Brittany Murphy Dies

[Melanie]

Info as to what medication was there and that she was put into the shower would be known by him. IF the media report is stating that this info came from the investigators report and only that report or there is a copy of the report in the media then I retract my opinion.

From what I know, he hasn't talked about the floor to shower thing. This was from the coroner's report --- which may have been leaked to the media.

What also bothers me is the following quote (from TMZ):

"A check of the nightstands revealed large amounts of prescription medication in the decedent's name. Also noted were numerous empty prescription medication bottles in the decedent's husband's name, the decedent's mother's name and unidentified third party names."

If she only took meds during "that time of the month" - why so many bottles on the nightstand. I have 1 drug that is always on my nightstand. My insulin. When I had surgery, I had my prescription meds on my nightstand. Other than that, I don't think the every-day-non-drug-abuser needs to keep any drugs on their nightstand....unless they use it on a daily basis.

What's worse is EMPTY bottles. Don't you throw them away. My mind has this vision of a pill bottle filled bedroom

Of course, that's just my opinion.

Doesn't creep me out when Hub calls me that either...kinda creepy though when he says "Our baby"...and to think he wanted her as a minor...just gets my hink up.

My cousin is a diplomat, he is 12 years older then his wife, he liked her when she was 13 NOT as a date, just thought she was a sweetheart. He married her when she was 19 and they have 5 kids. Married 30 years.

HAY it happens...
I do not care that Britney was 17 when he noticed and liked her. I care about him being a sleeez bucket...
I think "our baby means his and Mrs. Murphy. Just bad choice...
that is not annoying me at all.
His Sleeez story - that bothers me.

This article says she lived with them for 3 1/2 years. She must be completely heartbroken.

I know the first day it happened my heart went out to hr it still does.
I get the chills at the thought of her finding her daughter that way.

I don't know. Personally I don't keep any meds by my bedside since I have children. But I know that before they were born I kept them in a place that I would always see them so I wouldn't forget to take them.

The empty pill bottles bother me too. But it could have a simple explanation.(hopefully). Like she had just taken the last of a normal dose of a couple of her meds that needed refilling at the same time. Or that her hubby took them since some were in his name, and he had to be resuscitated after losing consciousness on a flight.
Now that I've seen the meds from the house, I'm not convinced she was a rx addict, since most of them aren't immediate 'feel good' drugs (uppers or downers).....But it's still possible.
Although in her last interview she definately appeared kinda dazed and vague, imo.

I'm pretty sure I read her Mom lived with her, but I can't for the life of me remember where.

Thanks, I was assuming that because why else would she be there so early in the AM..

In this picture she looks so much like Julia Roberts.

Mom lived with Brittany and her husband for the past 3 years. She was under the same roof. So if the guy was as bad as some folks seem to think, I don't believe Brittany's mom would be able to stand being there. Just MOO.

Also, Murphy collapsed on the floor and was placed in the shower by her husband to try to revive her. I don't know, don't ya do that when you think someone has od'd or passed out? Maybe that was his first instinct.

According to the Coronor's office notes, Murphy's mother called 911 and Monjack "attempted to revive the decedent by placing her in the shower and running the water ... The decedent remained unresponsive and purged her stomach contents prior to the arrival of the paramedics."

:waitasec: collapsed on the floor and he placed in the shower to revive her...OK Then why did he leave after he put her there?
He mother found her and yelled for him to come...
HOW do you leave a collapsed person in a shower :waitasec:
I think you would stay to make sure they don't collapse again.
I am confused because the reports also say he was in a daze and that can mean on something...

OK her mom was also married to a looser.. yes she did leave him... but maybe Britney's loser was not 1/2 as bad as her father...I have known way to women who say if my daughter is not complaining then neither am I.

I agree. With the fact that all of the meds were on her nightstand, and the previous rumors, it's most likely she had a problem. What is curious to me, is that in contrast to many of the other cases we've seen with celebrities, her prescriptions make it appear that Vicodin may have been the only "abused" drug. The other drugs don't really give a high and seem to be for valid medical reasons. I've known many people with addictions to Vicodin who are doing just fine. Maybe it was taking excessive Vicodin in correlation with the valid meds that caused a reaction.

