Brittany Murphy died on December 20th, 1999, at age 32. The coroner determined that she passed from pneumonia, iron deficiency, and multiple drug intoxication. Doctors say if she had been brought to the hospital in the days before she had passed, she may have survived. It is said that due to the pneumonia, she was having a difficult time breathing. Her husband Simon died less than six months later from anemia and pneumonia.
