Brittany Murphy Dead After Massive Heart Attack: Husband’s Mystery Trip to Hospital on November 29

Brittany Murphy, dead at age 32

**UPDATE**: News reports state Brittany’s mother discovered Brittany unconscious in the shower and that it was Brittany’s mother who called 911. We’ve also learned Brittany was diabetic and, that her husband asked that Brittany’s body not undergo an autopsy. Despite Simon Montjack’s request, an autopsy may be scheduled to be performed as early as tomorrow, while the LAPD is investigating the circumstances surrounding Brittany’s untimely death.

Our deepest condolences to Brittany’s family.

We’re shocked to hear to the news that Brittany Murphy was pronounced dead this morning at Los Angeles Cedars-Sinai Medical Center after what the media is claiming a “massive heart attack” suffered at her home. According to the New York Daily News, Brittany’s husband, Simon Monjack called 911 this morning at 8 am with Los Angeles Fire Department responding to the call where Brittany was in “full cardiac arrest”.

On November 29, Huffington Post reported Brittany’s husband was rushed to LAX Hospital after his plane landed at LAX. Brittany must have been on the flight as, according to the Post, Simon, 39, was “incoherent” when EMS personnel boarded the plane, and, that Brittany argued with the EMS over whether he should be taken to the hospital. The EMS disagreed.

From Right Celebrity:

British screenwriter, Simon Monjack was taken to the hospital yesterday afternoon following his flight from Puerto Rico to Los Angeles landed. He was reportedly incoherent when EMT’s arrived on board.

TMZ reports that his wife, Brittany Murphy, assumed he was suffering from an asthma attack, however, EMT’s revealed that it was a more serious condition.

There’s no info as to cause of Simon’s trip to the hospital or the cause of Brittany’s cardiac arrest.

Simon is a British screenwriter and director. The couple was married in May of 2007.

**UPDATE**

It seems Simon Monjack faced the scrutiny of the National Enquirer when the couple married. According to Actress Archives, Simon was exposed by the Enquirer as being an “illegal visitor”, having a civil judgment, and “several felony warrant arrests”.

But Monjack, who faces a court hearing about his future in America in July (07) and could be kicked out of the country, insists his reputation is being tarnished by people jealous of his success.

He tells American publication Us, “Like all businessmen, I have faced many lawsuits. It is a real tragedy that success, greed, envy and celebrity are the motivation for attacking my family and character.”

Monjack’s lawyer claims all cases against his client have either been dismissed, are settled or are being resolved. He also expects the arrest warrants to be dropped.

UPDATE by Mondo: There seem to be a few rumors of drug use or a drug overdose. Not confirmed at this time. Could this have had anything to do with her husband’s recent hospital visit? Just speculation and nothing more at this point.
