is unbelievable to be writing but actress Brittany Murphy has died at the age of 32.   TMZ is reporting that she went into full cardiac arrest and could not be revived.

The Los Angeles City Fire Department received a call to the home she shares with Simon Monjack and she was then taken to Cedars-Sinai Medical Centre where she was pronounced dead on arrival.

Our sincerest condolences to her family on this very untimely loss.

This story is still developing.

Update

It is being reported that her mother found her unconscious in the shower.  That is beyond tragic.   At the time the paramedics arrived she was in full Cardiac arrest and they immediately started administering CPR.

The coroner will pick up the body today and start an investigation as will the LAPD.

A rep for Brittany’s family has issued  a statement:

“In this time of sadness, the family thanks you for your love and support. It is their wish that you respect their privacy.”

Ashton Kutcher, who dated Brittany in 2004 after they worked together on Just Married took to Twitter to give his condolences:

2day the world lost a little piece of sunshine. My deepest condolences go out 2 Brittany’s family, her husband, & her amazing mother Sharon.

see you on the other side kid

Update:

There is another statement issued by the family through a rep:

“The sudden loss of our beloved Brittany is a terrible tragedy. She was our daughter, our wife, our love and a shining star. We ask you to respect our privacy at this time.”

TMZ is also reporting that Brittany was sick and vomiting the morning she died with ‘flu-like’ symptoms that she was taking prescriptions for.  A source tells TMZ that there were ‘a lot’ of prescriptions in the house for Brittany, her husband and her mother.  Brittany also had Type 2 Diabetes.

Her husband, Simon Monjack initially told Cedars Sinai he did not want an autopsy done, but the LAPD and Coroner’s office want differently.  Odd that he didn’t want one, and, in my opinion, makes himself look suspicious.  Why wouldn’t he want to know what killed his wife?

Brittany was found in the shower with a significant amount of vomit in the immediate area according to TMZ.  That is so sad.  This whole thing is so unbelievable.  Too young.  Much too young.
