Brittany Murphy's cause of death has been confirmed in the US. According to reports, the actress suffered an accidental death caused by "community acquired pneumonia, iron deficiency anemia and multiple drug intoxication". The LA Coroner is said to have concluded on the subject of "How injury occurred?" It was "Drug intake".
It has been reported that the drugs in question were all prescription medication, but a full report is expected in two weeks time.
According to US website TMZ, the actress' condition was treatable and she might have survived had she gone to hospital and been given the right medication. While not being the sole cause of Brittany's death, it's thought the drugs certainly "pushed her over the edge".
