Clueless and 8 Mile star Brittany Murphy was only 32 years old when she passed away from what her autopsy declared was pneumonia. According to Today, the coroner's report said Murphy had been suffering from anemia exacerbated by a heavy menstrual flow, which left her body weak and prone to infection. "By the time Brittany collapsed in her bathroom there was probably nothing the paramedics or hospital staff could have done to save her," pathologist Dr Richard Shepherd said (via the Daily Mail). "But had she been taken to hospital 24 hours earlier and given intravenous drugs, there is a very good chance she would have survived and would still be here today."