ETA: Ativan could also be abused. But what I really wanted to add was I used the interactions check at www.drugs.com, and there were a total of 17 interaction warnings. 1 major, and 16 moderate. Here is the link. http://www.drugs.com/interactions-check.php

Klonopin is a biggie for abuse too (was my drug of choice) and with her having 2 benzo's in her name? Sorry but this girl was an addict, IMO. It sounds like she came across it honestly enough (by tryinig to get rid of her pain, anxiety and apparently Bipolar disorder) but rx's for 2 benzo's- to me (a benzo addict- not a doctor or pharmacist- so this is just MO-) indicates there was probably an issue there.

Brittany Murphy

LOS ANGELES (AP) &#8212; A Los Angeles hospital spokeswoman says actress Brittany Murphy has died. She was 32.

Cedars-Sinai Medical Center Spokeswoman Sally Stewart says Murphy died at 10:04 a.m. Saturday. She would not provide a cause of death, or any other information.

Los Angeles Fire Department spokesman Devon Gale says crews responded to a call at 8 a.m. Saturday from a home in Los Angeles that is listed as belonging to British screenwriter Simon Monjack, who is married to Murphy. Gale says one person was transported to a hospital.

Messages left for Murphy's manager, agent and publicist weren't immediately returned.

snipped>>>by me...

Why does it say the house is listed as belonging to Monjack? Is it? I had also read it was Brittany's house...? Could he afford a house like that with his financial history? Was he earning money? Curious to know more about that...

 

[OneLostGrl]

Opiates like vicodin usually cause overdose because:

a) they are mixed with alcohol and/or anti-anxiety meds
b) they lead to APAP poisoning and liver shut down

ETO - Ativan is definitely a drug with high abuse potential.

No doubt!!.. and ativan, klonpin and vicodin all together gives a good high- add alcohol and that mixture alone could kill.

Yep, and she had a vicoprophen in there too.
The med combo and the different names on the bottles SCREAM drug abuse to me. I won't be surprised to also see some illegal drugs come back on that tox screen. Her hubby's behavior in the airport and his behavior at the scene of her death combined with her call about gunfire just don't ring of prescription drug addiction as the only problem in my opinion.

E! online...

Friends of Murphy often say the two were a mother-daughter package deal. Brittany's mom, Sharon Murphy, lived with her daughter for years, even with husband Simon in their Hollywood home. Um, anyone else think that's a little bit weird? And personal boundaries weren't the only blurry lines crossed between Brittany and her mother.

"[Sharon] seemed to cause problems for Brittany professionally," says our source, quite cautiously. "I remember hearing stories that [Sharon] was a nutcase, getting banned from sets, and was even part of the reason Brittany and Ashton broke up."

It seems many relationships were strained by Brit's mom, but when you're raised in that kind of environment, it's just what you're used to

This really stuck out to me, probably because just the other day, my doctor took me off Ativan, put me on Klonopin, and told me NOT to mix the two. So why did she have prescriptions for both? The only think I can think of is my own situation - I still have a few Ativan left and just filled my rx for the Klonopin. But again, why have them both on her nightstand? The Ativan is going in my medicine cabinet and will not be used unless the doctor takes me off the Klonopin bc it doesn't work and okays me to be back on the Ativan.

I dunno, seems funny to have two benzos and two painkillers on the nightstand at the same time. Such a little thing but, IMO, it could quite possibly say a lot.

What is the difference between Vicodin and Vicoprophen? Is it just hydrocodone, one mixed with acetominophen and one with ibuprophen?

 

[arielilane]

Any thoughts on the possibility that she had fluid around the heart, which caused her to go into cardiac arrest?

 

[impatientredhead]

That is the difference, and I am assuming they are written by different doctors much like a doctor wouldn't prescribe two benzo's to the same patient.

Wouldn't that have been determined at autopsy? I'm not sure if anything has been said for sure about the results. I thought it was inconclusive pending tox results but now I can't remember if that's true or I just made it up in my head.

Thanks. I can't imagine a doctor prescribing both but I guess stranger things have happened.

In theory if a patient complains of an upset stomach the doc might change from the tylenol version to the ibuprophen version, but most adults know that tylenol upsets their stomach or not, and them both being on the nightstand, etc..

I would assume two different docs and likely one is in Brittany's name and the other in mom's or a third party.
