Actress Brittany Murphy, known for her roles in films such as “Clueless” and “8 Mile,” died after suffering a cardiac arrest at her home, police and hospital officials said. She was 32.
Murphy’s mother discovered the star slumped unconscious in a shower at her home in Los Angeles before her husband, British screenwriter Simon Monjack, called emergency services, entertainment website TMZ.com reported.
The actress was rushed to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Beverly Hills where she was confirmed dead at 10:04 am (1804 GMT), spokeswoman Sally Stewart said. No other information was released by the hospital.
Los Angeles Police Department officers were at Murphy’s home asking preliminary questions, police confirmed. Investigators later said foul play was not suspected in the death. …
News of Murphy’s death comes after a medical drama involving her husband Monjack last month, when an ambulance was called to a Los Angeles airport arrival gate as the couple returned from Puerto Rico.
On that occasion, it was the actress’s husband who was rushed to hospital. Reports said the couple had been returning to Los Angeles after Murphy was thrown off the set of a movie and fired for difficult behavior.
